What’s New
Well…..Decorum is under contract with a publisher! You know that moment when all your hard work and dreams come to fruition….yeaaahhh, we’re there. Now, the reality is that the book still has a long way to go - I did NOT realize how task-ladden the process could be so bear with me here. There’s a ton of hurry up and wait, but there’s good news. You, darling subscriber, will get the first sneak peak of the cover art! (Not yet, not yet…it just went under contract two weeks ago, but I had to let y’all know.) So, y’all keep an eye out for the pre-order.
If you haven’t started Unrequited, here is the trailer and here is the link to access the story. In Unrequited, no one has heard from Grace in a week. So why hasn't her husband reported her missing, and why is a secret friend still penning her letters? Lies, stationery, and red herrings abound in this thriller that'll keep you asking - who can you trust in Grace's circle?
FYI: It is free to read my stories on Substack and you don’t have to subscribe. (I greatly appreciate anyone who does, but it is not required.) There are two subscription options for anyone interested - free and paid.
Check out the story and let me know what you think. We have group chats going for Game Night and Unrequited - I’d love to chat with you all.
Mindful Moment
This is home for us, and they’re my whole world. What pushes you to do more and be more? What’s your motivation? Your happy place? I encourage you to take time to think about it, to work on it as hard as you work for someone else.
If you use a planner, a phone app, or sticky notes, pull it out right now and schedule in something fun, something rejuvenating, or 15 minutes of any task that’ll put you closer to a goal. If you need some inspiration, here’s my writer planner -
