It’s been a while, hasn’t it?
Writing (and life) took a few unexpected turns in 2019. I learned some valuable lessons, and a lot about the publishing industry. To put it short, I had my heart broken by it.
For the past few months, I’ve been working on a new project; a fresh start, an attempt to reclaim my love for telling stories.
On about October 29th last year, I decided to take part in National Novel Writing Month, and write something purely for my own enjoyment.
That project was a fantasy romance novel, The Lady of Blackmere.
As it turns out, I adore it. (Who’d’ve thought following the advice “write for yourself” would produce something you actually like). And, incredibly, people other than me also adore it!
I wanted to write a romance with a love interest I could see myself falling for. Brandon is a big, squishy cinnamon roll, strong enough to carry anyone off into the sunset, and gentlemanly enough to ask first.
He’s hairy, he’s sweet, he’s rockin’ a dad-bod, and I’m absolutely besotted with him.
I can’t wait to bring you more updates as the year goes on. I’m currently working the second book, and I’m having a blast.
I’m hoping to start using this blog a lot more frequently, so stay tuned for more news!
Thanks for sticking with me!
