As a friend said, we are in a month of Mondays! Some love this month, but here in Wisconsin it is cold and snowy. It is a month to survive. I have several friends, and a mom, with a birthday this month – HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALL – but it’s still a rough twenty-eight days.
I’ve been spending the month having Pack edited. It’s scheduled to come out on May 8th. I may release it early if everything comes together. The cover is almost ready to share; expect that in the next newsletter. Then Battlefield will publish on August 17th.
There’s a question out about a series for Pebble. The jury is still out. If I decide to write that series, it won’t be in 2023.
I published a short steampunk story, The Search. Amazon put it under forty-five minute reads. I’m excited about this story, and hope you look into it.
If you’ve caught up on all of the above, then what’s left for you to discover? You know I won’t leave you without anything to read. See below for three excellent books to add to your collection! I’ve personally read Wyldling Snare and Legacy Bound and can tell you they are excellent. As for Butter, Sugar, Magic, I hear her characters almost eat as much as mine, so don’t read hungry!
Thanks for joining me once again!

Welcome to Tehara: an untamed world where magic is possible, dangerous creatures roam the wilderness, and a hidden adversary schemes to overthrow the rule of the Baron-Knights.
Apprentice knight Enoch Northward returns home from a festival to find the Baron-Knight of the Northern Marches dead, the heir-apparent missing, and himself expected to rule in their stead. While he grieves the loss of his beloved guardian, Enoch is determined to prove his ability to lead despite his incomplete training. But he struggles to follow in such large footsteps. A search for missing people draws him into the forbidden Darkenwood Forest, where he discovers a path to another world… and a secret within himself that may destroy everything he loves.
Wyldling Snare—a young adult portal fantasy and the first installment of the Wyldling Dream series—is a coming of age story with underlying themes of faith, friendship, and found family.
Butter, Sugar, Magic – Jessica Rosenberg
Midlife transformation has never been more magical or delicious.
When Cassie inherits a fully stocked bakery along with a beautifully furnished apartment from a mysterious great aunt, she’s convinced she must be dreaming.
Things like this don’t happen to 40-year-old newly single moms down on their luck.
Then again, apartments don’t usually adapt themselves to your desires and friendly neighbors don’t usually tell you you’re a witch as they float fireballs in the air.
Cassie has two choices. She can hightail it out of this bewildering town and figure out another way to support her pre-teen daughter. Or she can stay in this unsettling place and embrace the unexpected.
Will she have what it takes to bake up a magical fresh start, or is this all just too far out of her comfort zone?
Butter Sugar Magic is the first book in the delicious new Baking Up a Magical Midlife Paranormal Women’s Fiction series by Jessica Rosenberg.
Mages bound to the Queen want free of their bindings, whilst those found unbound are put to death. Rebellion is in the air.
Isobel, an empath, hides in plain sight, dreading the day they will come for her. Older sister to William, she has spent her life protecting him while searching for a cure to the demonic corruption that will eventually consume him.
Looking for redemption, former soldier, William, has turned to the Light, renouncing his violent ways. If he doesn’t, he risks losing the battle raging inside him and fears the consequences of that happening to those he loves.
Youngest grandson of the Queen, free spirited Prince Marcus cavorts throughout the empire, determined to enjoy his remaining moments, and with one year left, his time runs short. But when he meets Isobel, Marcus discovers there is more to life than indulging every whim and fancy.
Not knowing friend from foe, and with the repercussions of their actions closing in, Isobel, Marcus and William find themselves on the run whilst trying to stop an uprising that could shatter the empire.
Can they succeed and break free of the shackles of their past, or will they be forever bound to it?
