First, thank you to those who have pre ordered Chaos Theory or just gotten a Label Tee because you pre ordered the eBook. You make my days brighter and make me want to give up less. Pre Publishing Depression has hit though, and it makes both advertising and talking about the books harder…

       I’ve had this “I’m forgetting something” feeling all week. BUT Chaos Theory Pre order has begun! And the ARC sign up closed yesterday. I’m a bit depressed about that, hoping the sales do better. Also, Another longer snippet of Chaos at the end!

       The word for this week is UGH! If it could go wrong it did… But it got better and the first batch of Chaos Theory Tee Shirts for the Book box came in. I’m very excited because now I get to wear the new Tee shirt around! Also, as an apology for the longer Life section ramble a snippet from Chaos Theory to go with this weeks Art Feature.

       The word for this week is FINISHED! I have done so many words this week that I finished another book, I beat my record for word count per week AGAIN, and I was also a fully functioning adult. Read about it below!

       The word for this week is Turbulent. From the state of politics to the state of my emotions and mental health. I decided to do some “Radical” (to some) things in order to help with that last one, and sort of the first… Let me explain… No, it’ll take to long. Let me sum up…

       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!

       Well, that first full week of the year was a doozy. The world is a mess and so was my health, which meant I was doing a lot of avoiding the outside world and focusing on my books, promoting, and wishing I could do something about the state of the world, while knowing I’m doing all I can. 🥺

       Happy New Year! It’s the first blog of the year, and so far, it’s been a productive year! Health hasn’t been so great, but that’s to be expected when a polar vortex settles over Western New York. The word for 2025, at least for me, is Productivity! Let's see if I can keep it up. 😉

       The New Year is upon us and since it falls on Wednesday, I’m going to go over what I did this year, and the release schedule for next year, with the dates for Beta signups, ARC signups and preorders, along with the Chaos Theory Book trailer for this week’s art.

      It’s nearly Christmas, four more days, and I’ll be off to my Nana’s House. We go every year for family Christmas, games, and holiday fun. Until then, I’m going to be working on getting this next WIP finished… or closer to it. But first, an update on the Facebook party! Also, announcement and snippet from the April Release (Chaos Theory) at the end of the newsletter!

      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!

      It’s December, and I can’t be the only one who feels like last four months went by at 2x speed. I finished my WIP, Started another, and I’ve been brainstorming with my Manager about book covers for the Kalista books for next year (we still haven't picked one)!
