#am writing
Writing a conversation between Isolda and Henry/Thadeus where he explains WHY he gave her his middle name instead of his given name when they first meet. It’s taking longer than I expected.
I think for the second draft of Roman and Isolda I am going to have to add some non-conversation content because right now my book is about 90-95% conversation. And readers might find that boring after awhile. So that might mean I will have to add more POVs. But that would also probably annoy readers not to mention confuse them. HHHhhhmmm
Also, I am 12 pages into my The Bare Witch Project Review that I started two years ago and am only on chapter 2. Maybe I should post this in sections….
I finally reached 100-pages for Roman and Isolda. My story is coming along slowly but surely. I hope to have this novel finished by the end of the year so I can start getting it ready for a 2023 release.
I will eventually reach 100 pages for Roman and Isolda. Hopefully it will be before this month ends. But at the rate things are going probably not. Either way, wish me luck and speedy typing.
So I finally wrote the first kiss scene in Roman and Isolda which means I can get to the chapter where I introduce the wannabe love interest.
Also, I found the book review I was working on ages ago and hope to start working on it again over the weekend.
So, I finally got around to updating my website. I hope to make it a regular thing and will probably work on making it look more professional in the coming months.

I also think I am going to start a patreon for my book/Murder, She Wrote review series, assuming of course I can make updating them a regular event. So I need to figure out some good tier rewards for patrons. Any thoughts?
I also am kinda annoyed that I didn’t take better notes on what I want to happen in my Chrysalis and Whips series, in regards to Vergil and Falena’s relationship. I remember how I want it to go in the first and second but I can’t for the life of me remember what I was going to have happen in the third book.
Speaking of Chrysalis and Whips I need to go back to my most recent chapter and change the location from a restaurant to the club/dungeon.
I have a BDSM interview list and am wondering if anyone would be interested in answering them so I can get a better idea on how people experience the lifestyle. Does that explanation make sense? Anyways, if you are interested in answering the questions please drop me a line.
I am still working on Roman and Isolda and still hope to have it out later this year or middle of next year.
Also, just a remember but Red is available in paperback not just ebook now. And the audiobook will be available later on this year.
And An Icy Road to a Warm Heart is available in ebook, paperback, and audiobook
So, last night I finally managed to finish the conversation that was giving me such an issue, thanks to Tori, and now I just need to close out the chapter and move on to the chapter 12. Woot. Sadly I didn’t meet my page goal last month because of the above mentioned conversation. So this month I am hoping to get past the 100 page mark.
For some reason, I am trying to decide if I should have Roman use the Spanish word for brother since he uses the Spanish words for the rest of his family. I don’t know why this is such an issue for me.
So what do people think of including non-English words in a mainly English story? Like having a Hispanic-American referring to his father as papi?
I hope to have at least 100 pages of the book written by the end of January.
The more I write the more characters I add.
If I am going to kill off a character I need to include him in more scenes to make his death more impactful. Hopefully, it’s a gut wrenching surprise when it happens.
I am hoping this book is at minimum 200 pages long but considering I still have a lot of ground to cover it might be longer, which I wouldn’t mind.
You and your MC preparing for the final push:
The next chapter drops tomorrow…
Fantasy lovers, rejoice! The next chapter of Demon Age: Will of Shadows launches tomorrow.
