I can hardly believe it, and you probably can’t either, but Not a Witch is done! The ebook is available pretty much wherever you buy your ebooks.
If you’re a library user, all the Jake & Boo books are available through Overdrive, so ask your library to get them!
The paperback should be available by the end of the month – I’m waiting for the galley proof to arrive, and if it looks okay then we’re in business. I’ve had cover issues in the past (Not a Mermaid was a nightmare) but I am optimistic!
Not a Witch is also a backdoor pilot for a new series – Hill Country Witches. I am currently plotting and outlining the first book and will be writing it in November for NaNoWriMo. I will be posting the draft on my Patreon page throughout November, so subscribers will get a first look at the story. Once the draft is done I’ll be editing and rewriting and hoping to publish in early 2021.
So…
Why the long wait? Fair question, and I am so, so sorry it has taken so long. I really thought it would go faster, and then *bam* it was like I hit a brick wall. It’s taken about 18 months, but I think we’re getting my health issues figured out. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Hypothyroidism, and started on thyroid hormones for that, but still was having fatigue and pain and inability to concentrate. My endocrinologist (who is amazing) suspected anemia, and it turns out I do have low iron stores, but not anemia. So the next order of business is getting those iron levels back up! Turns out low Ferretin symptoms can look like a lot of other stuff and can go undiagnosed for years. Years, people! Yikes. I guess what I’m saying is, if you know something’s wrong, don’t give up until you figure it out. It can make such a difference. Like whether or not you’re able to put out that latest book or just take a walk around the block.
