Ah! That’s pretty much the only thought running through my head these days.

I have a book releasing in 3 weeks!

I’m going to Vegas in 3 weeks+3 days!

Why did I do this to myself?

Why am I going to Vegas in November? I’m headed to a writer’s conference! I’m so excited to go and learn new things and network with fellow writers, even if I’m sad that some of the people I was most excited to finally meet in person won’t be there because...well because the world is a stupid place sometimes. 

I’m in a frenzy of prepping for my trip to Vegas next month. It feels like so long since I’ve traveled for more than a family visit that I don’t know what I’m doing anymore! How many pairs of underwear do I pack? How many Clif Bars is too many? 

If anyone is local to Vegas and wants air hugs and kisses, Friday, Nov 12 from 10am-4pm is an author signing event at Bally’s—come see me! I just got a whole order of paperbacks and will have them available for sale at the event. Admission is free, AND you get a free 2 month subscription to Kindle Unlimited for coming.

What’s New?

I was hoping to have a cover to show you this week but it’s still in the works so how about a sneak peak from Crossed Stars instead? (*subject to change)

Preorder Crossed Stars now!

What’s Next?

Third Wheel, book 2 in the Oak Hills series is up next. Ideas are bumping around in my brain, jostling to see which one is going to be the winner. I already know this one will be based on the ballet Le Corsaire, so if you’re the kind of person who likes to do extra credit I suggest you start here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SztMzv2cW4Y&t=450s

Fun fact: baby Penelope was cast as an extra in that particular production—it was filmed at the Segerstrom theater in Costa Mesa back when I was 16. You can see me in the clip above.

At the 6:20 mark I’m sitting in the group of girls at the very back that gets dragged offstage. I'm the one with the longest braids, you can see me on the left, framed between the male dancers in red and white in this screenshot:

That's all I have for you today my lovelies!

Stay amazing,

Penelope
