Feeling the Burn (Out) – September’s Writing Update

I have to say I'm a little jealous of those of you in the Southern Hemisphere who have just jumped into spring because I absolutely detest autumn.

Getting Double Booked in August (Writing Round-Up)
Hello Bloglandia! I almost didn't get around to doing a video update this month (hey, who just cheered?!). But in the nick of time, I threw myself in front of the camera phone and recorded a writing update.

A Stormy Month & A New Toy for Book Nerds
Hello Bloglandia! First up, let me just say I am in no way making light of the situation in the Southeast US where loads of people are having a terrible time with Hurricane Ida. Anyone going through that loss, putting up with the aftermath, and having to deal with insurance and clean up is a … Continue reading A Stormy Month & A New Toy for Book Nerds
