2022: Quarter 2

Welcome to Quarter 2 of 2022!
We're back with another attempt at keeping folks updated on projects and the general turnaround expected of each process, from writing to audio mastering. Quarter 1 had a serious mishap, as I quite literally began January 1st with Covid and was unable to write for nearly the entire month. Despite trying to convince myself to the contrary, I couldn't make up the time lost, and so projects have shifted about one month, which includes the release of The Doctor (Magic & ...

Reads: March, 2022

The Doctor (Magic & Steam 3) once again took up most of my month, but I got a few great reads in, including an old favorite. Mixing pleasure reading in amongst the research definitely does the heart and mind good!

Reads: February, 2022

February was a wild month. I've been full-throttle trying to catch up writing The Doctor (Magic & Steam 3), after all those weeks lost to Covid, so while I got a bit of reading done, it wasn't as much as I usually do. But I've got a never-ending stack of research books to delve into during March, and I'm re-reading an old favorite and genre cornerstone series: The Adrien English Mysteries by Josh Lanyon, so this will be a fun month!

Reads: January, 2022

My plans for beginning 2022 with once again keeping up with my monthly reads and reviews sort of went to the wayside when my cat got sick (he's better!) and I caught Covid (I'm also better!) But that lingering fatigue is hard to combat and I have only just now had the energy and attention span necessary for reading again. So long story short—no new reads in January.
I do post my reviews at both Goodreads and BookBub, if you'd like to follow at either website, and I have several books I expect to ...
