R.J. here. In good news, I’d finished all my immediate deadlines. In bad news, my husband just went to the ER. It’s not COVID, but it’s also not good.
As such, I’m probably not going to be as active as normal. I’ll keep everybody (who is interested) posted.
At this point in time, nothing in my schedule is changing, I just won’t be as social as normal. Possibly. I have a lot of waiting to do in the near future, as visitors aren’t allowed at the hospital. With a little luck, he’ll be able to come home sooner than later. Unfortunately, I just don’t know anything.
(We’re hoping it’s a severe ulcer. Because that’s the best case scenario right now.)
A special thanks to the San Jose fire and EMS for coming out at 2 AM. Huge kudos to you.
So, Book Faire will either happen or won’t for the next few days. (Sorry. There are a few books left, and I’ll get to them as soon as I’m able.)
Booked for Murder is $2.99 in the US and Canada until the end of the month.
The Magical Romantic Comedy (with a body count) Starter Pack is on sale for $0.99 until February 7, 2021. If you wanted to start this series, this is the best way to go about it.
The next confirmed release is Catnapped in May. It’s going to be amazing. And honestly, between sessions of frantic cleaning (I clean to make myself feel better) and pacing, I’ll probably be working on this, the Vampire of Montana, and Runaway. (Both of those are Royal States titles.)
I will also be working on Unawakened, the second Dae Portals book.
So… I’m off to clean and pace tracks into the apartment carpets while waiting for word.
Whether your spiritual or not, good wishes for luck to him and his doctors are appreciated.

Prayers are starting for your husband and yourself. I pray that the doctors and nurses have the wisdom and foresight to diagnose and treat your husband safely, quickly and correctly. I wish for you love, hope, patience, and healing. It is very tiring to only be able to sit on the sidelines while a loved one is sick and you cannot be there for them except in spirit and prayer. It is a good thing you are finished with your 8 to 9 month writing marathon and you are not up against a deadline. My best wishes are with you and yours.
Shirley
If you don’t mind..I will pray for a swift, complete recovery for your husband. I will pray for comfort and strength for you. Hang in there. God Bless.

I hope you husband recovers quickly. Your fans will all understand that your sole focus right now has to be his health. If your “stress relief” (after cleaning and packing) is writing, we will eagerly look for anything you release. However, if your writing is put on the back burner, we will understand and all send you the strongest of best wishes possible. Take care of yourself while you take care of your loved one.

Love Ann Dougherty
Sending you and your husband all possible prayers, positive thoughts and healing wishes. Try to take care of you so you can take care of him (I’m pretty sure you know that!!!)
So much to think of, so much to do — remember to stay safe, remember to social distance, remember to wash your hands, YADA YADA YADA but at the heart of it all, you know where he is, you know he IS going to be home and you know he will be in your arms. Those thoughts may help you some, I know they help me through times of trouble….
Thinking of you….
Love
Lisa Ellison

Sorry to see this. I saw on Facebook that he is to have surgery and that is why I came to see what I had missed. Praying for him, his healthcare providers and you. I know it adds extra stress that you cannot be there. Hopefully the surgery is one he can be home from soon. May you have peace while you wait.
Traci Marcotte
Hugs and healing for you both. ❤ Keep us posted as long as you’re up to it. You and your family (including the Furred and Grind Management) are what’s important right now.
