It’s my birthday week! On Tuesday, I’ll be 32 years old AND it’s going to be 50°F and right now it’s only 3°F… Don’t ask me. The weather is Bipolar, my body is making life difficult, BUT I did a lot this week!
Author's Life:
Most of our snow melted during this weeks mini “heatwave”, but then we got another 3 inches from Wednesday night to Friday morning. I’m happy that it was only that much and not the 2 feet that Buffalo got (an hour north of us where my Viking (Hubby) and Father work). I also had my evaluation/first visit with my Physical-Occupational therapist about my thumb issue on Monday. I have Carpal Tunnel AND Game Master’s Thumb, but she’s confident that with exercising and therapy 2 times every week, that It’ll improve. I’m not so sure as the exercises make it hurt worse after only 10 reps instead of the 30 she wants me to do 3 times a day. 🥺
I also had my bi-annual knee injection this week. Good news is, It's no worse than it was a year ago! BUT Between the weather, the snow, and the ick my knee is NOT happy. It hurts so much that I didn’t do my normal errand run yesterday, which is why this is going up later than normal too. I’m ALSO going to be participating in my first Facebook Party in a group tomorrow for my author Friend, Micca Michaels birthday, and I’m hella nervous as it's my first party that I'm posting for 😵 It’s taken me half the week, between making cover art and formatting, to make all the content for it. I’ll let you know how it goes next week!
Amidst all of this. I actually got some other stuff done too!
Writing, Formatting, & Editing:
Formatting & Editing:
I’ve been working my butt off this week getting the Omnibus ready, which included checking the book size as the Zon has a 860 page limit for books. Sadly, this means the Omnibus is going to be 7x10 instead of 5x8 or 6x9. I can’t control that, since I don’t want to squish the font, or omit anything.
I’ve also finished the cover for the Omnibus AND An Angel Falls! The cover reveal for the latter won't be until June 1st, as we still have Chaos Theory release in April, the ARC signing opening on January 1st, and the Omnibus reveals and release too!
Writing:
This week, I wrote the Short Story for the Omnibus that is titled THE SOULMATES STRUGGLE. It is 11k words and a good addition to the space between Kalista Chronicles, Book 2: A Brave Sacrifice and A Broken Redeemer.
The Omnibus:
This coming Summer I will be publishing an Omnibus of the Kalista Chronicles that will be STRICTLY Kindle University (for eBooks) and on Amazon. It will contain A Born Angel, A Brave Sacrifice, and A Broken Redeemer, which, fun fact, was going to be one book when I started writing.
It will also include:
💜 Artwork in between each book
💜 The Soulmates Struggle: A NEW short story
💜 NEW Cover art! (Reveal March 1st)
✨ Title revealed January 1st!

Art Feature:
For Art this week, I only got to make book covers, since they took a LONG time. So, today you get the 2nd picture of the “Cozy Christmas” Set from a few weeks ago. This is Lori and her soulmate, whom I shall not name… mainly because I think he might get a name change…
Thanks for reading!
