Life update:

I've not been on here much at all lately. Slowly, slowly chugging away at the writing. 
My work was taking a lot out of me, more than it should have given the hours I work.

I've left the job, finished last week. I've had a little time to relax. All these pictures are from the walk I took yesterday. (I did plenty of working at work, so I'm having to think about exercise again.)

I'm still busy. There's always things to see and in August I started an online course. Soon I will have a certificate in teaching English (to speakers of other languages).

Leaving work is not going to make me more active online. Of things work out, I'll be teaching on an island somewhere (I know where) and though I will give updates, the internet access is limited.
So that'll be fun and extremely challenging.

When the last time you got to dress up fancy?

I heard something about this week being #internationalprincessweek and though I want trying to dress up as a princess, the dress is shiny enough.
I made this dress for a Shakespeare Ball put on by fellow students in my historical dance class.
I put a lot of work into the underlays, which left me with barely enough time for the visible dress. Safety pins however are a costumers best friend and I ended up with something good enough for the night. I plan to make a new overskirt and and some sleeves before the next event I wear it to, but for now I'm going to take a break and get back to writing on writing.

There is a new book from @author.hope.ann! I had almost forgotten how much I love Hope's books, but just reading the blurb was enough to remind me. It sounds awesome.

Lillian helps Followers. 

Royce hunts them.

With the appearance of a mysterious stranger who can spin heat into rain, their worlds collide in a storm of treason, local laws, and buried pasts that threaten to destroy them both.

And a teaser: 
All the gold in the world won’t help Lillian and her city as they struggle against a drought. Rain on the other hand…

Rain might be worth more than blood.

Happy Birthday to Kendra E. Ardnek @fairytalearista, an awesome human and the creator of I've of my favourite fictional multiverses. May this be a year of more joy and less sorrow.

Now the best thing you can do for an authors birthday is buy their books. Kendra however had some of her books on sale, for FREE, from now until the 9th. 
(For Kindle Unlimited readers, Kendra's books are always available to you.)
 Included are ROSE PETALS AND SNOWFLAKES (Austen Fairy Tale #1), THE SEVEN DRAWERS (standalone and adorable), SEW, IT'S A QUEST and THE MERCHANT OF MENACE (Bookania Quests, the first book and the most recent one, many puns), and WATER PRINCESS, FIRE PRINCE (Rizkaland Legends #1, portal fantasy, prophecy, redheads, and quotes from classics). Also, THE WORTH OF A KING (standalone, probably the most traditional fantasy of Kendra's books, but also Rizkaland adjacent) is free the 8th and the 9th. Don't miss out. 

I already own her books as ebooks, but as soon as my mail comes my physical collection will be a little closer to complete. (The other four books I own were hidden under the light blue fabric.)

#nanowrimo2021 begins

Sort of. I'm not exactly attempting Nanowrimo, but I do have goals that involve writing a new book this month. Beginning it that is. I don't know when I'll get to the end.

What are your November plans? Or do you not really make plans and just freewheel madly through life? That can work too sometimes. 

More on the plans and what adversely I'm writing is over on my blog. 

Random fact: I don't really drink tea, but Taiwan milk tea is a different story. Probably because it's cold and has sugar.

I promise the random lace is relevant. Sort of. There's some mention of sewing in this book?

Yes, I'm making excuses, but the lace had just come in the mail and after I washed it, it was so delightfully messy. It's all ironed now. 

As Long As We Live by @cortneymanningauthor is a lovely retelling of Snow White and Rose Red that sadly fell victim to my reading slump. However, it was also the book that helped me get out. 

You should read it (probably, I don't want to tell people what to do, especially when it comes to their reading taste.) Of you want to know why you should read it, click the link in my profile to go to my review and find the excuses I have for not having reviewed it already.

Nadine Brandes has a new book coming next year. It's called Wishtress. Not Wishtrees, which is what I first read it about. Tress, like long hair and females, not trees with leaves. 

It's been quite a while since I read any of Nadine's books, do I'm excited to see what this one is about.

The lovely graphic was designed by @meganmcculloughbooks 

Nadine is @nadinebrandes

Happy Book Birthday to Runaway Lyrics by C. O. Bonham. 

I have an interview of one of the characters over on my blog (link in profile) asking with directions to the rest of the blog tour. It's probably the character on the corner, but hard to be certain as this book features identical twins.
