New release and the flu

Some good news! My new book It Feels Like Dancing is now available on Smashwords and Amazon.

This release was despite having three weeks of illness running through my house. My kids all got the flu and my husband got bronchitis. I had a four day cold at the beginning of it all and another at the end to bookend the wave of illness.

In spite of all that, I managed to contact my editor and get It Feels Like Dancing edited, revised, and a final edit. Once that was done, I agonized over the cover. My ideas were all over the map but the images I found just didn't quite fit. I finally found something that I felt emphasized the focal point of the book, simple and elegant.



Other than my revisions I've been working on my sci-fi novel a bit. I have three unfinished erotica pieces I just haven't put the time into. I'd like to change that this week now that the kids are all back to school and I have 3 mornings a week to myself. The other two I go to school and work on my own homework.

Within the last month or so I also started another new hobby- fish keeping. I have two small tanks running and plan to start a third, much larger tank in a few months once I have a little more experience. I have been reading a lot online and watching a lot of YouTube videos on fish keeping in the past month or so. I learned about fishless cycling, substrates, and plants. So I did a fishless cycle, I used special substrates for each tank, and I am using live plants. My chemical testing is on point and I have one tank fully stocked as of this week. I'm waiting for a seller to contact me about some shrimp tomorrow for my other tank. If that falls through- I'm going to give e-Bay a try.
