Hello friends!
I apologize I didn’t put out a blog last week. I have been sick for about 2 and a half weeks now. Which is absolutely ridiculous, but anyway. I’m back on track.
I have been busying myself both getting ready for fall and trying to hash out details for my next book, which is due in April, I believe. I keep coming up with new ideas, and I’m trying to hash out what works, what doesn’t, and what is just absolutely too ridiculous to even attempt. My character for the next story is about a young girl–late teens, or very early adulthood, who is a selkie. Selkies, by nature, are very docile creatures, but we can’t have that or else the story would probably be very boring, so I’ve been trying to come up with ideas that give her abilities beyond what the typical selkie can do. Of course, I’m not giving that away just yet, but I’m hashing out the details right now, and I’m kind’ve excited about what I’m coming up with.
Now, As per my last blog, I had given an update about Jenna’s condition, and things had been looking quite grim. I heard from her mother, and she is doing better, but as far as I know, she is still expected to leave us in the upcoming weeks. But I still wanted to share what her mother wrote me. I think it goes to highlight what a powerful warrior she truly is. I am honestly not surprised at all that she is moving around and eating now, when just a week and a half ago she wasn’t conscious at all.
“Jen sleeps and wakes, eats some with help, us still drinking. She has gotten cantankerous in a funny sort of way. She wants to call the nurses every few minutes. She will get out of bed to wander around if no one is there. She says things that are really offbeat and funny. I don’t know whether it is dementia or whether her disease has spread to her brain. I’m just holding on by the seat of my pants. Trying to be in 2 places, taking care of her and the dogs. Please pray for us.”
On that note, please consider pre-ordering her final work, our final work together. She was so happy to get this last piece of work done, and I feel like it’s just one more wonderful way to keep her alive, through what she loved most.... books.
