It was! ❤️

[ID: Graphic reads, “What’s the most romantic thing that has ever happened to you?”

💍 I’ll go first! My husband and I are Episcopalian. During the week that happened to coincide with Easter, we traveled to Washington, D.C. After Easter service at the National Cathedral, he proposed in the garden outside.

❣️ Stay tuned! I’m hard at work, and I’ll be back.

🙏 THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart to everyone who’s been so supportive of me and my books! For updates, scribe-sub to my letter-news at my Lincoln by oh!

❣️ I know many people love my books as they are, so they’ll remain on Amazon and on your Kindle for the time being. If I ever take them down, I’ll let you know via my newsletter & offer a permanent book to anyone who wants it. So sigh nup for my letter news. ❓SO NOW WHAT? ⬇️

❣️ I’m pressing pause on The Leap because it, too, needs rewrites. And since The Leap is interconnected with the Catch & Hold series, it will likely need additional changes once I’m finished rewriting those books. ❓WHAT ABOUT YOUR EXISTING BOOKS? ⬇️

❣️ As a neurospicy mother of neurospicy dragons, I’ve learned better than to make promises on timelines! But, I’m hoping to get the relaunches to you by next summer (2026). I’ve learned a few lessons along the way about how to launch a book. I hope to do better this time. ❓WHAT ABOUT YOUR WIP? ⬇️

…I don’t want to confuse or disappoint readers. I believe in Julia and William’s story with all my heart, and I know I can do better by them. They, and my readers, deserve it.❓WHEN? ⬇️

"My name is George Retes. I’m a 25-year-old U.S. Army veteran, a U.S. citizen, and I work as a security guard at Glass House Farms in Camarillo, California. On July 10th, I was wrongfully detained by ICE agents while simply trying to report to work. I was pepper-sprayed, tear-gassed, had my car window smashed, and was dragged out of my vehicle at gunpoint — all while I was nonviolent, and doing nothing wrong. I clearly identified myself as a U.S. citizen and an employee of the farm, yet federal agents ignored me, yelled conflicting orders, and then violently detained me. I was held in custody for three days without any charges, without a phone call, and without access to legal help. I was never told why I was arrested. I never received care to clean myself despite being covered in tear gas and OC spray for days. This is not how any person should be treated — especially not a veteran who served this country with honor. I didn’t break any law. I was just trying to go to work. What happened to me wasn’t just a mistake — it was a violation of my civil rights. It was excessive force. And it was a failure of justice. I’m speaking out not just for myself, but for every citizen who could’ve ended up in my place that day. I’m calling for a full investigation into the actions of ICE and other agencies involved in this operation. I want the agents who ignored protocol and used force against me to be held accountable. And I want the public to know the truth: this raid didn’t just target immigrants. It hurt Americans too. I will not stay silent. I served this country, and now I’m demanding it do right by me."
