The last few years have been rough. Really rough, if I'm honest.

Between you know what virus, family troubles, health hardships, and moving across the country it's been a little bit crazy.

July started or actually August, really, shifted things around quite a bit for my family with new and old things coming to a head, and these changes have brought a new aspect to most of the things I'm doing.

You can read about it here... It's not exactly the most pleasant story, but you can find more of why I have changes coming in that blog post.

Some of these changes mean that I have to consider what I keep doing and what time I focus on what.

I am finishing Seize the Moment and it will HOPEFULLY be published on October 10th. The writing submissions close on August 31st.

Aside from the final Seize the World anthology, well, I don't know.

I can't confidently set a certain publishing date for any of my other stories. I do have some collaboration releases coming out and I hope to keep doing that, but we'll see.

It's just that with how things are, the way God's leading me, and everything I don't see myself being able to keep working without making more of a profit or income for myself.

I was going to do the fall launch of merch on August 31st, however that hasn't gone as well as expected so it is being postponed I may still do a fall launch. Speaking of...

SEIZE THE MOMENT PRE-ORDERS OPEN ON AUGUST 31ST!

Add Seize the Moment to Goodreads!

Some other super fun news is that I have a story coming in another collection!

My short story, Those Days, will be released in

Fables of Hope and Light | A Collection of Whimsical and Contemporary Stories

Which let me tell you, I CANNOT WAIT for this collection to be out!

That's about all I have to share, except...

For the promised giveaway!

Instead of just one giveaway winner, I will be gifting an ebook copy of ONE of the Seize the World anthologies to every person who responds to this email

All you have to do is add the book to Goodreads.
