Hello, April!

I shouldn't do this, but Q2 2023 is...

Heyya, lovelies.

How have you been as of late? What are your plans now that spring is here? Let me know in the comments.

Things have been really busy as of late. I’ve been meaning to do a vlog over my YouTube channel about it, and I thought I would get far more done with vlog making over Spring Break this week. Alas, such is turning out not to be the case. Therefore, I will share the vlog next week and combine it with a few other things.

A few updates, though.

Thank you to everyone for helping to continually fund the Kickstarter campaign for The Merna Annals (Book 1): Bound by Fate and Blood. We’re cruising toward $1,000 in funding—which will unlock dice for everyone involved!

During HeartBreathings Writing Community’s April 2023 Double Down Day today, I’m catching up on many things. This newsletter is one of them, of course. The aforementioned vlog is on that list, along with a lot of client work and preparations for the second quarter of 2023. I’m also kicking off my project for Camp NaNoWriMo.

I’ve been both longing and dreading to tell Harumi and GorGor’s tale. At this point, they’ve been smitten with each other and dating for most of the books, but her opening chapter dives right into the emotional side of things. In many ways, it mirrors the tension from Book 1 and Nephtyri’s opening point of view, and all I can think is how the story’s coming full circle.

How I won’t be able to write it once it’s all said, done, rapid released, and in your lovely hands. To quote The Legend of Zelda, “It’s a secret to everybody.”

Care to join for the ride, lovelies? I am so grateful you’ve decided to keep with us for the long haul. By the way… real fans know, I love food. If you want to geek out about food and more, visit with me Sunday, April 2 at 1 pm Eastern or on the replay for a chat with other authors about food and more?

I can hardly wait to share more with you… care to join for the ride?

Take care of yourself, and blessings be,

Jenna O’Malley
