If you ever see me without several projects going at once, I'm probably nursing the muse back to health after he's been through some things lol Usually one too many projects and not enough rest!  2023 kicked my ass, and things had been rough for a while. I was handling a lot on my own and it wasn't until I got a few things off my plate that I remembered who I am and what I'm capable of. Like most authors, I've had my fair share of crappy jobs, I've tried out different things, but I always come back to needing to write like my life depends on it. Because it does. Giving voice to so many different characters, building worlds, exploring love and friendship and found family is at the core of every story I write. I love sharing these stories with readers, but as I've said before, staying true to the story always comes first. If I feel I can't give a story my all, I'd rather shelve it for the moment and come back to it when I'm in a better place to do
