Well, hello again, y’all! It’s been a long time since my last blog post and even longer since my last email. I have a lot to tell y’all as life has been pretty overwhelming recently.

As y’all should know, I suffer from anxiety and depression. With the COVID-19 pandemic going on, I’ve been really anxious about leaving the house at all and stressed about my family members possibly being infected. Though we all wear masks, wash our hands, etc., I still obsessively worry about it. Even after receiving the full vaccine, I still worry about my own safety as well as others. That being said, I haven’t had the energy nor the drive to really write or work on A Rumble of Earth.

Before you raise your pitchforks and demand my head, let me explain.

While I haven’t been able to work on the third and final installment of Luce’s journey, I have been working on other minor projects like Luce’s past, which I hope I’ll be able to publish either on this website or as a novella on Amazon. I have also been brainstorming ideas for writing a short story about the Revealing, but that’s still up in the air and I’m not sure whether I’ll do that or not. My hope is to publish this prequel about Luce’s past in the summer sometime, but that’s relative to change. As for A Rumble of Earth, I want to try and work on it throughout this year—maybe even publish it in December before the end of 2021. I know that’s not what y’all wanna hear, but it was a hard decision and one that I needed to make because I’ve been overly stressed about not delivering the best content y’all deserve. I hope y’all understand and I apologize that it’ll take so long to release the third book.

I have been working on some other projects as well such as a new series that I hope to release also sometime in the summer or fall. With that being said, I’m trying to do my best and work hard to create great content for all of you. I’ve been suffering a lot from depression and a lack of energy/concentration/drive to work, which, believe me, is frustrating. Whenever I sit at my desk and try to work on a writing project, the ideas just stop flowing in my head and I’m left staring at the screen wondering, “What the hell do I do?” All of my characters that normally don’t shut up, are suddenly silent and it’s really affected my ability to create.

Believe me when I say this: I really don’t want to disappoint y’all or stop writing stories for y’all to read. All I can do is keep working and pushing through the lack of energy, the depression and anxiety, and the stress. As for my social media life, I want to apologize and tell y’all that I’m normally not the best at remembering to post things, but I’m trying to do better about it. I’m planning on setting a reminder in my phone to post at least once or twice a week, which includes Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and here on my website. Please expect an email from me sometime next month—I hope to have content that y’all will enjoy/look forward to in the future.

Thank y’all for your understanding and I hope y’all are staying safe and healthy out there!
