Well, things went a bit longer than I expected. I was waiting a long time to work on this book. I started it in 2022! Auggie and Cal took a few detours I hadn’t expected—some books just do that—and it ended up way longer than anticipated. I try to keep all the books similar lengths in each series, but …

There…is a white rabbit currently hanging out in my spare bathroom. It just got too cold out there last week, and…now there is a white rabbit living in my bathroom—temporarily. He’s a hilarious little creature, but someone probably needs to explain to him that he’s supposed to be terrified of dogs. He shows no fear of them at …

Well, an update on what’s going on with Apple/Nook/Smashwords for the new books. I am definitely not pleased, but I am starting to calm down.  I spent a few hours yesterday trying to figure out what is going on with Apple and Nook and the distributor before I had to take kiddo to her softball lesson.

(And of course it is 100 pages longer than I anticipated, totally throwing off my schedule…) And Fletcher? …

Well…it’s been insanely busy around here, like it almost always is. Hubs started a new job, working 1-10 five days a week. Kid made a travel softball team ninety minutes from home. She started school again. (Homeschooling high school while working is very, very hard!) I’ve been doing a lot of driving lately! We tried …

Well, things have been busy as usual around here. (It always is during softball season, since I always get pulled in to help coach!). Rec league softball is over now—her last year. Leagues around here only go up to 13U, and she’ll be 14 this December. So, we’re starting the travel ball tryouts. She’s never …

Well, it’s been a while. Again. Time just keeps getting away from me, especially when I am heavily into writing a new book. Things have been beyond chaos. Total roller coaster. We were looking for a larger house, with better office space for me, and some room to spread out. We found one we liked well …
