Dear Readers,
First and
foremost – no, I haven’t fallen off the face of the earth! 😊
And I’m so sorry for the lack of posts & updates on social media these past
few months. In a nutshell, 2020 sucks! 😅 Who would’ve ever imagined any of this?
But to make a long story short…
As you all
know, I was hoping to complete book #3 in Pantheon of Dragons in 2020, followed
by Blood Harvest, book #12 in the Blood Curse Series, hopefully in the same
year. Then Covid-19 hit, and it was an absolute chaotic whirlwind: kids suddenly home
from college (including my disabled son who lost ALL his services & activities
overnight), family & friends affected & quarantined (including two
back-to-back 14-day quarantines in my own household), getting sick myself (not
with Covid, thank goodness!) while adapting to this strange new world. To put
it bluntly, I felt like I was catapulted back to Little House on the Prairie:
cook, clean, wash, sanitize, look after family… a new reality, dawn to dusk. Needless to
say, there’s nothing like being faced with the immediate health and well being
of one’s loved ones to reorder one’s priorities. As dedicated as I am to my
work – and most especially to all of you! – I had to refocus my days and
my energy on the immediate challenges in front of me and just getting through
the madness.
And there
went my “New Release” schedule!
That said, I
am slowly getting back into the swing of things – well, at least we have
established a somewhat new normal – and I wanted to reach out to all of you with this
update: 2020 has been replaced with 2021. ☹ It is
now my goal to try and hit the first quarter of next year, and in doing so, I
may reverse the order of those two releases – we will see how each continues to
progress. Just rest assured, I have not forgotten you, and I have not forgotten
the books! 😊 Most of all, thank you for your
patience, support, and all the emails & messages – I greatly appreciate each one!
Finally, for
those of you asking if I have anything else for you to read in the meantime, I would humbly re-post my FULL LIST of published books and remind you there are 13 released in the Blood Curse Series (including 2 short-stories),
2 released in Pantheon of Dragons, and Dragons Realm
Saga is now complete, including the original & sequel: All are listed in reading order below. 💗
Thank you so
much for your kindness & understanding, and once again, apologies for the
belated update!
Please
stay safe…
Tessa

I'm so sorry to hear about the illnesses that have hit your family! But, I'm also so glad to hear that all is as well as can be in these strange times! I can't wait to read the next books you throw our way (no matter how long it takes)! More time to think & write, means new ideas and new twists for the story and I'm (im)patiently waiting to read what you've come up with! Stay safe & well.
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you so very much! Such crazy times indeed! :-)

ReplyDeleteAw, thank you so much. I feel so truly blessed to have readers & friends like you! You stay safe as well.
DeleteI'm so sorry to hear about all that your family is going thru. And as much as I missed seeing you on social media, family always comes first. I am glad to hear things are getting somewhat back to a "new normal". I so miss being in the "worlds" of your books, but take the time you need for what is most important. Always looking forward to your next amazing book, whenever that may be. Until then, I'm looking forward to a re-read of the Blood Curse series first. Take me away to Dark Moon Vale....
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, really appreciate it! You stay safe as well. :-)
DeleteI know how hard it is when your life is turned upside down! I have been lucky that my special needs son didn't lose any of his benefits, but I've spent 6 months arguing with insurance about his coverage! I'm looking forward to your new books, and will still be here when you're done. stay healthy, and don't sweat the small stuff. Your fans/readers are waiting patiently!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you, 2020 sucks. I am hoping 2021 will be a better one for us all. I am so thankful that you and your family have avoided the virus. All of the chaos this has caused has just blown my mind. I'm so sorry that your family has felt this chaos firsthand. Just remember that your fans are with you and we look forward to future books. In the meantime, take care of you and yours.... and type faster! Ha!

ReplyDeleteoh boy, let me try this again. I am always late, I tease all the time I will be late for my own funeral. Nonetheless, I still wanted to thank you for the update. I had been wondering about you. As someone else has said, family first. We will be here waiting for when you are able to bless us with more of our favorite worlds at Dark Moon Vale and more! In the meantime it is time for a re-read and to finally get those Dragon books read.
ReplyDeleteI am done the blood curse books and on to the pantheon books. I can’t wait for the book on ghost. I drive a lot with my job and love listening to them on audible. Love your writing
