ICYMI this week ...

A round-up of headlines from the Daily News podcast

I handed in my manuscript today. My life has been lived from underneath this document and I can’t tell you how great it feels to have it sent off.

I can’t say that I have a ton to say today. I’m still adjusting to not having a word count to hit today, or this week. It’s DONE. Book 4 comes out in August and this manuscript will come out in May 2025. It’s a doozy of a book and I’m excited for you to read it.

Here are the headlines that we featured on the Daily News this past week.
