Life Gets In The Way

-


You might remember seeing this picture in a previous post. I used it to depict how my life was going at that time, and it's been like that again. I honestly can't remember all that has happened since August, but I do know I forgot to do a giveaway of Learning to Love Again for my birthday, so I'm going to do it for Christmas. Not only do I have several print copies of Learning to Love Again
.
, but I have copies of my YA thriller, Finding Jenna, as well. 
And, if you are not interested in a print copy, Learning to Love Again will be going on sale the last week of December as part of I Heart SapphFic's big end-of-the-year sale. 

This has been a completely bizarre year. I published Learning to Love Again on January 1st of this year, and I thought I would publish more books this year, but that didn't happen. My doctor found a lesion in my skull, and for several terrifying days, I thought I might have metastatic brain cancer. I had brain surgery at the end of March and found out that I had a hemangioma, which is a benign vascular lesion that a surgeon removed. I retired from the job that I had been at for fifteen years, started DoorDashing part-time to support my writing, and watched my oldest grandchild graduate from high school and the from basic training. 

There was more craziness. My partner found out that she has two 20 percent blockages in her heart arteries. And my youngest grandson is having liver trouble and will have to have a biopsy next month. He is only nine.

With all that has happened, I have learned to slow down and appreciate each new day. I am so thankful for everything the Universe has given me, and I have peace within that I have never had. 

Despite only publishing one book this year, I have been working on revisions of Suddenly, which will be updated and given a new cover next year. I'm adding episodes to Suddenly Continued on Kindle Vella on Amazon, and I am currently working on a sequel to Learning to Love Again, titled Ridgway Moon, that I will be posting on Kindle Vella as I work on it and eventually, it will be released on Kindle Unlimited. 

I have been struggling with my energy levels since getting Covid early in the year and having my surgery, but I am hoping for great things to happen in 2023. 

If you are interested in a print copy of Learning to Love Again or Finding Jenna, please email me at metudor.com@gmail.com

Wishing you peace and blessings through the rest of December and the upcoming holidays. 

Keep safe.
With Love,
M. E.

  114341264   ©   Andranik Hakobyan   |   Dreamstime.com Welcome to a new year, my friends. I am very happy to see 2023 in the rearview mirror. 2023 was a lot of things for me. I learned a lot about myself, and I'm not happy with who I have become. I have become a very unhappy and angry person. Part of that is because I feel that my life has been spiraling out of my control for a long time. Taking control meant making major changes that I have been afraid of making. But sometimes, you have to make painful changes for your mental health and happiness, and that's what I'm doing.  I dug out my Melissa Etheridge CD Your Little Secret  , and I've been listening to four of the songs from it on replay for the past few weeks. Those songs are: I Could Have Been You, Shriner's Park, Change, and  This War Is Over.  Change , in particular, speaks very strongly of where my life is right now. The lyrics that strike me the hardest are: "And so it goes, this...

Coming March 5th!

The official release date for Sheltered by Love is March 5, 2020! I'm so thankful for my readers who have been patiently waiting for me to finally finish this book. It's been a bit of an up and down road in the writing process, but I'm pretty happy with this story, and I hope all you like it. The story has drama, animal rescues, and a slow-building romance. Here's the blurb that will hopefully pique your interest in the story: Suzanne Jericho let her anger get the better of her, with the result being two hundred hours of community service at the Humane Society’s animal shelter. Chrissy Stein is working at the animal shelter as a vet tech so she can help her beloved animals.  Jericho, as Suzanne prefers to be called, comes from a rough around the edges, hardworking family. Chrissy comes from an uptight political family with whom she doesn’t fit.  Although these two young women come from different backgrounds, they have a lot in common. They both love a...
