Writing progress, September 21, 2025

This may not look like a lot of progress because, frankly, it’s not. And that was my intention for September.

I took almost three weeks away from writing to take the vacation of a lifetime, visiting the UK, Ireland, and Iceland with my daughter. We had a fantastic time in Iceland – a bucket-list country for me – and all the other places we visited. Look to my Instagram soon for pics!

I received Advances and Retreats back from my copyeditor, and on a few quiet days on my trip, I was able to do the final polish and send the manuscript off to my proofreader.I made good progress in the second half of August on book 5 in the 40 and Fabulous series, Marriage and Trouble. I’ve had to put it on pause to focus on Advances and Retreats, but I hope to get back to drafting soon.

Also, don’t forget to grab your ebook copy of Work with Me, which is currently F-R-E-E on all retailers! (I’m not sure how long it will remain free, so grab it while you can!)
