Happy New Year

I recognize that I'm almost a whole month late, but HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope that things are already off to great start for you, but if 2022's not everything you hoped it would be: There's still plenty of time. And, speaking of plenty of time . . .

I realized that I haven't put up a blog post since last August. I'll tell you–2021 took me for a ride (as I'm sure many of you could also say)–and 2022 is still delivering some of those earthquake aftershocks. The good news is that I currently am able to jump back into blogging and working on some of the super fun and definitely-not-at-all-mind-numbing marketing tasks that indie authors get to tackle.

While I haven't been focusing on blogging at all for months now, I have been focusing on writing still, so there's plenty of stuff coming up this year. For example, my next book, HEaR, is actually all set for publishing and is coming out next month! I'll update you on that more another time, but I will say that pre-orders are already open for the ebook versions. (I'll post a link for you below, so definitely check that out!)

In other news, I've decided on a pretty aggressive publishing schedule for 2022. Like, a new book every quarter kinda aggressive. While also editing and designing each book. And working on the meta data and marketing. And writing new books. And other life stuff. So hopefully I'll be keeping up with the blogging (definitely better than I did last year), though I'll ask for a bit of grace if I do fail in that arena.

One thing I'm hoping to get going in the next month or so–and definitely will be made a priority in the grand scheme of indie chaos–is the email newsletter I keep mentioning. I apologize for dropping the ball on that, but I wanted to really get some good ideas for content so that it will (hopefully) be a worthy read for you all. Maybe there will even be some goodies included for subscribers. Who knows?! (But, seriously, who knows? Not me!)

And on that note, I do, in fact, have goodies! If you follow me on Instagram, you'll get a sneak peek at some poems from HEaR. And if you're not already following me on Instagram, you may want to start: More poems will be coming up every Wednesday until HEaR goes live!

Until next Wednesday! 🖤
