CW: Pregnancy

I’m going to be starting my maternity leave TODAY 9/17/24. I hope to be back no later than mid-October, but this is my first skin baby (as opposed to fur babies, of which I’ve had many) so I have no idea what to expect in terms of recovery and life adjustment.

What does this mean for you, my precious readers? Probably not too much, honestly.

• I will not be able to respond to direct messages on my socials or emails for at least a couple of weeks. But if you don’t mind waiting on a response my inbox is open!
• My Etsy and TikTok shops are in vacation mode, but Amazon will be unaffected by my absence! So my books are still available on the ‘Zon, and it’s just merch and signed copies that you’ll have to wait for.
• No new publications will be happening until after I’m back from maternity leave. BUT my spouse has a good parental leave allowance and is able to help quite a bit, so I should be up and running by the end of the year with more releases and goodies!

I also want to take the opportunity to once more reassure those who are pregnancy-averse that this chapter of my life opening will NOT mean more pregnancies in my books. My focus has been, and will remain on, LOVE. And you don’t need to grow a baby with someone to have a deep and meaningful relationship.

See you soon!
