Okay so Friday is my first official oncology appointment. It looks like I'll be able to get the insurance coverage I need to get my surgery, thanks to the financial navigator at the hospital who found me new insurance. Its not a done deal yet, but its a start. Financially, things are still dire but I won't die (at least not from this anyway) It should also help me get my meds for my psoriatic arthritis. Now, obviously, surgery, recovery, reconstruction, possible chemo or radiation is still on the horizon and I'll know more about that Friday.

That being said, I am trying to make a plan to keep my head above water so my career doesn't end up in the trash while I'm recovering. I think while I'm undergoing treatment I'm going to focus on shorter one-off stories like the core-four, poor four, couple stories as well as serial chapters and/or novellas as I can. You guys seem to enjoy revisiting the past couples and honestly, having to plot a novel while my brain feels like jello is not really working. This way I get to keep writing and you guys have stuff to read and hopefully we're both happy until I can go back to cranking out novels full time.

I appreciate everybody hanging with me. As always, this only pertains to me and my writing schedule. Boxes, books, etc are all on the same schedule they've been. We will (and by me I mean poor Shannon) will have a garage full of Barbarian, Psycho and Unhinged sometime next week and then it will be absolute chaos. Thank you for being patient.

Oh, and look for a huge liquidation sale coming up as we get rid of hundreds of books at crazy low prices to clean out Shannon's old inventory.

Glad you have the appt on Friday and that you got new insurance that can cover it! Also totally fair to only focus on small stuff that doesn't require a lot of brain power like a whole book 🫠

Sending best thoughts and vibes your way for the appointment ❤️

Kate W Ramos

Sounds like a great plan. When my mom had breast cancer she went through times where chemo made her not be able to function and then it would wear off until the next time and she would be able to do things. Radiation was still easier to handle then chemo but still made her tired. I'm glad you have patreon to support you when you will be down and out.

Sending all of my thoughts and healing vibes ❤️

I hope the appointment goes well. Please don’t overdo it, I would love stories and novellas about for,er couples … or my old idea of a Adam in suburbia sorry from the pov of their dogs, but we will be here when you are ready. Just focus on getting through this!

Kristine 💜

Also yay liquidation sale! And poor Shannon but yay us for book boxes

Abrianna Ahrens

I hope everything goes well! Your health should be first. I definitely know no matter if it took years for you to write another book I would still be here. I’m constantly rereading and enjoying everything you’ve written! 💕💕

I'm so sorry you're going through this. We just recieved news that my baby cousin's (he's 18, not a baby, just the baby of the family) cancer has returned, on his spine. He had his own surgery last time, a 14+ hour marathon that took two ribs, part of his spine and part of a lung. Radiation and months of physical therapy, and he rang the bell in August. And in August a year later he's back in it, with a surgery scheduled for the beginning of the month. My twins (4, then) saw me light our big candle in the mantle last time, and when they asked I explained about what it meant to light the candle and what it was to hold a space for hopes and wishes in our hearts, and they both nodded and headed off. After a few minutes they came back, bringing their ferocious looking velociraptor toy. "Candle needs a guardian." they told me. I sent pictures to my aunt and uncle, and it's something that holds a special place in our hearts. So, for you and for my cousin, we'll be bringing out the big candle on the mantle again, and the guardian raptor, and sending our best healing thoughts to you both. Though maybe this time we'll upgrade to a spinosaurus.

Sending hugs. Your career will never be in the trash. You are an amazing author and there are still new readers out there, they'll get to your books and be obsessed like everyone else 😂
