I am going to be more regular about posting here—dunno if anyone still reads this, but I have no problem yelling into the void.

So, 2024 was not a horrible year for me. Yes, there were bad points—I lost my cat Jessica in July to thyroid lymphoma, and then there was the whole michigas with the election that still makes me want to throw things at the screen. But my writing income continued to increase despite the fact that I only released one book, and I got thisclose to finishing Typhoon Warning. I know, I know, but that book has been fighting me like you would not believe, to the point where I had to start working on other WIPs just to keep my writing muscles loose.

I suspect that part of the block is due to Warning wrapping up the Olympic Cove series. It has a lot of threads that I have to tie together, and it’s kinda freaking me out. Yes, writers can get freaked out by their own work. I just don’t want to screw up the dismount, you know? Storm Season was my first novel and Olympic Cove was my first series, and I want to finish it in a way that pays tribute to both the characters and the readers.

So here we are in 2025, my sales for the month so far have been excellent, I’m running a 99¢ sale on To My Muse for the rest of January, I retitled/recovered Behind the Iron Cross and it’s now on sale as A Seduction in Berlin, and once Warning is done I’m finishing off the rest of the Paladins of Crystal series, then I’ll be focusing on the Hidden Empire and Two Thrones series.

Also, I’m looking for a day job to cover the bills in the meantime. So yeah, 2025 is gonna be a busy, busy year. But hopefully it won’t be as bad as I’ve been fearing. We’ll have to wait and see.
