Hey ,

I hope you’re having a great summer (or winter, depending on where you hang your hat).

Before I dive into this month's update, I have a tip to enhance your email reading experience.

Recently, one of my less tech-savvy readers mentioned that the text in her emails always appeared bold whenever she read them on her computer. Realizing she probably wasn’t the only one who faced this minor annoyance, I wanted to share a simple fix with you.

See the ‘View in browser’ option at the top right of your email? Click it and, Poof! Behold the magic of proper email formatting—exactly as it was intended.

I answer all my readers’ emails, so let me know if you have questions like this or if you just want to say hi. Until then, happy reading.

You may recall that last month’s email was a bit of a downer, and I wish to apologize if it dragged you down, too. After all, this is your place to escape into the exciting world of time travel and book news—not to hear the sad tale of a pup getting his angel wings.

That being said, thank you for lending me your virtual shoulder to cry on. Your heartwarming condolences meant so much to me, and I’m grateful for your presence in my community.

I'm back on track after last month's production hiatus.

I’ve always found writing the last third of my stories the most challenging part. But you already know that if you’ve been hanging out here regularly. This time in particular, it’s been a slow and sometimes frustrating endeavor fraught with indecision, doubt, and the occasional case of acute writer's block.

A fellow writer blames "the final-third doldrums" on the fear of saying goodbye to her characters and the worlds they inhabit. She says her procrastination means she can spend more time immersed in those worlds and exploring her characters on a deeper emotional level. Granted, she’s an incredibly prolific writer who can produce an entire three-book series in six months, so I can understand why she would want to stick around a little longer.

For me, the opposite is true. Some of these characters have been living in my head for almost a decade now, and it’s time to bid them farewell. This extends beyond my own need for resolution. I desperately want to provide you, the reader, with the closure you deserve after taking this creative journey with me.

Fortunately, after all the fits and starts, I’ve FINALLY settled on a clear path toward the conclusion of this twisty-turny time travel series, and there’s no stopping me now!

🏃🏼‍♀️
