Greetings, Talebones Readers…
Welcome to a special edition of Talebones Tuesday - with video!
In the short message above, you’ll learn that I’ve decided to pare back some of my announced summer season plans, and why.
I am truly sorry if this update is a disappointment to anyone. Throwing out an announcement or a story and then taking it back or pausing it is the sort of thing I try very, very hard to avoid, but in this case, I really do think it’s best.
Admittedly, I have a bad habit of overloading myself. I’m getting better at recognizing the impulse when it pops up, but I’m clearly a slow learner. (lol)
I really appreciate your understanding. ♥
(If you’re new around here: this isn’t how we usually do things when it comes to housekeeping posts. 😅 But you’ve caught me at a tricky season, and I’m doing my best to navigate it with grace. Please bear with me, and please do check out the Start Here page if you’re looking for more usual fiction fare!)
If you have any questions, please leave them in the comment section, and I’ll be sure to reply as soon as I can.
Thank you for watching/reading ❤
