To my faithful readers,

I feel like I should thank you all for your patience with me. I know that you’ve all been waiting with baited breath for Veiled Mystery‘s release. I have been trying to work on it, I honestly have.

However, for the past year or more, like Brenna, I have been battling demons. Unlike Brenna, however, I can’t just beat my demons with a sword or a dragon. I have, in all honesty, been battling these demons for many years, but in the past year they’ve become far worse.

You see, I have been battling depression, anxiety, and PTSD. I was first diagnosed back in 2011. It was then that I tried medication for these issues the first time, unsuccessfully. The side effects at the time caused me to fear the medications, and to avoid seeking treatment a second time. Instead, I worked with therapy and going down the spiritual path.

I wrote Mystery when things weren’t too bad. I was in a fairly decent place in my head at the time. Since then, though, things have gotten bad.

I’ve gone through and abusive marriage, and gotten out, and am now working on healing from that. I am now facing my depression head-on, and working to get my head straight. Due to the issues, though, I’ve had a very difficult time getting back to Mystery. I appreciate your patience with me, and thank you all for still waiting and supporting me in this time.

In the meantime, you can feel free to join me over at The Yarn Therapy Project, and know that I’m slowly working on Veiled Mystery as well as Finding the In-Between.

I’m still here, my friends, and I’m still fighting.

Yours faithfully,

Janice
