Giving Thanks

Hey, readers!
As we approach Thanksgiving, it's a time most reflect on life and what we're thankful for... at least it is for me. I honestly make an effort to be thankful throughout the entire year, because if life has taught me anything, it's that it is a roller coaster. And I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way.
Last month (personally) was a challenge, but it's gotten better and better, and I'm hopeful it'll continue.
I'm most thankful for my family, as we stick together no matter where the ride takes us.
I'm thankful for you - the readers - and my author community; those who encourage, motivate, and express their enjoyment of my work. What more could an author ask for? ;)
My writing lately hasn't come easy, so I'm trying to celebrate every little bit of progress I'm able to make. I won't force a story just to put out a story... so if my predictions for releases get pushed, know it's because I want to give readers (and myself) the best version!
That being said, I have managed to get a good flow going on a story that'll be featured in the Rock My World anthology, set for release in April 2023. Now you may say, wow, that's five months away! Yes, that's true, but the completed story is due mid-February, which means I have three months to write, edit, refine, and submit. And by d*mned, I aim to do it! :)
The antho is already up for preorder and listed here:
Rock My World
My story features Cheryl, a lounge singer introduced in my debut romance, Keyed Up. I now offer that as a free read, so if you've not read it, download it here:
