Is This Thing On?

Tap. Taptap. Is this thing on?

I’m back. Did you miss me? Honestly, I know that the odds are good that most folks didn’t notice I was taking time off. But here we are in September, and it’s time for me to get back to work.

Sort of.

Because it took me much longer than I was planning to get The Coral Throne done, I’m not technically getting back to work yet. Not entirely, anyway. I’m working on edits for Tales from the Arena; Dead Man’s Hand. I’m blogging again, starting today, and the newsletter will come out later this week. However, I won’t actively get back to writing Tales from the Arena: King of Swords until October, after the Page and Pen Festival.

This schedule gives me one more month to catch up on Tasting History and get through my TBR pile. Of which I’ve read… well, one, and bounced off one. The one I read was For Whom The Belle Tolls, by Jaysea Lynn, which I’ve been waiting to dive into for ages — I got it on release day, but had to wait to start it. (Nope, not telling you what I bounced off.) The current read is Wooing the Witch Queen by Stephanie Burgis.

The pile hasn’t gotten any smaller, though.

I also got to the movies — we went to see KPop Demon Hunters for the singalong. SO much fun! Two more movies to catch before I’m back to work (three if you count seeing one from my couch.) What movies? Fantastic Four, Superman, and Sinners (that’s the couch movie.)

I’m also getting ready for the first of three shows in a row — Smut Lovers Conference is coming up starting the 17th. If you’re a Florida local. there’s a signing from 12 – 4pm on Saturday the 20th, and you can get your free ticket here. The week after Smut Lovers is Necronomicon Tampa, and then we wrap up the run with the Page and Pen Festival I mentioned already. Then I have a month to do promo for November releases (possibly two — no dates yet, but I’ll let you know once I know!), and get ready for Maker Faire!

For now, though? I’m going to get back to edits and recharging my batteries.
