Deeper and deeper we go: Friday Update

News:

I had a really excellent phone and in-person interview this week that unfortunately did not yield fruit. So it looks like gig economy starts for me next week. I’m also having some medical issues piling on me all at once, and it’s uncomfortable and embarrassing and frustrating (and hopefully harmless). I could use a break.

I do have a little bit of good news on the publishing front, but I can’t give details at this time.

My fifth Meridian book under my other name is going wide on March 25, but you can pre-order it now. Book & Candle is a witch’s magic shop in mystical hotspot Meridian, TX. Her partner is stolen by succubi unknown, so she hires a dangerous veteran demon hunter to help her go scorched-earth to find him again. If you like tropes, it features enemies to lovers and age gap between older characters. You do not need to have read any of the other Meridian novels; they’re stand-alones. Tattered & Torn (Meridian 6) is also already available for pre-order.

Works in Progress:

I sent Tattered & Torn in to my publisher earlier this week and apologized profusely for being late from what I promised. She should get back to me by end of next week to do the first round of edits from her side. I don’t anticipate that these should take a long time to take care of.

I wrote some flash fiction and am in the middle of writing another short piece. I might write one more before going on to Tooth & Claw (Meridian 7) edits. I’ve also been mulling over a potential new book 8, created wholly from scratch rather than anything in my series notes, although I wouldn’t want to do anything about it until I finished my Masque edits.
