Suddenly Continues and Through This Together

-




I'm running very late on posting this month. It's been a crazy month as August tends to be. My grandkids from Colorado had to go home. My grandkids who live here in Kentucky had to go back to school. I'm trying to get stories out there for my fans. Just busy, busy busy. Plus, I had to mow the yard a couple of times this month. And it's my birthday today. Officially a senior according the the library I work at. But, at 55 I can't get any real senior discounts yet.

But, I finally slowed down long enough to write this post and share some exciting news with everyone. So last month I posted that I had made Through This Together available on the new Kindle Vella program. Well, it's not getting much attention there. So, since it's been over a month since I posted in on Kindle Vella, and it has more than 10 chapters, I can publish it to Kindle Unlimited now. I've been listening to the story again on Natural Reader. I've tried to catch any mistakes that have slipped past my editor and me in the several rounds of editing and reviewing. I'm sure I'll miss something, but that's the great thing about being self-published, I can always go back and fix it later. 

The plan is to stay up as late as necessary this evening to finish formatting Through This Together for Kindle and get it loaded so that it will available for readers before the end of this week. 

The other thing that I've done this month is start posting episodes to Suddenly Continues on Kindle Vella. So far I've only got three episodes up, but more will come. I think this is going to be a great platform for me to continue Jamie and P. J.'s story. I've had such a hard time trying to write a sequel to the story and this way I can post the sequel an episode at a time. And then after I get enough episodes put together, I can publish it on the long form of Kindle Unlimited. 

On top of all this, I've sent my next book, Learning to Love Again to my editor. Hopefully, that will be out sometime in November. At least that's the goal.

I hope everyone is staying safe. Covid is not done wreaking havoc. It's been interesting listening to Through This Together, which I finished writing last August and realizing things really have not gotten much better in the past year. In fact, they've gotten worse. But, we must all try to do our part to make things better so we can through this crazy time together.

Where Does The Time Go

Being Super Busy I started writing this blog post on July 19th, and here it is September, and I'm just now getting back to finish it. I'm changing things because the original information is outdated.  I spent the summer working on my new young adult lesbian romance, working, and trying to spend time with my grandkids. I have three grandsons who live in Colorado, so I only get to see them during the summer. This summer was so crazy that I didn't get to spend much time with them, which sucks, but it's the way things go sometimes.  The grandkids my partner, Rosa and I are raising are back in school and doing lots of school stuff. My oldest grandson, Jacob, turned 15 this summer. I can't believe it. He's almost 6 feet tall and in marching band. My oldest granddaughter, Jazmyn, is 13 going on 23. Just praying all of us survive her being a teenager. My other grandson, Julian, that Rosa and I are raising is 6, and we are homeschooling him. Socializatio

It's NaNoWriMo Season

Today is the beginning of NaNoWriMo 2023, and I've decided to work on a new YA romance this year. It has been almost two years since I published a new book! I can't believe how time has gotten away from me, but I've started about five new projects in this time period, so my goal for 2024 is to finish at least three of them, including the YA romance I'm about to start.  I had been torn about finishing a book I started during Camp NaNoWriMo in April or starting a new story. The story I started in April may not have 50,000 words left, but if I finish it next month, I can get it out to readers before the end of the year. Yes, I realize that is an overly ambitious goal, and that's why I decided to work on a new story for NaNoWriMo and start editing the book I started in April.  Yesterday was Halloween, and it was my partner's birthday. She turned 65 yesterday, and I adore her. This year has been a wild ride, and I'm learning to handle the ups and downs better. T

Tracy Chapman

I haven't gotten much done with my books this month. My life is still a chaotic mess, but I've been reading and listening to music more than I have in a while. I was so thrilled to see Tracy Chapman perform her classic song "Fast Car" with Luke Combs, who has made it a hit for himself. I had hoped they duet would happen after the song became so popular again and it was an amazing performance.  Tracy is another songstress who touches my heart a lot when I'm thinking about the changes going on in my life. In fact, during previous changes when I was first coming to terms with my lesbianism, I was listening to Tracy's CDs " Telling Stories " and " New Beginning ." I feel that my life is headed for a new beginning and hopefully that will mean more telling stories for me.  I'm still plugging along on my next YA lesbian romance, but it's been slow going. But, I have been reading and I would highly recommend this book by fellow lesbian fict
