Okay so it looks like I fell off the planet. Promise - I'm still here. The last four years have been ... hard. There's no other word for it. Everything is fine. I'm fine, but I've been the caregiver of my mom who has Dementia. Between her needs, work, etc I seem to have lost control of my time. I am still writing and am trying hard to get back to my blog.

In case you weren't aware Phaze and HSWF which where under the Mundania Umbrella have closed. I was smart enough to get my titles back before all this happened. I'm happy to say the three books I sold to HSWF have been picked up by Melange Books and are available through their Satin Books imprint. I have even sold a new title to them called Magical Quest due out in 2022

I have also been lucky enough to find a publisher for my Vespian Way series. I'm now with Blushing Books under the name of Bethany Drake. I have five titles out with them right now and am close to submitting two more. There's Desire's Destiny, Desire's Duty and Desire's Promise. Then there is two in my werewolf series, Tears of the Queen and Legend of the Tears. I have just finished the rough draft of the third book in the series and have plans for a fourth one the moment I submit it.

I'll probably still be sporadic here on the blog. Unless I win the lottery and can hire someone to help me I can't avoid it, but know I'm still here still working hard in the background and am hoping to do better at keeping my blog alive.

A Personal Note

I do apologize for being so sporadic with this blog this year. I'm the care giver of  my mother-in-law and she's been spending an awful lot of time in hospitals lately. We get her home and she ends up back in one a little to quickly for me. She's 87 and I'm happy to say the visits are normally simple things, but when she's away from home it take more time out of my day and my blog has suffered.

I promise to try to do better from this point on but bear with me as I deal with theses things. Thanks goodness I have the interviews or my blog would probably be dormant.

  1. I know what you're going through, Barbara. My mother-in-law was in and out of hospital when she was in her mid-80's. We had to rush home from Northern California one day when she suddenly had to be rushed to emergency. And the scheduled guests were the only thing that kept my blog active last Dec. when my husband was in the hospital. Hope her health improves soon, and know that we all understand.

    Hugs,

    Linda
