Life Update
Sunday has come to a close here in Aotearoa New Zealand, the Land of the Long White Cloud (or land of the pink skies, with this week’s Aurora Australis – did anyone see it?). It was also Mother’s Day, which honestly…it could have gone better. My son was acting up, I’m sick, and those together don’t make a good combination. I feel awful. I can only hope that I get better soon, as I am meant to be leading a workshop on digital ambassadorship for my day job on Wednesday. It’ll be the first time we’ve had a full session on this topic and I’m a little nervous. I don’t do well speaking in front of large groups! (Probably why I’m a writer, not a speaker!
BBNYA is kicking off soon and it looks like it will be a big time investment. I’ve been working on my plan for the blog for the next few months, trying to plan as much as I can so I don’t get too overwhelmed juggling my day job, my blog, and BBNYA. Here’s hoping it works.
In other news, my laptop “blue-screened” on my last night while I was doing some BBNYA prep. It managed to start up again, but it’s stuck in what I call the “please wait” loop. This means my laptop will start but won’t actually let me log in. I’m having to do all my blogging on my phone which really isn’t ideal.
I sincerely hope your week was better than mine!
Latest Read
I’ve just picked up Secrets of the Deep by Marisa Noelle, as part of an upcoming The Write Read Blog Tour. I have positive impressions of the book so far, but haven’t gone past the first chapter yet. Only time will tell…
Blurb:
Beneath the moonlit waves, Cordelia’s heart races with a secret love that could shatter the ocean realm…
Haunted by the loss of her twin brother, Cordelia vows to face her fear of water. Entering the ocean for the first time in five years, Cordelia discovers she is a mermaid, and that the ocean is alive with marine shapeshifters, and not all of them are friendly.
Embroiled in the middle of an ancient curse which traps her kin beneath the surface, the merfolk entrust Cordelia with a magical relic that may be the key to their freedom. But a seductive danger emerges; the selachii—elusive shark shapeshifters—driven to claim the artifact at any cost.
As Cordelia navigates dangerous threats both on land and in the sea, an old flame materializes from the shadows and her heart becomes entangled in a web of forbidden love that she cannot walk away from. But who exactly is Wade? Where has he been for the last five years and how does he know so much about the ocean’s secrets?
In case you missed it…
Last week on the blog, I published the following blog posts:

Coming soon
I only have a review and a Let’s Talk Bookish planned for this coming week. Maybe that’s a good thing, especially with how sick I am feeling.
