Newsletter - 5/10/2022

Been a weird week. A wedding, dance recitals, a parade, basketball, a concussion, Mother's Day, a broken air conditioner. Everything I try to write about it sounds odd and jumbled, so I’m just going to leave it at that.

Shit week for writing. Sorry, mom—I know you read these. Language! I picked up the pace for editing, but many things went sideways last week. A lot went right, and this newsletter helps me recall them. New pics came out for merch, I received my poster for book signings, I had good connections on IG and set up a book tour through bythebookvbp, but enough things sputtered that I came away with a “WTH?” for the week. (Marla, I'm about a week to a week-and-a-half out from sending you the book for edits).

Time to re-ignite my countdown timer! That may look like a lot of time, but from my perspective, it isn't.

o To-Do list for writing last week:

~~Email updates~~
~~Crank up the pace on editing, just a half-notch or so.~~
~~Contact Goodreads Librarians to add Book 4 to the series on GR.~~
Create back cover for Book 4.
~~Set up Goodreads Giveaway for Book 4~~
Add prologue for next series to Book 4
Name next series - For the prequel, I’m thinking “Thaumatropic Roots” ( https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/thaumaturgy & https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/tropic the 4th entry). Tell me it's too weird.
