    Titles Coming Down

    Thoughts
    Having gone through this before, I can't express how painful it is to watch my books slowly disappear from one site after another. 

    As of today, my College Rose Romances are the holdout and are still available. I expect them to go this weekend. 

    I know I've done this before. It's still hard for my heart to see it.

    Thoughts Work Writing
    This year has been hard fought. And that's saying something after the last few we've been through. The day job is a struggle in a way I'd long thought had been left behind. COVID remains a constant worry. My mom's husband passed suddenly, and though it was after long illness, the adjustment has been difficult. I broke my back in a fall on the ice in the early days of March. The struggle just to do ordinary things has been ceaseless and painful.

    Add to that feelings of failure: at my job, in my writing, in my hopes for recovery. The costs to keep the doors open at Purple Horn Press have simply gotten too high, and that means a likely move to straight out self-publishing if I even put my books back out at all.

    I think writing those words hurts almost as much as breaking my back. 

    Life is full of lessons. The hard part is figuring out what it was I was supposed to learn.

    ​I'm still not sure.
