My updated about me letter!

Also! I do have actual news coming on the 30th so be sure to check that email at the least. ;)

Heya!

For those who don't know me that well, I'm Abigail (Abi, AbiKay, or just Abigail coz I'm boring like that. But you got a new name I might answer. 🤣)

I'm a small biz/small press owner and I just started BeyondtheBookery.com/ which launched in February of 2023.

I am the oldest of 8, daughter of a USAF veteran dad, and a homeschooling realtor momma, the proud owner of the cutest hedgie in the world, part owner of our family's elderly beagle mix who we adopted after she was rescued from a really bad place, young Great Pyrenees who we rescued after he ran in front of our bus and followed us home literally (hoping to have a new puppy soon as Bartholomew "Bear" needs a buddy!!!), our adorable Lionhead rabbit, and around 50 of the cutest chicks (because eggs are expensive and who doesn't love having animals?!), plus a handful of Quail, and two f the sweetest kittens ever.

My family moved across the country from outside of D.C. to Oklahoma in 2021, it's been a crazy wonderful year.

I've been writing and blogging since I was 15. I'm the author of a published novella, a short story in an anthology, and I published two anthologies with the amazingly awesome M.L. Milligan! We're working on publishing two other anthologies for 2023. I am also working on publishing my debut novel in November 2023.

Fun facts about me:

• I love cooking and baking
• Drawing is a favorite hobby
• Coffee runs in my veins
• Chocolate (dairy-free/gluten-free) bribes are nearly always accepted (unless a crime was committed... maybe. 🤔)
• I dream of owning a farm by the time I'm 24-30
• Formatting is my favorite thing to work on when publishing a book
• Watermelon is my favorite fruit
• fK&C is my all-time favorite music group

And, that's all for my welcome emails from now on you'll just be receiving my normal monthly and some random announcement emails.
