My Circus, My Monkeys, My Universe of Melodramatic Chaos

You've heard the phrase, 'not my circus, not my monkeys'? Well, this is definitely my circus and I wrangle all the monkeys here. In my ever-expanding universe of demanding performers, I may be the ringmaster, but it's the sarcastic simians who run the show. I don't even pretend to know what's going on.

And that's why I'm here with a shiny, redesigned website and yes, a new series on the horizon. Web design isn't particularly hard on its own, but coupled with my perfectionism and exacting creative aesthetic, this endeavor has me exhausted.

In case you weren't aware, this circus is a one-woman show. But it's a labor of love. Because I adore my characters and their stories and if I didn't give them an outlet, they'd drive me nuts. So I might as well share the chaos.

Asteria is the first book in my new Galactic Explorers series. I'm not entirely sure where this series came from beyond my desire to write something science-fiction-y. It's turned out surprisingly easy to write, with ideas flowing out of my head like they were meant to be written down. Honestly, this is the first series with which I've experienced that feeling. It's kinda weird.

And yes, this is definitely a series. Book two is already written. Book three has a cover and I'm getting ready to outline it. Book four has a premise. Beyond that, I'm not sure yet. But the ideas are there. 2023 will be an interesting year. Stay tuned.
