Week 2 of 2025 brought the sickness to my household. It’s not as bad as it could be. I have a dull fever headache, nasal congestion, and a complete lack of energy. I've been treating it with lots of vitamin C, pain meds/fever reducers and rest, which means I’ve stayed off social media for the most part, wrote a staggering amount of words, and FINISHED a first draft!
Author's Life:
Because I was sick, I didn’t get to call the Orthopedic on Monday. I will hopefully call them Tuesday (as Monday is Martin Luther King Day here in the US). I also had to reschedule my other appointment today. Cause the last thing I want to do is go to a doctor’s office while sick, especially when it’s a specialist’s office. It’s inconvenient to reschedule, but I’d rather not spread this.
The work Life:
Writing:
For the writing, I finished out Deadly Sirens at 113,560 words on Tuesday, but then added 100 more words, rounding it out to 113,669. That’s a growth of 21,869 words!
I also started writing Kalista book 7, and yes, I know I said that bit I wrote with Discord was going to be the prologue, but it didn’t work. It’ll make it into the book as a flashback though. The book currently has 2,309 words, but…
Then I flipped to the rewrite of Created Angel Novels, book 7: The Fated Angel, which has been running around my mind for WEEKS. As of this newsletter, it has 35,300 words. Which brings the word count for the week to 59,478 words and a new record for me. 🤩
Formatting & Editing:
I also edited 5 more chapters of An Angel Falls, which is one fifth of the book of the Kalista Chronicles and a heartbreaker. I’m also working on formatting/editing the Omnibus, The Devil’s Daughter, which is now 33% done and I’ve finished the edit of book 1: A Born Angel.

A Sad note:
The Kalista Chronicles Omnibus: The Devil's Daughter will sadly, NOT be on Kindle Unlimited, because I would have to add the three books that are included in it (A Born Angel, A Brave Sacrifice, and A Broken Redeemer) to KU as well and remove them from all the other sites, which defeats the purpose. I will still be putting out the omnibus, but it won't be on KU... it will be WIDE.
Art Feature:
This week’s art features the Tee Shirt for Chaos Theory alongside the other two sirens shirts. Yes, I know I said I wasn’t going to do another book box. I lied or technically I didn’t, because I said I wasn’t going to do another Kalista Chronicles book box. So, to round out the Triumvirate of Deadly Sirens, I made a shirt for Chaos. I’m probably going to also do one for Deadly Sirens (April 2026) too.
Thanks for reading!
