After working through some titles, I decided to adjust my writing schedule slightly for the new year. This is adjusting for life and the general “feels” I have for writing that title. Because if I don’t take those into some account, I stall in my creativity, 100%. Below is the updated schedule.
Keep checking back for updates!
January: Zareen Hellhounds Book 3
Paranormal/Dark/Shifter Romance
March/April: The Beast & The Rose
Romance fantasy/Romantasy
Started this as I wanted to try my hand at a Romantasy and was having some deep contemplations about The Beauty and the Beast story. I have always wanted to read one where the beast is truly a beast and not just some emotional incell that happened to look beastly, and he is NOT the hero of the story. While I enjoy the universal fantasy of the beast as he usually is, I have felt starved as a reader lately for the concept of a real man. So, this is me exploring that question of what truly makes a man a ‘beast’ and what makes a man a real man. I’m in the mid-point of Act II on this one. So far, I’m loving it!
July/August: TBD- More Sci-fi Book 2
Alien/Sci-fi Romance
I have been missing Divak and crew, so I decided to finish the manuscript I have for book 2 of the Federation of 9 Galaxies series. I dubbed it “more Sci-fi” as a working title due to my great friend Travis. Yes, Travis, there will be even more Sci-fi-ness in this one.
October/November: Gideon: Hellhounds Book 4
Paranormal/Dark/Shifter Romance
This will be Gideon and Lou’s story. I’m outlining this one carefully, as I want it to go right, which is why I pushed it back a bit. So hang in there, any Hellhound fans I happen to have out there. The Hellhound of Lust will be on his way.
December/January: Festival of Lights: Second Book of Uldvar
Fantasy/Epic/Slow Burn/Love Triangle Romance
This is truly my ambitious project. I cannot leave Uldvar alone, and I am really ironing out the outline for this one. Although this title has the fewest copies of all my work, I still love this story immensely! And I have a serious issue with leaving things unfinished. If you have picked a copy of this one (THANK YOU) and stayed tuned for the second in the series. Big things will happen for Alicia, Tyfor, Duan, and Daycan!
For any wondering how I’m writing this much and still have a day job, I pretty much dedicate ALL my lunch breaks, evenings (after I have dealt with kids and chores), and weekends to writing. I do this instead of video games, tv shows, or movies. I have done this for so long (since 2018) that it has become a habit, really. So I really don’t have the angst of staring at a blank page like most writers complain about. I have no issue getting things on a page. But sometimes, it’s just that, THINGS on a page that I have to seriously edit later. It’s remarkable what escapism from actual physical pain will make you achieve, though.
I have the opposite problem of most writers, really. Sometimes my husband has to remind me to touch grass (or a cat) and to take a break once in a while. He’s such a wonderful husband!
So stay tuned! My other 2026 goal is to get more consistent posting here. Thank you for all your views and reads!
