Where did the time go? I missed most of August and September due to my health scare and now we're days ahead of October and I'm not sure I'm quite ready.

 

My kids are in full fall aesthetic mode, and I'm still locked to my bed or my couch most of the time. They made a super cool fall Bucket's list using paint and glitter (Mr. Snow wasn't happy about our bedroom being turned into a glittery palace, but he was the one who bought the art supplies so he knew what was in store, no?) From fall-themed diner to fall movie and a bunch of activities, the little Snows thought about everything. I'm just sad, my health doesn't allow us to travel or go on a hike like they planned.

 

And now they are talking about Halloween costumes and I can't find in me the energy to help them plan their outfits. They said they'll do it themselves, but I'm usually a huge Halloween fan and prep costumes weeks in advance. They did a fun pumpkin-head photoshoot last week and it was the cutest thing ever. 

 

 

We used to visit the pumpkin patch when the kids were little and do the corn maze. We haven't found one we like around here yet.

 

My health is a bit better than it was the last time I wrote an email, but I'm still struggling a lot. I've been to the ER a few more times since because there are a lot of weird stuff happening to my body and the pain can be very excruciating at times. I'm back on antibiotics after another round of infection so they say I'm not out of the wood yet, but as long as the infection doesn't travel anywhere else, that it should be okay. Crossing my fingers and toes. And now I'm thinking about one of my characters who used to say she was crossing her toes and fingers and I can't remember who it was. Seriously, my brain is one giant ball of fog and everything I do takes me ten times the amount of time it would usually take me to do it. If you know who I'm talking about, please tell me. I'll be raking my brain now trying to recall.

 

In the coming weeks, you'll see my releases dates being postponed to January for Broken Link and Kickoff on all retailers. Even though I'm still working on the books, I'm so tired I cannot do half the thing that need to be done before release day. As promised the last time, I'll try to do cover reveals in the meantime. Scroll down for Heart Song cover. The ebook is only available on my website for now and it includes both BlindSided and ForeverMore. The cover pays tribute to the old title in a sweet way. Let me know what you think. Also, it includes 200 more pages than the original version , which means more of Carter and April since readers always beg for more of these two.

 

Being benched from my own career (and my own life) is a big step back for me. I was so excited about the upcoming releases and I have to accept that there will be delays, but I'll get there eventually. It's just hard not being able to do what I love and partake in my family's life, and have date nights with my husband, or go for a drive because being seated is painful. As long as the sun is shining, there's hope it'll get better, no? I just need to learn to be more patient I guess.
