It’s been a long while, huh? Life’s been weird and good and bad and busy, and for a few years there, I lost me.
I can blame it on the day job being hectic, on a series of health issues with my family–which thankfully didn’t leave any long-lasting damage–on the loss of our dogs, or the passing of a good friend, but the crux of the matter is that I was suffering from depression, and because I was still functioning, I didn’t realize it.
A year and a half later, with the help of my meds, I’m more myself every day. Reality still scares the crap out of me some days, but I’ve managed to cling to the happy moments, and I’ve even started writing again. I’m working on a new series, different than what I’ve written before, and though it’s going super slowly because I’m finding my footing again, I hope to finish Book 1 within 2025.
I have a crazy dog and a cuddly cat now, and The Kid just entered his teenage years, so our apartment is all crazy, all the time. Thankfully, Andrei shares that crazy with me, so when the front door closes at the end of the day, there’s love and happiness inside.
I just wish there was love and happiness outside, too, but until we make that happen, there’s always reading, to open new worlds up to us.
