Hi ,

I was gaining steam again after dealing with the loss of my friend/agent. Then last week my mom and step-dad (who is highly compromised) both got covid. Along with taking care of them, I worried I'd get it (I feel okay so far...I'm taking a final test today to be sure I don't have it). Then yesterday, I woke up to find my cat dying. Within ten minutes of me finding her, she was gone. One night, she was fine (at least no signs of a problem). The next morning, she was gone. I've have enough heartache these last two months. 

I am optimistic about 2024. I have big plans (as I always d0) and am working on being better at executing them. Of course, Murphy often steps in to muck up said plans. Today, it's a tech problem with creating the last chapter of the audio version of Deadly Valentine. Tess and Jack are being held at gunpoint in a house that is about to fall down...😟 The tool I was using has decided to close down, and I haven't found the right tool to switch to. Until then, Jack and Tess, and I'm sorry to say, you, will have to wait. 

But...when the wait is over, I have some great stuff planned, including creating audio series of Old Flames Never Die, book two in the Valentine Mysteries! Plus, I plan to make versions with the spicy bits that I normally have to cut out for public podcast and Youtube. These versions will be posted in my Ream community. I'm in the process of outlining the perks and benefits of the community, which will include the uncensored audio episodes, bonus content, and more. You can follow me for free, or you can help support the creation of Valentine and other stories by joining. 

Still free for you....
