I've been out of it for a few days due to some unfortunate events in my family. My kid is sick again, same time as last year, and a similar illness. The doctors are asking for more tests to figure out why this keeps happening, and on a kid as young as mine is, they're pretty scary and painful. I'm not looking forward to that. In the same week we got this health news, one of my grandparents also passed. When it rains, it pours.
But in happier news, I have uploaded the final edits for Vampires & Vinca (Hawthorn Witches Novella #4), and bumped up the release date to March 1st, so fans of that series will be getting the next installment a few weeks earlier than previously scheduled. The pre-order for Necromancers & Nettles, (Hawthorn Witches Novella #5) is now up with a tentative release date of May 3rd.
Today, I started fleshing out my existing outline for Novella #6 using a new technique. I'm hoping the additional outline details might up my writing speed a little more. With some other impending health-related stuff later this year, I want to try to keep my release schedule the same without any potential sacrifices to the quality of the stories. We'll see if it helps, and wish me luck!
Happy Reading,
Al
