Hello! It's nearly mid-December already. Have I finished half what I need to this month? Nearly, yes. All in all I am fairly pleased with how the month is going. I m managing to get sleep in spite of my husband's best efforts to disturb it. I am nearly fully over the pork exposure from the end of November, it really is great not feeling like I have asthma. *If you have asthma and deal with that on a regular basis you are an absolute fucking rockstar and I hope you give yourself credit for that.* Sin on a Cursed Heart is nearly finished, though my other project keeps butting in, insisting I do some work on it. The other project? Feminist horror stories. I am loving them so much. I don't know if any of you remember the Twilight Zone series that was on tv when I was much younger (and maybe replays somewhere even now), but these stories are a what you would get if you took the Twilight Zone and ran it through feminism and then sprinkled in feminine rage and the lid fell off. I have had some people read the first drafts for feedback, because I generally try to keep things a little more tame in the PNR worlds I write in, so I wasn't sure where the lines should be for this. So far, the feedback is generally that I should add more of the gruesome description. And that is what I will work on for the next pass through. Adding in all the extra details. I have added a books in progress gallery to the front page of my website. I am currently working on roughly four books. I want to get Sin on a Cursed Heart finished first, because I need to order the special editions for my Kickstarter. But, once that is finished, I will be spreading the work out more evenly. So far, the publishing schedule is: Sin on a Cursed Heart: April 2025 A Dream of Wolves: June 2025 Olivia's Flight: August 2025 A Dream of Ravens: November 2025 Feminist Horror novellas releasing in March, May, July, September, October, and December I can wait to share these with you! In the meantime, have you read this book? It is my holiday themed witchy novella boxset: https://rhiannonfutchauthor.com/smexy-books/witch-holidays-boxset/ That's it for now. I will be emailing a second time this month, with a fun surprise after Christmas. Whatever you celebrate, I hope your holiday season is good. Rhiannon |
My Daemon is 39 days seizure free. This is the longest he has gone without a seizure since Christmas last year. I feel a little like an OSHA incident calendar, but I am counting every day since the last seizure. I know there will be breakthrough seizures. They are unavoidable. But we can stretch out the time between as far as possible and I am grateful for each day that he has without a seizure. As you can see, he is 100% velcro puppy. On to the books. I have finished, and had edited, Coyote...
Hello! Three sections for this email, so scroll to the parts you prefer. First is the author and her dog updates. Then the coming book release and last but not least, this month's free book. Last month I mentioned a secret-ish thing I was working on that I would talk about when it became a little more concrete. Well, it's concrete. I've been accepted to the Pacifica Graduate Institute Psychology, Religion, and Consciousness MA/Ph.D program. I am beyond thrilled to be going after my second...
Hello! This year is just rocketing by, how is it nearly mid-April already? Author life update I am working on a sort of secret thing, and that thing will likely cause my writing to happen ever more frequently, so that is a good thing in my book. I'll talk more about that once things are a bit more concrete. At that point you'll hear all about it. In the meantime, the garden is exploding with growth. We are nearly out of the pollening. This year it was brutal. Stepping outside to walk the dogs...
