March 2020 Update~
Dear Readers,
It’s five days into March, so I am a little late with this update. To say things have been busy would be an understatement. First, copy edits for The Cowboy’s Amish Haven came in, and I was busy fixing and returning the file. And then the great Texas freeze hit. I was lucky enough to be on the edge of the state that wasn’t affected by the outages. And while we managed to keep heat and electric, I lost water for 4 days and a few pipes burst in the cold, so getting all that repaired took some time. All in all, I am grateful we got through it will as little damage as we did, though I will be quaking a bit when I open the propane bill.
As for February, it wasn’t the best month. In the wake of my accident, I find I am still struggling with depression. I just can’t seem to pull everything back to normal. I am hoping this phase will pass, as I should be working on a new book now that my Love Inspired Debut is heading toward the finish line and will be released in late August. Don’t get me wrong. I have a lot of blessings in my life and I am thankful every day I have a home, a job and the ability to get by in this world when others are struggling. I do my best to help where I can when I see the need. But sometimes I just can’t shake that dark cloud in my head and it often gets the better of me. I’m trying, though, and hope that March will bring brighter, warmer days as we head toward spring.
That’s about all to tell. Hoping you all stay well and warm. And keep on reading!
Cheers,
Devyn

Thanks for your patience. I will also post an update for March, letting you all know what’s been going on with my other pen name, Pamela Desmond Wright, and my forthcoming Harlequin title, The Cowboy’s Amish Haven.

January 2021 Update~
Dear Readers,
Welcome to 2021. Lots of changes here, as I get back into the swing of being a writer again. As some of you may not know, I am now writing for Harlequin’s Love Inspired imprint, under the name of Pamela Desmond Wright. In Dec 2020, my agent placed one of my Amish titles, The Cowboy’s Amish Bride (now titled The Cowboy’s Amish Haven), which will debut in September 2021. I know that those of you who are used to my dark gothics and other paranormal romances will be scratching your heads as to why I took the plunge into sweet romance. The answer is simple. It is the direction I was led to write in, and so I wrote it. When I started the project, I had no idea where it would take me. I just felt a need to follow it and see where the path led.
So, it’s official. I’m back in action as an active author. I’m hoping my readers will join me as I start this new journey as a Harlequin author. I’ll be posting updates, so join me on FB and Twitter for the latest.
Take care and stay warm.

November 2020 update~
Dear Readers,
I know it’s been quite awhile since I posted an update. There are a lot of reasons for that. As you all know, 2020 has not been a great year, given the Corona Virus panic, etc… While that has been difficult enough to deal with, I was also unlucky enough to suffer a devastating accident that landed me in the hospital, and cost me my spleen. As I was recovering, my older brother passed away suddenly. These events, one after the other, sent me into a deep depression. I put aside my writing for a bit while I tried to put my life back together.
But… good news! I did pull myself out of that black funk and I finished The Cowboy’s Amish Bride. What’s more, it’s going to land on an editor’s desk within the week. I have to thank her, too, (won’t say who but it’s at Harlequin) for her patience with me. She had requested the book back in August. I was on track to deliver it in September when, a few days later, I had a very freak accident. It never should have caused so much damage–I almost bled to death internally. So had to be rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery and the whole long recovery. I couldn’t sit up at the computer and my mind was pretty much a haze. Thankfully, I managed to get back up on my feet and get back to the computer.
So, now we wait. Hopefully, 2021 will be a lot better and I’ll get to celebrate the new year with a sale!
My fingers are crossed.
Happy Reading!
