I’m sure it’s going to be a process to figure out the best way to move forward. I suspect I’m in burnout, or maybe heading into it. It’s hard to pinpoint these things at times. I know I need to slow down. You can’t rush your way out of burnout. Years ago, a writer friend warned me to take a break, and I didn’t listen. That led to a major crash that resulted in me not being able to write anything for about a year. I don’t want to lose my creative spark again.

Okay, so let’s get to what I’m doing.

I have dissolved the Oregon Series.

As a result, The Wilderness Bride is officially a stand alone.

I still need to update the paperback to reflect this, but by now, the ebooks are done. I did update the audiobook on Google Play and have asked for the update to be done on Apple for that audiobook.

I will be revising The Preacher’s Wife now to be a stand alone. So the tie-ins I was working into the story will be removed. I have not had time to update the cover, but that is on my list of things to do.

(Cover will be updated)

The easier fix was to make Masquerade Bride a stand alone.

All I had to do there was modify the cover.

If I can think of a good tagline to fit this story, I’ll replace “A Fantasy Romance” with the tagline. I would prefer a tagline, but these things aren’t my strength. Yeah, I know. I can write an entire book without too many issues, but you give me a phrase to sum the book up, and I struggle with coming up the right words. Being able to come up with pithy statements is definitely a talent.

There are two series I will be keeping.

One is Love Under Desert Skies. That one is too intertwined. You need the books together, and they need to be read in order to fully appreciate them. (I don’t have a cover for Book 3 yet, and I don’t know when I’ll be writing it. I sense that I need to start the story after the group has left Quartzsite. I just don’t know where.

The other is Marriage by Chemistry Series. I want to see this love potion experiment through, and that’s the main purpose of the series. I’m not sure how many books will be in this series. Right now, I only have two. I have no idea how long this will be, but I’ll see it through to the end.

Smashwords has merged with Draft2Digital. The process of merging my books from my author Smashwords dashboard to my author Draft2Digital dashboard. My books are still on the Smashwords store. The author dashboard is basically where authors manage their books. So if I need to do a cover change or some other update, I go into Draft2Digital (instead of Smashwords like I used to).

Now that my books can be managed on the Draft2Digital dashboard, I can get my older books in audio at Apple.

I have the Marriage by Scandal Series now available in audio format on Apple.

I will be working on other books as we go along. I have probably close to 70 that need to be moved into audio on Apple. This is going to take time to go through. Having a big catalogue is nice in some ways but time consuming in others.
