Hi everyone,

This week has gone well. I've started a new remote gig. I'm pet-sitting a new pup who's very sweet and cuddly, and I've been slowly chipping away at some writing and editing. I'm also starting some new writing adjacent activities for my friends including setting up a fellow author's REAM account. Think of something similar to Patreon (except Patreon got into hot water for a scandal).

On the publishing front, we officially have a name. The winning title for the fairytale adventure story is Enchanted Hearts Unbound!

If you're chomping at the bit to read this story, the first 3 chapters are being edited as we speak and I'm hoping to have them ready for you by next week.

I've gotten a bit more done for Snow's Captive. I have a new chapter done and drafted, but it needs a bit of editing. Warning there ARE SPOILERS here. This is from chapter 38 of this Vella, so if you haven't read the other pieces yet and want to catch up, please email me to opt into being an ARC reader. And for my non-Vella people, I will be releasing these as regular books when they're complete with character art, pretty covers, and all.

What would you like to see on a REAM account for me?

I was thinking of deleted scenes, any short stories that I write (as I have several I've not shared or only partially shared, a monthly merch item, and a quarterly character art (or scenery art since the Gemstone Massacre series has pretty cool scenery). For every $25 a month we hit for REAM, I'll put an extra hour that month into writing tasks so I can get you content and merch much faster.

That's all for now.

Have a great day and stay safe!

Sincerely,

Julia (they/he)
