In addition, after a long struggle maintaining a social media presence, I've decided to remove myself entirely from all platforms. I will miss the interactions and other fun and interesting moments, but I've never been very good at such things, being more of a solitary type who prefers to listen and watch from a distance. My "last stand" was on Mastodon, which has been a true eye-opener, a platform that showed me it's still very much possible to be online without the baggage of a centralized space. It's also from Mastodon where I rediscovered my affection for DIY site-building using some good old self-taught HTML, which eventually led to the creation of my recent static site, which I also unfortunately had to give up.
So for those of you who've kept up with me all these years since 2008, thank you so, so much for your dedication and especially your patience, slogging through my back list with all the highs and lows of my writing. It's absolutely humbling knowing someone out there is willing to take a chance on me, and I'll forever be grateful to all of you. Thank you.
NEWEST RELEASE
As with the other sequels to the five main books of the series, The Dubious Commode clocks in at 50K words and is priced at 99 cents for the e-book and $9.00 USD for the print book. It also has its own gallery page set up with more fun stuff for visitors to check out.
Since this is a loving farewell to some of my favorite characters to write (admittedly, this is also my absolute favorite series to write, hands down), I'd like to thank everyone who stuck with the books from start to finish, and I do hope you enjoy this final title.
RECENT RELEASE
This is a contemporary novella that's my own play on Greek Mythology, and it's also a romantic comedy. I figured it's time to lighten the mood a little following four gothic horror / gothic romance books that are pretty dramatic and serious. It's my plan to bring in more humorous stuff down the line for variety.
Also for more fun tidbits about the book, check out its gallery page over here. Lots of stuff about inspiration and other things involved in the writing of this book can be had.
You can go here for the book blurb and links to different bookstores. It's 99 cents in e-book format and $9 USD for print. It's also worth noting that the publication date has been bumped up from April 1 to March 1.
PUBLISHING CALENDAR
The image below showcases my planned releases for 2024. If you've visited my site before, you'll see a change in the release dates. My original plan to settle down to a more comfortable schedule of a five- to six-month publishing calendar has all been shot to hell, thanks to a sudden (unexpected, yes, but certainly very welcome) surge of energy and a positive view of the future.

Naturally, this will also affect the calendar for 2025, and I'll be posting that here eventually though updates on that will be posted at my blog. At the moment, I'm looking at the following sequence for 2025 -- that is if my current energy and inspiration levels hold. It's safe to say this will be tweaked as I go along, but as a bit of a snapshot, this is what I have planned:

There are no projected dates, obvs, and those will be updated the closer we get to the end of this year.
For 2026, this is what I'm looking at with the same caveats noted for 2025. Any changes, naturally, will be shared on my main blog:
