I'm finally back, after a long holiday break! I have plans for the 2025, new routines to figure out, and lots and lots of reading to do. I also got a little help in encouraging my daughter to want to learn to read, I'm making good progress on the Radialloy audiobook, and trying to learn how to tell the difference between giving up on something and realizing when something really is not working.

I'm more than halfway through with my current work in progress, but I'm having to change things up a bit to stay motivated. Also, I am finishing up one audiobook and starting another, my daughter is obsessed with the Amazon toy catalog, and I recently read a charming, unusual story that has really got me thinking about fantasy and how much weird stuff is too much weird stuff.

My new book is selling well, and I've reached the halfway point on the next book! I'm also learning more about astronomy, just for fun, having mixed feelings about my reading, and thinking about sequels and how they can honor their source material while still setting themselves apart.

My latest book is now available on ebook and paperback! I'm also ready to share the synopsis for the next book with you all, and I have a new way of fitting writing into my schedule. I also took my daughter to my favorite bookstore, read a classic tale of romantic suspense, and got to have a fantastic real-world conversation about why Christians should be writing science fiction.

One book is formatted and almost ready for publication, and I've started writing the next one! I'm also trying new advertising strategies, which I hate, my girls are acting out their favorite books, and I'm finding that I seem to be transitioning to a season of reading, which may or may not correspond to the transitioning seasons of the year.
