Howdy, 
          
          Believe it or not, I'm still alive. This new job has really taken over my life as an all day affair. Sadly that leaves little time for writing, but things seem to finally be winding down. Settling. I also have a week long vacation coming up, so expect some updates. I've missed writing and want to get back to it, so I'm sorry if I've disappointed anyone. I'll be back soon. Till then, happy reading and y'all take care. 

@Sora-The-Runaway ahhhh, that makes a lot more sense :-) 

@Loiosh Oh, I should've been more clear. My family NEVER read, nor will they ever read my books lol I mean that I learned a lot from them growing up and apply that knowledge to my writing 

@Sora-The-Runaway oh, there is no way I’m letting my family read my books!! Hahaha ;-) 

@Loiosh I luckily have English majors in my family, but finding a good editor would be a good place to start. There's also reading about writing styles and pros. It really helped me. 

Howdy! 
          
          So I have some rather big news. I plan to self publish some of my novels on Amazon. Well, all of them eventually, but the last to leave here will be my CountryCore Series. That won't happen for some time as I have many others to finish editing before they can be published. In the meantime, please enjoy what's available for free while you can. The decision wasn't made lightly, but with how hard it is to get real traction here, the first to go will be my period pieces. Mr. Quaid, Chased Distance, Arcane Sequence Series and Freedom's Horizon Trilogy will be first, followed by the Bound Trilogy. I'll see how well they do and decide what will go next. Again, that will be quite some time from now, so don't worry about losing the free reads on my top stories any time soon. Hope y'all are doing well and happy reading! 

@Mickey_daretolove Thanks! That really means a lot! 

Howdy, 
          
          I'm sorry I haven't been around much for the last few weeks. Perhaps even a month now. My job takes a huge chunk of my time pretty much from 5:30AM to about that time in the evening with little time off in between and getting acclimated has taken a bit longer. During my time off, I've been making new friends and that used to be very hard for me. I really love the work, too, but miss writing for y'all. I'm hoping things will settle down this coming week so that I can get back on here regularly. Until I can return, my current stories are on a soft hiatus. See y'all soon. Happy reading! 

@Loiosh No, you read it lol You're good 

Howdy! 
          
          For those of y'all who didn't see, I've posted a new chapter for Deep In The Heart, which needs love. Come check it out! And if you haven't begun reading the story, know that it's the feel good story of CC Part 3. Hope y'all enjoy and happy reading! 
          
          P.S. I'll have an update for The Honey & The Blood later in the week, probably around Wednesday if I'm not too busy with work.
