Soooo, September

Here we are, ALREADY in September of 2022! How can this be?!

The kid has returned to public school leaving me with four glorious weeks a month trying to re-assemble my life. Allison, Assemble!

Phenix & Fox: Shooting Stars, while published in August, just arrived at my house TODAY! The kid and I saw a final copy of this first run at my brother’s house weeks ago, but because whatever crazy parameters Amazon has set for its authors purchasing author-copies, it took me over two weeks to get my copies!

ALAS. I will not judge, I will NOT judge… I will only improve!

Soooo, September, what is up?

Phenix & Fox — sketches will be highlighted and darkened for print copies, assuming Amazon lets me upload a newer version of the book (SAME edition). From there, the next version will be worked on… mum’s the word on that… hopefully for a fun Christmas activity release! After that, I will happily turn to coloring in the rest of the pictures that are not colored in, fixing whatever remains ill with me that are fixable, all in hopes for a hardback color edition next summer. The kid will help.

While these edits and improvements and additions are occurring, I simultaneously plan on focusing on When Violet Got Bored this month. I would love for a release by Halloween — if not, Thanksgiving will be the goal. Not all of the query requests have come in, but I personally need for this part to be finished! This way, I can focus on Book 2, or heyull, maybe even something new to write about?

Nah. Not me.

Squirrel!

Swellness Vibes — new post out this Sunday, and I plan to blog more, again, potentially finishing this year into next year with another series to write. Last year we focused on color/light therapy.. is there anything you’d like to see me explore?

I’m still doing bodywork for those who know me in that sphere, creating an Autumn yoga video, and also working on getting a podcast produced… maybe a couple of episodes before the end of the year???? Or ready for next year??? I can’t wait to see where this swellness vibed podcast takes us!

FROM MY HEART SPACE — thank you so much to those who have supported my writing journey with a purchase of Phenix & Fox, and especially to those who have written reviews. WOW! You’re amazing. My kid and I are in awe of your actions.

I’d also like to thank those who take the time to skim my (many) blogs. I can’t believe there’s anyone out there willing to follow these keystrokes — for real.

All the smiles,
