I've been editing the series again, but I'm not sure I'm be posting the new edits. There's too many changes and I'm thinking or querying for an agent this year so I want to focus more toward that then posting here.... Just know there's a better version of The Wildlands series out there somewhere! And I'm hoping to get back to some of my other books soon

I finally finished editing Across the Wildlands!!! I smoothed out some plot holes and typos. If there's anymore edits in the future, I'm keeping them to my manuscript... that was too much work *sigh* Next step is to try and query. But, the edits must go on for the next books!!

I've been really disappointed in WP lately... I thought it was really coming around in  terms of promotion for smaller authors and different genres, yet here we are back at it with the same thing. I'm going to try and get back into reading again with some of you guys on here, please comment so we can catch up! I'd love to get back into the community that I fell out of. 
          
          Meanwhile, I'm going to try and work hard to edit The Wildlands series. Eventually I'd like to try and query and publish, so we'll see where that goes!

@pictureXthisX Thanks!!! It's still the launch month for the first book of my epic series. I've done interviews on a Wired Magazine podcast and on John Scalzi's blog, and a lot of others. I reached out to influencers. My publisher, Podium, has been running ads. I'm dropping off bookmarks at local libraries and bookstores. There is a *lot* going on behind the scenes. Lots of blood, sweat, and tears. Does it lead to more visibility? I have no idea.

Ok, so now that I’m able to update everyone with the news, all of my books will become free to read again on August 22. I’ve made the decision due to multiple reasons I won’t disclose on here, but ultimately I feel that it was the best choice right now and it will give me the chance to make some changes that I’ve been wanting to. I really hope I can move forward with trying to publish on my own soon now that I have some experience under my belt, but we’ll see. I hope everyone’s excited to read the books if you haven’t been able to!!!

There will be some changes coming soon to my books. I can’t really say much about it, but it’s not really for the better nor is it really for the worse. Mostly I’m just very disappointed in how things have turned out, and I am looking forward to being able to put the work in again. Sorry the update is so vague, but as my radio silence has shown I really haven’t been very excited about this platform as of late so I’m trying to reignite the passion I had before. Once again I feel like it’s me and mine on my team, and my faithful readers and commenters who have always supported me to get me this far. I can’t wait to see what’s next in this journey
