Sheila and Sara

 Please excuse Sheila from working on her novel for the next several days, as it is Holy Week and her state of mind for that period will not be conducive to doing so.

 After years of drafting, trunking, rebooting, and rewriting, my debut novel, Christophina's Wings , is out for public consumption. I know I've been intermittent about posting here about it, but I'll be back with progress reports and excuse note as I refine the sequel, Christophina's Garden. Anyway, if you want to check out the book, it's available at sarashay.com/books for your perusal. Whoo-hoo!

 I have uploaded the final version of Christophina's Wings  to Apple Books and Amazon, and the Kindle listing is up for preorder. (The Apple listing has been delayed due to a mistake I made. Twice.) This...kind of makes it real. Yikes. Anyway, here's the link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0G3XYZJXW Release date is December 29, 2025. I'm sure all three of you will be right on it.

 Just a quick announcement to the three people who read this that you can read the first chapter of Christophina's Wings  at https://sarashay.com/2025/02/23/christophinas-wings/. Actual release date is still tentatively December 15 — I have to compile and refine the manuscript into ebook format and get ARCs out before releasing it to the world. The gap between now and release day is to account for anything screwing up and taking too long. I also have a newsletter set up! The form to sign up is also at that page. It'll pop up to prompt you about two minutes into reading. If you're not interested, just click elsewhere and it should go away. More updates forthcoming, though a lot more of my thinky-thoughts about writing are going to be on the newsletter first, and might not make it here. Thanks for reading, three people!

 Please excuse Sheila from working on her project for the past several days, as she went on a long weekend to see Sir Paul McCartney play in Las Vegas. This time includes a day off after her return to recover from a red eye flight. She has resumed work today, and hopes she'll be able to continue the momentum.

 Please excuse Sheila from working on her book today, because she was rereading and taking notes for her writers group tomorrow. Thank you.
