Holy cuss words! Holy cuss words! HOLY MOTHER LOVING CUSS WORDS!!!!!!! 7 months.... 7 long roller coaster months to get a first draft (not consecutive but total time it took from start to finish) Tears Smiles Laughs Gray hairs (kidding...? ?) Odd (all) hours Perseverance Determination Dedication Gratitude ...And more, so so much more! And it’s only the beginning of Book 4’s journey... revisions galore here we come — weeeeee! ?? But first, I mayyyy or may not be about to attempt my first ever short story... let’s see if I can honor the word “short” shall we? ? (Publishing ETA for Orion’s Order Book 4: fall 2022??)

At this point in editing Deacon’s Star, I feel like the main character in the movie Yes Man when he approves every bank loan that comes across his desk because... Essentially, everything the editor recommends at this point pretty much gets approved ??? Also, no matter how many times the manuscript is combed through, I try to remind my recovering perfectionist self that there will still be little things that slip through the cracks and that’s okay because we did our best and that’s all we can do ? Here’s to being another step closer to publishing Deacon’s Star! ?⭐️ (Coming soon - tentatively October!!!)
Stay tuned and mark your calendars for a SUMMER SOLSTICE RESET and virtual retreat!!! ??Solaris’ Summer of love - June 20th to June 26th?? Video with details coming shortly!!! #solarissummeroflove
If you missed the April newsletter, here’s a quick recap: I feel called to share some raw and unedited “stream of consciousness” excerpts that were written 99% of the time upon waking and were my pretty much verbatim translations of the vivid dreams that came to me that night. ⠀ This month’s is titled THE DRAGON KING and it's long—so long (about 3 thousand words) that I’m going to split it up into two parts in this and next newsletter. ⠀ ***LINK IN BIO FOR FULL EXCERPT*** ⠀ Looking down… she froze. ⠀ She was met with huge reptilian eyes of brightest blue. Well, huge in relation to the head and body. She blinked as the creature’s nostrils—like a horse: round and large—flared as it’s snout got closer and sniffed her hand again. ⠀ Those big, blue eyes kept flicking between her and the food. ⠀ The creature was like an adorable, tiny dragon with delicate wings. And despite being compared to the ancient, fire-breathing creatures from fantasy stories, the only big thing about the creature before her was those big, curious eyes that held a youthful air. The cute thing was the size of a house cat—it even had four legs with toes tipped with claws. And it’s reptilian skin held a patterned color scheme of bright blues, something akin to a rainforest reptile. ⠀ Clearly, it wanted food. ⠀ “Are you hungry?” She smiled. ⠀ Her voice seemed to startle it—the creature freezing for a split second, just as she’d done when she first discovered she wasn’t alone. ⠀ Those big blue eyes looked into hers as if it were trying to understand what the two-legged alien creature was saying. ⠀ Her smile grew wider with warm affection. “Let’s see.” She looked at her bowl. “What would you like?” For whatever reason, she plucked one of the creamy nuts and set it on the stone next to her. ⠀ Those nostrils flared several times in quick succession as it practically sucked it up like a vacuum. Then it struck, quick as a cobra—so fast it actually had her momentarily pause at the lethal beauty of the strike—but then she saw those big, almost innocent eyes on her as it gobbled up the offering. ⠀ The creature seemed to be the master of puppy dog eyes and was clearly not above begging. ⠀ **LINK IN BIO FOR F
