Writing Update

Before I dive into what’s been happening on the writing front, I want to offer my sincerest apologies for the lack of updates since April. After Unbound was published, I took a long-awaited (and much-needed) vacation in Hawaii. It was everything I hoped it would be—restful, relaxing, and exactly the break I needed.

But even while I was away, my mind kept drifting back to writing. I found myself mentally preparing for the next chapter—new ideas swirling, characters beginning to take shape. I even reread Unbound with a more critical lens, seeing it not only as a completed work but as a foundation for growth.

Once I returned from Hawaii, I jumped straight into my next project. And truthfully? I’m completely immersed. The story is vivid in my mind, and the characters already feel like old friends. All I’ll say for now is that it’s historical LGBTQ western set in 1876 Kansas—and it’s a story that’s captured my heart.

Right now, I’m deep in the editing phase. I’ve done a great deal of historical research to ensure that the setting feels authentic and true to the time period. I never imagined myself writing something like this, but the process has been incredibly rewarding—and yes, I’m proud of how it’s coming together.

As promised, I’ll also be returning to my blog to share more behind-the-scenes reflections on Unbound, along with posts about my current project and writing practices. I’m committed to keeping the updates coming more regularly on a monthly basis from here on out.

Until then—stay tuned. More to come.
