Welcome to M.C. Solarisâ March Newsletter
Hiiii! :)
2022. The year of unexpected plot twists! Lol!
Okay, really though, am I the only one whose 2022 has been a barrage of unexpected plot twists and turns?!?!
We got engaged! (This deserves a hundred more exclamation points! Lol!)
We found where weâre getting married! (More on this below!)
Weâve begun the big behemoth of wedding planning! (This stuff is no joke! Lol!)
Weâre excerising and dieting! (#WeddingWeightGoals #ThisIsAFullTimeJobInItself )
Weâre holding the vision of an epic honeymoon! (#ByeFelicia to travel restrictions! ;) )
Weâre dreaming of buying a home! (All the positive vibes are welcomed to help us manifest this! Lol!)
Weâre talking of other exciting future married life things!
Our professional careers are undergoing some big changes too!
Oh⊠and, surprise! Iâm back in college! (Yeah, believe me, I didnât see that coming either! LOL!)
So, I was sharing all of this with my best friend and joking about how I feel like my life has migrated to the Tower card in a traditional Tarot deck.
(Pictured above for visual reference. Yes, itâs very dramatic. LOL!)
Anyway, I kid you not, a few minutes later, as I was grabbing a fork from the utensil dispenser at the store, the entire contraption just fell apart right in my arms. I was literally standing there, blinking, and holding pieces of the dispenser in my arms as the nearby worker rushed over to relieve me of my self-dismembered burden.
I was still on the phone with my best friend and I jokingly said to her, âThis is a literal representation of how my life is falling apart around me.â
We had a good laugh over it because as dramatic as that sounds and as terrifying the Tower Tarot card looks, to me, whatâs going on in my life at the moment doesnât feel âbadâ or negative in the least.
It just feels like a shifting, rearranging, and realigning type of process⊠in a good way!
I mean, hello! Some *big* things in my life are taking place this year!
Marriage. School. Career. Home.
So, it just feels as if the âmagic of lifeâ (as the species world calls it ;) ) is clearing out the old and laying down a new solid and sturdy foundation to better prepare and support this next phase of our lives.
This âdeath/rebirthâ or âbuild-up/breakdownâ is a natural cycle of life and I welcome it!
Our feminine bodies literally go through this on a physical level every single menstrual cycle. We build up our uterine lining, prepare for pregnancy (whether we want it or not lol!), release it, and then start the process all over again.
Every. Single. Cycle.
Also, think about the seasons of nature. Spring, summer, fall, and winter.
Same. Exact. Thing.
And hereâs another example for ya, the phases of the moon. New moon through the full moon.
Yup. Samesies!
And since weâre talking Tarot and Tower card fun, the traditional Tarot deck follows this natural cycle too, beginning the journey with âThe Foolsâ card (AKA new beginnings) and ending with âThe Worldâ card (AKA completion).
So, Iâve learned to embrace the natural ebb and flow of life, including the periods of âbreakdownâ or âdeathâ because I know that rebirth is just around the corner which is where the new seeds that were planted begin to blossom and grow! :)
On that note, I hope youâre able to see why Iâve been so MIA and spotty on messages, social media, and all the authory things! And I want to TTTTHANK YOUUUU for your continued patience, understanding, love, support, and all the things as I make peace with the fact that all of the glorious writing/publishing/authory plans I made for this year are completely up in flames. And Iâm watching them burn as I fly out of the Tower card and journey onto whatever awaits on the other side! ;)

When life writes unexpected plot twists in your story, how do you feel you handle it?
And perhaps, the better question is, how would you like to handle it?

AUTHOR INTERVIEW ALERT
My fellow Midnight Magic authors and I participated in a group interview. Check it out below and here on my blog for the other author responses too.
What's the title of your book in Midnight Magic?
Caswell Convict (Caswell Lion Pride, Book 1)
Tell us a little bit about it!
Caswell Convict is an adult paranormal lion shifter romance. Maddie is a mind healer and the therapist assigned to one sexy VIP lion shifter who committed murder. Heâs also totally off-limits⊠Really though, he is!
If you like swoon-worthy males, heroines with feminine strength, an engaging plot, satisfying relationships, steamy love stories, and happy ever afters, then youâll want to immerse yourself in the Caswell Lion Pride!
What's your main character like?
Maddie is strong and sassy. Sheâs also a mind healer and the therapist assigned to one sexy VIP lion shifter whoâs totally off-limits. Sheâs a respectable mind healer whoâs doing her best to abide by the Healer Code Of Ethics but the damn alpha male lion keeps pawing at her like sheâs his prey.
Is it part of a bigger series or world?
Caswell Convict is the first book in the Caswell Lion Pride series but it is a part of a bigger world first introduced in Calypsoâs Heart, Orionâs Order book 1. In fact, Clyde (hero in Caswell Convict) is a part of Rhykerâs Key (Orionâs Order book 2).
Is there anything else you want to tell us about your book in Midnight Magic?
Be prepared for a pride of sexy lions, a hilarious best friend, dating app antics, and canât forget the steam! ;)
...BECAUSE SHARING IS CARING, RIGHT? :)

They were each otherâs biggest mistakes. Hers, for letting him in, and his, for letting her go.
Seven years after what was supposed to be the best night of Victoria's life, she is finally ready to return home and face the memories that she spent so long running away from. She is certain she has moved on, but the minute she sees Gabe Matthews, all of the feelings she repressed come right back up to the surface. Gabe says heâs changed, but can she ever truly trust the man who shattered her heart all those years ago?
Gabe Matthews was not a good man, but he had spent the last three years doing everything he could to redeem himself. When the only girl he ever truly cared for walks back into his life, he is faced with the ultimate test: do the right thing and let her go, like he tried to do so many years ago, or be selfish and make her his. He wants to be the good guy, but sometimes, chemistry just canât be controlled, and Gabe will be damned if he lets Victoria walk out of his life a second time.
