My co-authors are distracting . . .
My cats are my co-authors, and let's just say they'd rather I sit on the couch with them than type on my laptop!
Graypaw tends to circle around the laptop and headbutt the corner of the screen. Daisy has been doing this lately: staring at me all cute until I give in and stop typing to pet her. (I always give in.)
As far as writing . . . I'm getting back to it after a summer writing extremely little. Very slowly, but now that Lady of Dragons (Part One) is out in the world, I need to focus on getting my next book written--and finalize Lady of Dragons (Part Two), but that's almost done!
I'm focusing on my contemporary romance this month. Goal is 10,000 words by October 1st!
Indie/Small Press Highlight
I've read almost all of her books, and I'm sure to highlight more of them in the future, but for this month, I'll put a spotlight on one of my all-time favorites: Faeries of the Underworld by Kate Macdonald. It's a Hades x Persephone retelling where the gods are real--but they're really faeries. It's sweet and swoony and has Kate's signature whump and witty banter, and I highly recommend you read this complete duology!
This Month's Bookish Quote
"I can't imagine a man really enjoying a book and reading it only once."
~ C. S. Lewis
Art Spotlight
I commissioned mana on Instagram to draw my dragon-riding heroine Finlay in one of the most heated (literally) moments in Lady of Dragons (Part One), and she captured it perfectly!
This art hasn't been shared anywhere else yet. You get to see it first, since you're part of my newsletter! Next newsletter might have another new art reveal . . . maybe relating to a book cover . . .
I'll just leave this link here, too, in case this amazing art makes you really want to read the scene that inspired it . . . or the whole book.
