June 2026

Welcome back!

Writing Updates:

The writing for Spark and the covers for both Spark and Flame are still in progress! All will be ready before Spark’s December release date.

I’ve started doing deep dives into the vaults from Fallout! I’ll start putting those out later this month along with a fanfic for Shikamaru from Naruto! If you don’t want to miss those, make sure you catch me over on AO3! I plan to start posting the Shikamaru fic in early July.

Reading Updates:

Since my last post, I’ve finished The Striker by Ana Huang. I hope you weren’t waiting on anything else because that is all I’ve read this month. I’m hoping to see much higher page counts on my Goodreads/StoryGraph account in the next month.

You can see what I’m reading (or lack thereof) and when by following me on StoryGraph! While you’re there, be sure to check out my reading challenge for 2026!

Personal Updates:

In May, I said we weren’t house hunting any more. That part was true, but it’s because we were moving! We’re finally in our new home, but we’re still working on getting everything settled. We didn’t move far, but the houses could not be more different. It’s taking a lot of adjusting on everyone’s part to get comfy and settled in. I don’t deal with change or other people having negative emotions well, so here’s hoping we get settled in soon!

Thank you for joining me on this ride, and here’s hoping that sometime soon writing these posts won’t feel like talking to myself.
