Happy New Year?

Just a reminder: It’s okay to leave comments!

I haven't had a lot of time for writing or art lately, but I'm hoping to get back in the swing of things for 2023. I've put out posts on Medium, Patreon (about Simily), and Simily looking to see if there is any interest and, if so, where. I'll try to be more active and consistent in posting until I can whittle things down to the more popular sites.

The Simily entry is a flash fiction horror story I borrowed from my blog with a few updates. So far, I can hear those crickets chirping away! I'm not sure how well Simily will work for stories with a lot of dialogue. The formatting isn't the best.

I did get to do a little work on a Kindle Vella story, but there's a lot to do on that before it's ready to publish.

I haven't done anything on Substack or the website. Now sure when/if that will happen...

I do have some news from other authors! Terri Deno has posted the first chapter of a new story on Wattpad. She had shown me the cover a long time ago, but hadn't had a story ready to go with it. Now you can begin reading Lola McAffrey's Great Disappearing Act today! Here's the blurb:

Lola McAffrey is in that sophomore limbo--she and her best friend Cori are no longer wide-eyed freshman, but they also aren't yet experiencing the privileges of being upperclassmen. When Lola comes up with a great idea for a social experiment to disappear, she risks everything--her friendships, her family stability, and maybe even chance at true love. Will it all be worth it in the end?

That's all I have for now!

Wait - I lied. I'm starting to collect books to give away at the Shore Leave convention in July. It should be quite a selection!

Okay, now I'm done!
