I know my readers were expecting DELAY OF GAME months ago, and I apologize for the "delay". (no pun intended)
I won't get into details, but first and foremost I experienced my first severe bout of writer's block. The entirety of my writing career I have never had it like this. Add in some health issues I was attending to, things I had put off long enough.
And then life sort of consumed me - which was so not cool.
I was in a weird place. My writing was nonexistent and I wasn't keeping up on any of my social media.
The guilt I have felt letting my readers down surpassed any pain from my health issues. But the writers block thwarted me at all turns.
I had hoped the new year would bring much needed relief, but life isn't letting up. It's difficult to be creative when you're depressed. However I think I am now in a place mentally where I feel the need to write, regardless of outside issues.
I'm not posting this for sympathy or attention. I am posting it to let you guys know what has been going on. There's nothing more frustrating than looking forward to a book, then the book and the author disappearing. And I wanted to address that for my loyal readers.
I didn't want to let any of you down. I promise the book is coming. I just don't know when yet. I do have a sign up sheet for anyone who wants the news first when I set a pre-order date.
I'm trying to get back into Instagram, TikTok, and my Facebook group. And I'm trying to get back into eating healthier, but everyone knows when you don't feel emotionally okay, eating healthy and exercising is the LAST thing you want to do (at least for me).
Sometimes you have to take a step back and take care of yourself.
I'm working on it. I'm working on me. And I'm trying to get words on paper.
Did you know that in addition to my spicy hockey romance series, I also have a sweet low heat romance series called The Holiday Series.
The first in the series is a collaboration between myself and author Mary Smith- Wanted: Boyfriend for Christmas. The next three are solo books.
This series is different than The Renegades. First, there's no hockey. And like I said, it's a sweet low heat romance. Slow burn. College romance.
I love my Renegades, but I am also a Hallmark movie fanatic. I love the cute and mostly cliche stories. Suddenly I was inspired to write my own holiday themed Hallmark type romance. It all started with Wanted: Boyfriend for Christmas. It was so much fun to write, and I fell in love with the roommate Harley. I needed to tell her story!
Harley's story revolves around Valentine's Day but can be read any time of the year.
And while this series may not be what you are used to from me, if you're a cute holiday television movie fan, I hope you'll check it out.
Hey Folks! I just wanted to let you all know that I had to postpone the release of Delay of Game. Logan's book was supposed to come out in July. Sadly, the past two months have been busy and left me with no creative juices to pour into my writing. Plain English? I've been left over-stressed and tired, lol.
I didn't want to postpone Logan, but it is what it is. My hope is moving it back one month will give me enough time to tell his story - stay tuned here or my newsletter to stay up to date on this book and any future delays.
I'm sad it came to this, but Logan deserves all my energy, time, and focus.
So the wait may be a little longer, but I promise it will be worth it!
Hope you all are doing well. Talk soon!
