First, I want to reassure all of you, I have not abandoned my writing or my book series! There will be a sequel, and I am hard at work crafting both amazing and horrible things for your favorite characters. However… I must confess. I am horrible at keeping up with things like social media and…

First, for all of you here in the US I wish you a belated Happy Thanksgiving. I hope you all were able to spend the time with people you love! As for me and mine, we were unable to travel this year, but, I was still able to spend some quality time with my husband…
