Fabulous!
One Heart is now available widely across many digital retailers!! It is also available in Kobo Plus! Get you a little nonbinary necromancer as a treat (and don’t tell Vincent I called him little. He’s very proud to be average).
Hey, One Heart is only 99 cents on Smashwords and Payhip?!
Oh, yeah! Smashwords is hosting a great summer/winter sale! Through the month of July, you can get One Heart for 99 cents—and a lot of my other books are on sale for 99 cents or free!
I am also running a sale on my direct shop. Everything is free or 99 cents on Payhip. This sale will probably last all summer.
Yay! Pride season is still going strong in Canada, so grab yourself a cheap or free Chace Verity book to celebrate!
Great. What’s next from you?
It’s gonna be a quiet summer from me, honestly. I had a major breakdown in May from burnout/prolonged health stress and am still dealing with picking up the pieces. I went to the doctor this week and am starting new medication, so hope is on the horizon. Or maybe more setbacks. Who knows. If you’ve been here, you know what I mean. And sorry if you have.
Rest (real rest) has been necessary during the past two months. It’s also been hard to do without feeling guilty. By no means do I consider myself a workaholic, but I genuinely worry people will resent me if I’m not working or being productive (there’s a word I’d love to never see again). There’s also the fear my readers won’t come back if I don’t make regular releases.
But here’s the thing…
For the past year, I have sincerely been debating if I should give up writing. That maybe my dreams aren’t worth the mental duress I keep going through every time I sit at my computer. It’s been so hard juggling poor health and pursuing this line of work.
So in order for me to stand a real chance at continuing my dreams of writing queer books as an openly queer author, I have to focus on my health. While I rest, I’m thinking about what I really want when I write books. Do my dreams actually include reading a bunch of marketing materials written by people whose income depends on authors reading their materials? Is hoping to have a book go viral on social media worth the hours spent making promo material that no one looks at? Should I spend the rest of my life weighing each project by its potential financial value instead of by how happy it would make me?
Lots to think about. I hope you will stick with me, even if all I do this summer is ask you to look at my backlist.
