I’m using my phone for this for the first time, so bear with me – WordPress isn’t working on my laptop for some reason. Anyway, as of this week, we have reliable broadband again which means less radio silence from me.
Updates: I thought Death is a Gift would be my next release, but due to one editor bringing forward our schedule, and the other falling behind, Purity is up first. Right now, I’ve no idea when DIAG will be ready. 
Still, expect to see Purity on Amazon, Kobo, & Smashwords early next week – B&N, Apple, etc. will probably take a couple of weeks. I’ll also do a complete Cursed collection option soon, and paperbacks for both soon.
Taste is heading to its editor next week, so I’m hoping for a March release. Traitor, the final Ava Delaney book, should then be available around June if all goes to plan. I will likely have another release in the summer, but I’m not certain which book I’ll choose for that yet.
I’ve been ridiculously busy since October, but I didn’t write much in January (stoopid editing), so I’m looking forward to that changing this month.
I have some writing related stuff on my mind, but it’ll keep until the big anniversary post next month.
Non-updatey stuff: We are probably the only place not to get snow. We got a little flooding, but no snow. We also got an unwelcome mouse, so we’ve stolen a grumpy cat and are hoping she doesn’t assassinate our dogs. (She’s gone into super-stealth mode, so anything can happen). My big scary guard dog is afraid of cats. She’s also afraid of shadows, bin collectors, closed doors, and steam from the kettle, so I may as well put up a Beware of the Cat sign.
You’ve been a busy bee.
I have a new puppy who loves to chase the cats. They run every time we let him in the house. I keep wondering what will happen if he actually catches one….
You have another pup? I doubt the cats will let him catch up – if he did, he’d probably get a scratch of a claw and learn his lesson until next time.
Hi,
Hope all is well with you and your family. Happy and healthy New Year. Wish you luck with your “guard” cat! You are so funny!
Looking forward to your new books this year. Please stay well.

Thanks, Linda-Rose – same to you and yours. She’s a ninja cat at the moment. I know she’s around somewhere, but I never see her.
Better not too? This way she will not bother the dogs, you or your family. Only the mice!
Me and the kids are desperate to pet her, even though we know she’s not a friendly cat.
She peeked out of her hiding place this morning, let my partner pet her, took one look at the kids, and legged it back under the cooker. They were a little disappointed. But we woke up to our first snow this morning, so they’re all in a great mood now.
Ahh cats. Got to love them! I actually got woken up in the middlw of the night by a huge thud…turns out it was my cat running into a wall, for the FORTH time this week-_-
Haha! My big oaf dog is the one who runs into walls in this house.
Haha. I dont know what humans would do without pets. They complete us,
Lol. They surely do.
We have fallen in love with the cat. Dangerous times…
Hahaha. I bet
My cat’s new thing(his name is Mr.Nilson from pipi longstockins) is he will sit practically on my head when I’m in my bed. And it seems he layd perfectly to where his tail sweeps right over my face.
Aw, Elise, that reminds me of our old cat. When he was a kitten, he would sleep on my chest, then as he got bigger, he moved to the back of my neck and eventually became a pain in the arse with that tail. Lol.
The cat’s gone home. Kinda miss her. Maybe. Just a tiny bit.
Aw! Thatssweet! Hahayea i bet
You have a work ethic that I am envious of! How have you got so much done in so little time? I tip my hat to you, well done!

P.S. What is your secret????
I didn’t have internet. Lol.
It feels like I haven’t gotten anything done! Everything took a lot longer than it seems. Most of the books I mentioned in that post were written between the summer and October.
