UPDATE: Carpal Tunnel

Good evening, lovelies!

Citadel comes out in just two weeks! Holy shit, right? You can preorder it on Amazon or Barnes & Noble.

I'm currently working on its sequel, Sanctuary, so my literary agents have a stronger negotiating position with Blackstone Publishing in getting me that second book contract. After which I will resume Accidentally Kidnapped, and then get started on a CaFae Latte book. 

However, progress has been stalled due to an unforeseen health hazard. 

For the last couple of years I've been experiencing a slight pain in my left (non-dominant) wrist whenever I work out. This did not bother me until the wrist pain began while I was doing everyday things, even while reading. This weirded me out because I am right-handed, not left-handed. 

Nevertheless, my doctor thinks I have a mild case of carpal tunnel. I'm wearing a brace for a month and doing wrist exercises to see if it goes away, and if it doesn't we'll take further action. 

All this to say is that I'm not typing as quickly or as often as I would like, so progress has been a bit slow. This is irksome and annoying, but it is what it is. 

On a happier note, I finished the revision of Blackwing book 5, which is likely to be titled The Slain Princess. This will be the final installment of the series for 2023, and will be resumed in 2024. I've sent the manuscript to some beta readers who will give  me final feedback within the next two weeks, and then it will likely be published in July. 

If you would like to be a beta reader--that is, someone who reads the manuscript and points out any mistakes (ranging from detail inconsistency to spelling/grammar mistakes to even "this plot sucked and I hate it")--please let me know in the comments! The more feedback I get, the better the story is. 

Thank you!
