FREEDOM

The follow up to my surgery has gone really well. Wrap, bandage, sutures, all gone!
I mean, it’s not 100% perfect. I get to spend a week trying to regain full range of mobility myself and if I cannot, I get to call and schedule physical therapy. This isn’t the most pressing for everyone here. I need to rebuild some endurance and strength as well. It’s really not the end of the world now that the wrap is off. Now I’m told to move back into normal with a new 5 inch scar forming, and hopefully i...

10 Days Later.

I’ve resisted writing a blog or posting an update for 10 days. I don’t want anyone to think I’m a whining, complaining child. So I resisted. But, considering how the last 10 days have gone, an update might clear my head. It’s a lot of pity party, but you know… fuck it. Let’s have a pity party.
On March 17th, I checked in, I was put under, and a lovely doctor cut open my arm at the elbow and fiddled around. It’s honestly a common surgery. Ulnar nerve decompression (don’t look up images unless ...

Release: Blood of the Wicked

We’re here, book 2 of the Everly Abbott series, my Supernatural Thriller-Urban Fantasy Romance with vampires, murder, and a computer nerd.
If you read Servant of the Blood, you probably figured out that no one is safe. This absolutely continues into book 2 as Everly dives deeper into the world of the Tribunal and the vampires in it.
You know, one thing I really wanted from this series was vampires that could do it two ways. I want sexy vampires AND I wanted scary vampires. I wanted the imm...

I mean…
Here I am. So, while it wasn’t a week for everyone here, it was a week for me, but I do have a surgery date now.
March 17th.They’ll cut into my elbow and play with the nerve. It’s honestly not a risky surgery. It’s fast, it’s outpatient.
The surgery isn’t the problem.
It’s the… 2-ish weeks I’m not going to be able to use my left arm. Could be a little less. It’s more likely to be a little longer.
You know what I can’t do when I can’t use two hands?
Write.
(Don’t say use dictation. I’ve...

New Covers and Health Update
The title says it all. I’ve been missing most of the month. Let’s do the Big Serious Thing first, I guess. I’m going to keep comments on this blog away from global geopolitical topics except for one thing. My heart goes out to Ukraine.
This is an update and does not include all the details. Please do not comment with medical advice.
On February 11th, I had an EMG done. Results came in pretty quickly and I’ve been reckoning with what is going to happen next.
For sure: I have a severely c...

Patreon Official Launch! February 2022
We’ll we’re here, February 1st!
Today, my short story/novella Patreon starts getting content.
If you didn’t see the announcement in early January (here), I made a Patreon and you can find out more here:
With February here, I figured I would do a monthly blog post to say “hey, this is on Patreon now” and tell you what the short story or novella is in case you want to join and check it out. That way, you can see it’s being updated, Patreon is getting content, and ho...

Rediscovering Passion
In October 2017, I put down my pencil and stopped drawing consistently, walking away from being as freelance character illustrator.
Since then, I have considered it. I have sketched a little here and there. Tried to find my passion again and it just never came to me. A chibi here, a design there. Book covers, while I love making them, scratch a different “itch.” It’s more graphic design with some principles or photography. There’s a little bit of digital painting, but it’s up to personal tast...
