The turkey is in the oven, the table is set, and the kiddos are coloring place cards. Now I have my first few moments of peace since early this morning. So, first things first, Happy Thanksgiving!

If you need a gravy recipe for later today, I have a great one! Robin’s Easy Gravy. 

Second, here’s a little update. It’s been…well, a really, really long time. Bad writer, I know (shuffles feet and looks down).

Life has been extraordinarily busy this school year. I’m still teaching high school and college classes in American and British Literature. Additionally, who knew that first and third graders would have so much homework? I’m spending my afternoons I am working on some projects, just slowly. I’m afraid I’ve missed my deadline for Light & Shadows: Watcher Series Shorts and Extras. Being late kills the perfectionist in me (Argh!).  I did complete a 25 page prequel extra with Joshua in Romania with Gabriel, Kez, and Samael. The book is still in the works, it will be out sometime in 2017. I may add a little post-The Fallen extra for those of you who have been asking. If you are dying to have something included, send requests through my contact page.

I am also working on my second Prompt Me book. Here is the cover reveal!

In addition to the extras, I am working on a contemporary romantic comedy with my BWFF (Best Writer Friend Forever), Tamar Hela. It has been super fun writing in a different genre. Especially, since I get to embrace witty banter in a whole new way. We have been cracking each other up–hopefully everyone else will enjoy it too.

Three new photo writing prompts will be posted tomorrow. The theme is Land & Sea! So keep posted, and get ready to get your write on. 😉

I hope everyone has a great start to the holiday season. Blessings!
