I always feel that way. I take a day or two to breathe. Then I approach what seems easiest at the time first.

Snowspelled by Stephanie Burgis

Cozy fantasy romance - Cassandra's fighting her own pride and it's consequences more than anything. Wrexham is nothing but supportive. A fun, short read, and I look forward to the rest.

Book Cover for Snowspelled by Stephanie Burgis

A white woman in regency dress stands in a snow, holding a bright lantern and looking around. She seems aristocratic - her purple pelisse is no servant's dress. She looks focused, and unconcerned with the snow and magic swirling around her.

TEA TALE. Divine has learned a lot about herself, her magic, & her goddess. Now she & Saph are getting ready for the cozy Midwinter Nights Faire- the worst time for her magic to go haywire. It will take an unlikely quest, world-shaking revelations, & unexpected friends to show Divine her direction.

FOMO I went to a local author fair last year as an author with a table & somehow missed the announcement that applications were open. I don’t think they emailed me. I’m so sad. I might still see if they have any openings. I’m in no events this fall and I have a FALL COZY FANTASY READ. UGHHHHH

You all hang up your clothes? I live out of two clean laundry baskets. I don’t have time for folding and hangers when I have dieties who get strength from people believing in them to write about.
