What am I up to? 

Well… I’m not sure of what’s next.

Around May of 2024 I forced myself to pick a launch date for Mine to Match (because I’m goal driven and wouldn’t have released otherwise) and went full out –  spending around $5k from commissioning an artist for my cover, to hiring a production company, to partnering with well known entities to market/advertise.

I even tried (what I thought was) a fun idea to do a “give back” launch / enter for a chance to win… annnnd, not a one person played. Epic fail – heh.

More than that though, it’s been almost 2 weeks since MtM’s launch and stats are so low I’m pretty sure it’s been mostly only my friends and family that have bought/read it… Ouch. *winces and bites her knuckle Dorothy-style* (Thank you for anyone otherwise, would you like to sign my friendship book just to keep things neat?) 

As it turns out – based on the start of amz boycotts/new (old) president/world unrest etc,  I probably couldn’t have picked a worse date to launch? Lord knows, I’m having a difficult time concentrating too. 

Or – with more realistic honesty –  maybe it’s about my writing and I should more clearly see the writing that’s been on the wall?  

Still! I don’t – AT ALL – regret writing and publishing my sassy little love stories. Doing so has been so freaking joyful (with a huge chunk of angst too tho, not gonna lie). 

I’ve got a few stories I’m tinkering with here and there but, well…we’ll see? I (like many writers), am just gonna step back a bit. *insert an “I don’t know” shrug here*

In the meantime, I wish you – and us! – all the best.

May books/imagination/love stories continue to save us all.
