Monday is Remembrance Day and I want to make that the sole subject of this post. So I’m not going to say anything further and let Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrea take it from here.
 
In Flanders Fields
 
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
  That mark our place; and in the sky
  The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
  Loved and were loved, and now we lie
      In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
  The torch; be yours to hold it high.
  If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
      In Flanders fields.

It has been a crazy month! From family and dear friends coming in from out of town, three books signings, Thanksgiving, getting final edits completed for The Gift book 2 in The Blood Magic series, completing first round edits of MD3 and sending it out to my editor, the continued writing of MD5, and finally sitting down with a fellow author and dear friend to discuss the possibilities of a collaboration in 2020!

If you’re thinking this must be at least several months’ worth of activities, you’d be wrong. Sadly, this was all from October 1-23rd! It’s no wonder when I hit send on my email on the 23rd to my editor my body basically said, “I’m done.” Within two hours of that email going out I was coughing up a lung.

So I actually went from being behind to catching up, then being ahead and now behind once again. Can’t seem to catch a break I’m afraid, but that’s okay because only good things are going to come from all my hard work!
My book signings went extremely well at all three locations and I was asked back for the release of the print versions of The Gift. I spoke with some lovely people heard some interesting stories and met a young woman who was just starting out on her own writing journey.

I’m exhausted, but still highly motivated and ready to push forward! I’m excited about next month’s release and the upcoming rapid re-release of the Mechanical Dragon series in January!

I have much to do so I will be on my way!
