I update the 'Home' page with information regularly (rather than posting on social media). Be sure to check in if you're interested in what's going on with me/the books!

Updated: 03/09/2025

Maybe disregard half of what I updated yesterday! ha!

I really might not switch sites. I might work on this one. But there might be moments here and there where pages are having issues or something. Or there might not.

MAYBE I WILL WRITE INSTEAD.

It would be nice.

We shall see.

I did post the blog post about the new covers! You can find it below. ^.^
I should say... The post is extremely personal, and it goes over not just how the last bit has been for me but gets into a lot of the aspects of publishing in general as well. Hopefully, if you read it, it really will 'make up' for the lack of updates last year. (It will certainly make sense of them, I would think!) 

How GetCovers Changed My Life

Updated: 03/08/2025

I'm so sorry about the absence! I've been working here where able, in part on new cover things and in part on getting the books published wide. I've got most of the remainders coming out of KU in a couple of weeks. (If you're a KU reader, there's only a short bit of time to add them before they're gone!)

I've been doing a lot of assessing over the months, on 'which thing is the right thing', in part pertaining to the KU/wide debate. Both have their good sides. I just know, from how last year went... I was happiest when I had series starters permafree and had the books wide. Yes, I enjoy some things about KU and have had moments of being very happy while books were enrolled. But... also the opposite. 'Happy' is a word I've been thinking about. 'Rightness' is another word.

I feel things are moving toward both those words/states of being.

Another aspect of that pertains to my site. In some ways, it's hard to have an author site. It might sound stupid, but having limitations about how many images you can put in a line, and the pain in the BUTT with managing links for different retailers, and different countries for each retailer. It ends up with you using Universal Book Links instead of your own site to direct people to the right place for your books. And there's nothing wrong with that, but I just at times wish it were a bit... easier. I get overwhelmed thinking about adding 12x4 links for each book on each page, then linking to other pages, then this or that. It's kind of like... When you have a full cup already, and that x1 turning into a x2 turning into a x3 can make you look at a thing and feel like... Yeah, I ain't touching that. (In part because you end up having to redo it seventy times for each of the five billion books for one reason or another. Or you just don't have the time. Or even if you had the time, you have five kajillion other things that would be a better use of/for it.)

I want to write again. It just feels like no matter what I do or how hard I work, there's one time-suck after another. I haven't written in SO LONG. (Although I did start a book a few weeks ago that I'm very excited about. I just need to clear the table a little--literally, figuratively, spiritually, mentally. Any other ly's applicable.)

BUT. I just found a site builder specifically for authors, and it was one of the biggest reliefs ever. (The links get attached to the book itself instead of the page or the text, which is SO NICE.)

I'm going to mess around with it a bit, but I wanted to warn everyone that there might be a bit of time at some point within the next few weeks where my site is down. It might be for a minute. It might be for an hour. A day. Hopefully not longer than. But. I am borderline technologically inept. If I DO switch, everything should be FAR more streamlined, books and their info far easier to get to. Hopefully it will be a smooth process. And hopefully I don't waste my time. I've been hoping SO MUCH for something that would work and be more suited to/for what I need a site for.

I have most of a post written up, that I plan on posting after the switch (presuming it happens), about all the new covers and such. ^.^ (It's super long and rambling, and it might go past making up for the lack of updates, in being too much information! ha!)

I hope everyone is doing well. I'm doing my best here!

Hoping to have more/new books for you soon. ^.^
