2021 Year in Review #AuthorUpdate

 


Well, it's that time of year when people reflect on the year's progress and successes. 2021 has swept by in the blink of an eye! While I didn't get all of my goals met (I had a lot of them!), I did achieve quite a few successes that I'm grateful for, and I'd like to share them with you. After all, I wouldn't be anywhere without my readers. I can't even express my gratitude in words! That's how much you mean to me!

So, here's a list of my published books this year. Some of the boxed set collections were only limited edition and are no longer available, but I plan to re-publish the stories I contributed when the time is right (meaning when I get covers that I'm satisfied with!).


Her Haunted Valentine (Oops! I forgot to add this to the graphic!)

Of those books published, one of them made it onto the USA Today Besteller's List (a first for me!), as well as an Amazon and International bestseller!



This happened in August 2021, but I am still so excited that we achieved this! It's been a dream of mine to make this list and to see it finally happen was more than wonderful! Again, my many, many thanks to the readers who helped make this happen!

I also keep track of my word count, made easier since I began writing with 4thewords! This is an online game where you battle monsters by writing to hit word counts. It's very effective at increasing your word count as I like to earn tokens to buy my avatar new clothes. My kids help me dress my avatar so it's almost like a family game. And now we have a house to decorate, too! And outside land, too! It's really fun! :)


Here are a few looks for our avatars!
You can find more on Pinterest. I wanted a way to save some of the ones we really loved!




Well, I think that's it! Here's hoping for a fantastic year for 2022!

I wish you a happy, safe and healthy New Year!!

My name is Noelle, and I'm an elf.

Jaxar is a sexy, to-die-for, green-skinned alien who thinks I'm stealing his salvage.

He's never met an elf.

#NewRelease! Into the Dark #KindleVella #pnr #dystopian #Romance

 



If you haven't heard of it yet, Kindle Vella is Amazon's new serialized reading platform which opened in July 2021. Basically, it's reading a story one short episode at a time.

I'm dipping my toes into this and having a blast with my paranormal dystopian romance, Into the Dark! I already have several episodes available with more to come. The first 3 episodes are FREE, so there's no harm checking it out! I'll be dropping 2 to 3 episodes a week going forward, so keep checking for updates!

And if you read and enjoy it, please, please, please like the episode with the thumbs up and hit that follow button! That helps me know if you want to read more of the story! And it helps other readers take notice, too!





Trapped in a dimension where magic feeds from the living, Allison must trust a stranger to help her survive in this terrifying reality. Brian has lost all hope of escape.

Finding Allison has given him new purpose to keep going, but for how long?

As they search for a way out of this nightmarish world, will they sacrifice their newfound feelings for each other for a chance to return home? Or will they remain trapped in a world where the dead walk among the living?

Read the First 3 Episodes for FREE!
