Hello! How are you? Has the world been decent to you? I know it isn't for a lot of people right now. If you are one, virtual hugs if you want them. Beyond that, you have my sympathy which isn't worth a lot, but if you have no one to talk to (or even if you do) you are welcome to hit reply and tell me about it. I have been trying to go with the flow as best I can. July was a two seizure month for my Daemon. It sucked. His next appointment with his vet is Tuesday. They'll be taking his blood to...

Hello! Has it been a long month for you? Or maybe just avery long year... My update is not super this month. My cat, Christmas, is missing. My grown daughter neglected to shut the front door fully and she got out. I hope she'll come back but who knows? I keep food out for her just in case, even though the only creature I have seen eating the food is a fat possum (fucking adorable). Daemon's no seizure streak ended with 58 days. On day 59 he had two seizures. Super it was not. The count is...

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...

March, already? The Kindle Unlimited author world is in an uproar over the idea of the amazon boycott. They are worried about losing their livelihoods and that is reasonable. However, I think they are handling it the wrong way. I realize this is my opinion and everyone is free to handle their career however they like. But it's my newsletter and this is heavy on my mind right now. In my opinion, this is the perfect time for those authors to start diversifying. As their books come to the end of...

February has been a wild ride of a super fast month. I am hopeful that March will be a little slower, a little easier. It's not probable considering the way the world, and especially the US, are on fire. So, for February, I worked my ass and now have two books publishing within the next week or so. They are available now from my website (plus there is always a code for 25% off!) Get my books now! All of the above will take you directly to my website where you can get those now, with a...

Welcome to February... New readers, hello and welcome! The world is on fire right now and whether you are a long time subscriber or brand new, I hope my books give you a respite from the blaze. My February started with my dog Daemon having a third seizure in less than three months. For those that are not familiar with what that means, it is one of the criteria for diagnosing epilepsy in dogs. His vet came by and drew blood to get his labs going and have a baseline for him as well as make sure...
