Junebug has gotten so big! She’s up to 45lbs…when the vet predicted only 25. So who KNOWS where she’ll end up?! Her feet are still enormous.

I know I missed two questions from the last AMA a year ago, but they are on my list! I promise! And one more that’s even older than that.

Some questions are easier to answer than others—so I answer right in the comments, for example. Others are significantly more labor intensive, and with SO MUCH GOING ON in the last year…

Yeah, it’s a matter of just carving out the time.

In fact, I have:

  • Two books due on October 15 (!)

  • A short story that I’m expecting notes for any day now

  • Edits for a different book I’m hoping to sell on proposal

  • A ton of self-run Witchlight promo that I’m kicking off because HOLY SMOKES, I have another book releasing in mere weeks (!!)

  • A number of exciting film/TV-related meetings in the next few weeks (!!!)

  • More travel to promote The Executioners Three

  • A ton of driving + dog-management because Junebug has double elbow dysplasia and hip dysplasia (this poor, poor puppy 😭), and the surgeon for it is three hours away—and all the surgeries are happening in the next few months (!!!!)

  • Oh, and Cricket has started kindergarten! And is now doing taekwondo and ballet, which eats up so much more time than I anticipated…but is of course awesome and fully worth it.1

So you know, I’m basically in my Working Mom Era. 😅 But I’m doing the best I can, and I’ll keep trying to get quality content to you without too many gaps between!
