Starting a New Year

Dear Reader,

Time seems to be flying lately. It's all I can do to stay on top of life, even as the weather continues to be cold and cruel. If you've been with me for a while you know I'm not a fan of the cold weather, but my family and I have a very fun trip to Disney planned that is helping with my yearly dose of seasonsal depression.

The third book is coming along nicely; I'm about two-thirds of the way through a reread, and it has reinvigorated me to finish -- and kept the wheels oiled for the fourth! I don't think we'll hit the spring release I was hoping for, but I feel as though the books and myself have come such a long way in a short period of time that I'm not upset with taking a little more time.

So here's to near-perfection, Disney trips, and long days on the couch with a second cup of coffee.

Cheers,

Natasha

Season's Greetings

Firstly, I want to thank you all for continuing on this journey with me. When I released The Last Light of Day in 2023, I never thought I would be here, in this moment, continuing to create, to grow, and to glow. And it's because of you, dear reader, that I am successful, and have the ability to do what I love. Not full-time - but maybe, just maybe, soon.

Secondly, happy yule! To all who celebrate and to even those who don't, I'm wishing you well for the next year and beyond.

And finally - I DID IT! I made a blog post every month for a year! I liked this goal. It was achievable in this chaos I call life. I will keep it up for the new year, and add another to boot!

Warm regards, and see you in 2026,

xx Natasha

PS: both The Last Light of Day and Night Ascending will be on sale for Amazon Kindle between December 19th-December 25th! Don't miss out!

Tis The Season

We're rapidly approaching holiday season, and to be honest all I want is a good nap! I am looking forward to spending time with family and filling my days with good cheer.

Work on the third book is slow, but coming along. I'm pausing for a little reread, and they weren't joking when they said the first draft is the roughest! I'm smoothing out a lot, and it has me really interested in the storyline and plot, and hopefully will reinvigorate me to continue to finish. It's already longer than The Last Light of Day and Night Ascending, so I hope you're into thickies! I love a good chonker. I also sent the first chapter out to two of my best beta-readers, but I don't think they've checked their email because I would've heard something by now. ;)

Stay tuned for more updates! I love sharing where I'm at and getting feedback in between.
