WHAT I’M UP TO …

Things are humming along with getting Christmas at O’Neill’s ready to release in early December and I have a nice little surprise for you! It’s a teaser from the story that I really think you’ll enjoy! It even features a couple of familiar faces. 

Check out yesterday’s post here if you’d like to read it.  

whispers I don’t want to get my hopes up that it’ll last but the good news is that the weather has finally stabilized enough for me to string together a few non-migraine days in a row this week. 

It’s SUCH a relief to not be in pain and have more energy. I still have my doctor’s appointment coming up so I can hopefully feel like this more often than not, but for now it’s nice to have a bit of a reprieve. 

Although I was sad I had to cancel the Grand Rapids book event this weekend, I’m glad I did. I wound up having a migraine on Saturday afternoon and again on Sunday morning so it would have been a very challenging day for me. 

I did manage to have a nice weekend though. My cousin was in town for an alumni event at the university we both went to and along with other cousins, aunts, and uncles, we had a lovely brunch together. It was great to catch up with people I haven’t seen in a long time, and we made plans to see each other more often. 

As difficult as life has been for so many of us lately, it was a nice reminder that family (by blood or by choice) can be such an important connection in our lives. 

Want to know what else I’ve been up to?

Writing: 

• I’m over 10% of the way into Game Delay and I am having a lot of fun with Nicky & Mac! I suspect I will slow down a bit as I get into the middle of the book (like usual) but for now, the words are flowing and I am really enjoying myself.

Editing:

• Christmas at O’Neill’s is back from my editor! I will be working on those edits this weekend and then it’ll be off for proofreading! This is WAY earlier than I typically get books finished but that’s because James will be recording the audio in November so I can do a simultaneous ebook, paperback, and audio release on my website! You can find the pre-orders for that here.

Audio:

• I listened to a bunch of Preston’s Christmas Escape audio chapters this week and I am excited to review the rest as soon as James has them ready. His Blake voice is SO GOOD.  

See you here next week!
