2025 Projected (and Completed) Projects
Below, you'll find my 2025 projected (and completed) goals. Thanks for your interest!
In 2025, I intend to work as if I'm already retired, except in the case of whenever my publisher is ready to work on editing my last nine books for publication/issue (not counting OOP children's books I hope will be reissued). In that case alone, I will work on a schedule. Otherwise, I'll just follow whatever makes sense to work on at any given time.
Final intensive review of all my books [completed]
Prepare and consolidate all the awards and review I've ever received for my books; add to my website [completed]
Completely update my website with awards and reviews, complete series boxed sets, a suggested reading order note, etc. [completed]
Write articles/reviews for Alien Romances Blog; upload [completed]
Prepare and consolidate a list of all my books and publications details, etc. for retirement legacy [completed]
Editing of my final books for publication
