10 Celebrations
This week has blown me away with blessings and celebrations. Here are 10 of them (and I think I’m forgetting something):
Willow, our kitten, turned one.
The social media fast is helping me feel healthier spiritually, mentally, and physically. I’ve been asked questions about it by friends, family, and readers, and it’s been interesting because yes, I miss some of my online interactions, but also, it has been good for doing deeper work, having better rest, and feeling more joy.
A reader messaged me on Facebook after reading The Champion Trilogy, and she wants to read more books in that world! Thank you, D’anah, you made my day! :) And the good news is, I’m working on something for that world right now.
I finished another round of edits for Dark Blade Forged because readers on Kindle Vella asked for Point of View chapters from Stelia and a few other characters. I spent the last week seeking out places I can insert those chapters and what I can do to improve the book as a whole to make it even more enjoyable when it comes out in paperback, ebook, and hardback.
The Immortal Abyss Cover Reveal took place last week, and although I’m a bit late, I wanted to say congratulations and happy book cover to Katherine Briggs! I’m looking forward to reading this. https://www.amazon.com/Immortal-Abyss-Threshold-Duology/dp/B0CXHL4JDK/
I want to wish Danielle Harrington a Happy Book Birthday to the fourth and final book in The Hollis Timewire Series. The Empowered Ones is full of twists, intrigue, heartbreak, forgiveness, battles, hope, and joy. It is one of the best series finales I have ever read. https://www.amazon.com/Empowered-Ones-Danielle-Harrington/dp/B0CX84N85T/
A reader asked about The Rayatana Series, and yes, I have a plan. Not ready to reveal more yet, but there is a plan. :)
The Clean Scifi and Fantasy Bookfunnel for new newsletter subscribers has been going well - thank you to all who joined via that Bookfunnel! :) I appreciate your encouragement. This ends the 21st, so check it out now.
The Galactic Mystery Bundle has been a blast. With eleven books spanning a breadth and depth of science fiction, it has something in it for every reader. Check it out here until the 21st only. https://storybundle.com/scifi
We have had some blue sky days in the Puget Sound area of Washington, and these days are the reason blue is my favorite color.
1 Call for Prayer
We have a very young person in our extended family undergoing surgery tomorrow. I don’t think I can share details, but please pray for T and for his parents, as well as all children who are struggling with health issues, and their parents.
You've got so much going on Tyrean! So much of it is wonderful. That kitty, for one.
I hope the surgery goes well, and T returns to health very soon.

A lot of goodness going on, Tyrean! I love it. Happy Birthday, Willow! Sweet kitty :)
And I hope your sweet family member is doing well and recovering.
All the best x
