March was not a wonderfully productive month. Beyond the awful events of the last week, for which anyone would be excused for “non-prolific-ness”, I still didn’t manage to write many new words. I’m supposed to be a writer, first and foremost, but last month I was mainly an editor. I edited two long novels and one novella for other authors. I also began editing the short stories for the upcoming A Boys Behaving Badly Anthology: Stranded.
The big news for the month was the release of the anthology, Men in Uniform, which includes my novella, “Along Came a Spider” —a fun, sexy, action-y tale about a SEAL and the lovely ex-Army woman he rescues that I think my readers will enjoy!
But writers are supposed to write. So, I’ve loaded up my schedule for April with some ambitious goals.
- Priority #1 has to be getting Stranded ready for release. Yes, I have to edit others’ stories, but I also have to write one of my own to include, something bounty hunter related, entitled “Quincy Down Under”. (Stranded is available for pre-order and only $0.99!)
- Next up is Big Sky Wedding, which lives in my Montana Bounty Hunters and Uncharted SEALs worlds.
- Then there’s the last installment of Stepbrothers Stepping Out: With His SEAL Team–Part 6.
If I can get that far this month, I’ll feel pretty accomplished, and I’ll have earned back my title of WRITER.

Please don’t be so hard on yourself. Dealing with family illness and grief can be debilitating. Since my SIL had a major stroke in late February nothing has felt quite right and it has greatly affected my reading and reviewing schedule.
I am hopeful that things will eventually get to a “new normal” but I know that it’s going to take a while for me and probably for you as well.

HUGS, Delilah–you’re doing a great job. You’ve had a lot of life happening, and it’s a lot to deal with. Be kind to yourself too.
