And I’m Back … (With Exciting News)

Typing up this blog post feels a little foreign yet also so familiar – I’ve sat at this desk, looking out this window, working in ol’ WordPress many a time – but not much recently. As some of y’all may know, I was blessed with a teaching job about an hour and a half from my parents’ house. Teaching orchestra is a joy – and has its hardships – and also takes the majority of my time and my creative energy. Therefore, this blog and my writing have had to take a backseat to helping little children (and bigger kids, too) play beautiful music.

I could write several blog posts – and probably a good-sized book – about everything I’ve learned and experience since I was blessed with this job. Change is so hard, especially for someone like me, but God is faithful through all of it. Isn’t it amazing how God never changes? Moving out, learning a new job, meeting new people, and on top of it all, my sister getting married (!) was a huge adjustment for me. But it’s all for God’s glory and for the good of those that love Him. Absolutely incredible how He cares for us in so many small and big ways!

Writing Updates

As you might imagine, my writing does not have too many updates. I’ve written a smattering here and there, but nothing that amounts to many words.

But in spite of a lack of writing these days, I actually am a part of an upcoming anthology! Behold the lovely blurb:

Receiving a black rose is a death sentence.

In these seven lands, receiving a black rose is a death sentence. When these perilous flowers endanger their lives, a woman must help save the sister of the man who betrayed her.

A huntress finds herself becoming the hunted, and two sets of mortal enemies are forced to work together—if they don’t first kill each other in the process

 When a couple’s daughter is born with a deadly birthmark, can they escape in time? Or will they lose their daughter to evil?

False accusations and threats force an innocent man to flee and fight for his life—but his path to freedom is threatened by memory loss.

And when two friends become unexpected enemies, can loyalty overcome duty?

 In this collection of seven Christian fantasy romance novellas, characters will learn the value of faith and trust as danger grows and justice is threatened.

I’ll let you guess which one is mine in the mix of all of those lovely plots (comment below!) If you’d like to help with spreading the word about this anthology, please click on the link below!

COVER REVEAL FORM

While I probably won’t be as consistent as I have been with the blog, I’m attempting to post a bit more than I have in the past few months. (We’ll see how it goes once I get back into the swing of work – Thanksgiving break is a blessing!) Please let me know how you’re doing, and I hope each of you have the most beautiful of Thanksgivings! We do indeed have so much to be grateful to the Lord for!
