Deep into summer...

Dear Readers,

Summer, in all her sweltering glory, has descended like a whirlwind. I had such noble intentions—to make swift work of edits, complete a few new chapters, and glide effortlessly into a re-release schedule. But life had other plans.

This season brought a lot of emotions: a long-awaited vacation (in a place with just enough Wi-Fi to tease), the joy of a family wedding, and the heartbrea
