Progress - I'd share a snippet, but I forgot to grab one and already closed the doc...lol...comment if you want a quote from the draft on the next update! :)

March 16th, 2026 here we come!

I am so tired of every bad guy in suspense books being someone one of the characters knows and trust...could we just not. Like, seriously? Can the villain for once be someone they don't know personally? XD

Also, why do the hitmen always stink at their jobs? Like good for the characters, but these guys continue doing the same thing expecting different results...I just think we can do better in the villain department.

Finding this very interesting...how devices affect growing minds is super interesting...I'm looking at this through the eyes of someone who got online access at 17...so, it's very interesting to see how having devices before you are 16 does to your brain.

Shamus...interesting choice in name for the MMC...

I can't tell you how awesome it is to read a book set in Appalachia that is actually realistic! I'm so happy and have been reading so fast!🤣🩵

Tomorrow is release day!

Eek! I've been wanting to read this one and finale snagged a copy on a black friday deal!

I will review this soon...just sticking on the shelf so I don't forget.🤣

So close, yet so far away...lol...audiobook returned to the library, so to the physical book I go. XD

Snippet of the Day! 6 days until release!

"With a sigh, I rose and wandered about the parlor, running my fingers over the spines of the books—new books, with smooth covers and crisp pages, and old tomes, with faded colors and blurred ink. The same thing, and yet different. Both books, but not the same. Much like I was a man, but not the man I was at the start of the war."

I wonder if I can finish listening to this today? Or if I'm going to have to grab my physical copy from the shelf? The audio book is due back at the library sometime today.🤣

How!? How is this going to wrap up in 60 pages! Everything just went from bad to worse!

First line!

The world was still in the early hours of dawn. A chill hung in the air, seeping into my bones as I leaned against the rough dirt wall of the trench. Frederick Walsh, my best mate since we were in short britches, whistled beside me, the familiar tune of “Amazing Grace” drifting into the silent air.

Releasing next week y'all! Just 8 days away!

Somebody tell me the lion part of Lion Warrior is going to become more significant soon...lol...I'm having a hard time believing it will be and that the ending is going to wrap up well...I'm over halfway through and things aren't looking great for the good guys.🫠😬

Left for a short trip and couldn't take my book. *cries* So I started a kindle book from the library and now I'm reading so many books.🤣😭
