I hope everyone’s week is going well! Here is my weekly update of goings on in Elliotverse.
Happy Reading!
This book has been on my TBR pile for about a year, and I’m just in the mood for some intrigue, thieving, and wily escapes. Maybe it’s the spring fever, but I’ve heard nothing but good things about Dance of Thieves by Mary E. Pearson, so I’m excited to take this book with me on vacation this week.
Spark of the Everflame by Penn Cole has been all over Tiktok and Instagram, so I’m excited to try this one out, especially as it’s an indie author like myself. It has a lot of tropes that I enjoy, so I’m looking forward to an entertaining read!
This week, all focus is on dissertation work, as I have a meeting with my advisor next Monday. I’m attempting to set up a good structure for myself so that I can begin making inroads into this work, as it’s gone on far too long. The only issue is that I’ve been having issues with the touchpad on my laptop, so it’s making working harder. Hopefully, the new mouse coming will fix this issue and I will be back to my efficient, working self!
The speaking engagement at my daughter’s school went well. I shared about the writing and publishing process with elementary aged kiddos, as well as showed off my books. I am hoping to plan more speaking engagements in the future, when I start releasing more books in 2025.
The following song has been on repeat in my playlist for writing scenes for Book 2 of my second series. I’m very excited to share more details in the future, once I get my dissertation back on track!
