Spooky season, a pre-order, and a questionable dinner plan.

 

Shannon's website Shannon on Amazon Shannon on Facebook Beyond Romance Spooky season, a pre-order, and a questionable dinner plan. October 5, 2026 Hello all my peeps and pups. Happy October! It's officially my favorite season. I don't mean fall, although I do love the pretty leaves and the sense of urgency to prep for winter. No, what I mean is spooky season! I just love the vibes of the month and enjoy  every minute of it. That said... The season is starting off a little rough. Hubby is recovering at home and that leaves a lot of extra chores on my plate. Including taking charge of meal prep. I might not have mentioned, but I'm a terrible cook. I've been relying on hubby's kitchen skills for my survival for a very long time. Only time will tell if I can keep us both alive long enough for him to get back on his feet.  In book news... The Books Books Books event in Lancaster was amazing. So many wonderful readers and a chance to hang out with some writer buddies. If you can join us next year, take the plunge, it makes for a great day. And Vali's Curse is up for pre-order. I'll be sending out ARC invites in the next few days. If you're wondering what an ARC reader does - it's all about early access to a new release with the intention to give an honest review to help the right readers find the book. If you're interested in giving it a try, watch for the next email. I'll open up space for the first 50 ARC readers.  If it's not for you, don't worry. Just ignore the invite.  Time to go out and get busy.  Read more and enjoy the hustle!

Thanks to everyone who came to visit my table. It was a pleasure meeting you. September is almost behind us. Just a few more days and we'll be rolling into October, and a month full of tricks and treats. Before we get to that, September still has a few more kicks in it This week I'm stressing a bit with health problems in the family. And as you all know family is everything to me. . *deep breath* It will be okay. These little bumps are just part of life.  --  Yeah, it doesn't make me feel any better. So I will just say... Fuck cancer. With that villain in mind, I will make the second Lynx Clan book, Forgotten... free this week. And if you prefer it in audiobook form, it will only be $1.99 as an add on while it is free. In first half of October, I will mostly be focusing on health and family, but later in the month, I'll have a couple releases (Vali's Curse and A Spirit United) and a couple events.  Read more and hug your loved ones! ~ Shannon UPCOMING EVENTS 10/16: New release: Origins: Vali's Curse 10/24: Spooky Adult Book Fair at Vellum Fermentation 10:30: New release: Origins: A Spirit United 10/31: West Kittanning Craft Fair 11/1: Penn Run Craft Fair 11/7: Elderton Craft Fair TBA: "Squirrel...!"
