Getting Closer

 Quick Update . . .

I got my copyright back two weeks earlier than I expected! Unfortunately, I was in the midst of re-reading my book and taking notes for book 2. I finally wrapped that up the other day and have started playing around with covers on KDP. The cover I originally created doesn't seem to mesh with their cover tool. So, I'll be spending Saturday working on said cover. Once the cover's done, I'll upload the book itself and, hopefully, give you all a release date!

Also, if you'd like a quick peek at the book, you can find the prologue pinned to the top of my Instagram page. For Facebook and Twitter, see my post from July 24.

Okay, I loved this book!😍I really need a sequel, but the cover says "a novel." Guys, I need to know what happens in the future!!😭Maybe if enough of us ask for a sequel, we'll get one.

Enjoying . . .

Hairpins! My hair is finally long enough to put in a decent bun. It always makes me nervous using bobby pins. I don't want to damage the hair I've worked so hard to grow. The open shape feels a lot more gentle. It took some practice, but I really like using them.

Blessings,
