Dearest Reader,

​

Immortal Mine has been sent to beta readers for insight (and to check for typos and the like). Once the input arrives and I've had a chat with my editor, we'll tidy everything up before the book hits FLE (final line edits). If things go as planned, a release date is forthcoming. I'm aiming for September/October, but I am also working with someone who has worked in the industry for decades, meaning she has a fully booked schedule. She's doing me a solid by taking me on as a client, and I trust her instincts more than mine. Therefore, I'm allotting as much time as she needs to make the book the best it can be. I'm honestly grateful to have a pro working alongside me (since I haven't had one in a very long time), and her insight and suggestions have made the book (which is much longer) far better than it started.

​

We lost Daisy Mae this month. I knew the time was drawing near, but one can never be ready for such a loss.

 

I can only state she's no longer in pain, which provides comfort. Even though I miss her so much, I can't breathe most of the time.

​

Many thanks to everyone who has kept the fire burning. I'd move faster, but it's hard to find time between work and everything else.

​

Mucho love and hugs,
