Hello! Welcome to 2024 and the January update:
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: a new newsletter format. (SKIP DOWN IF YOU READ THIS LAST MONTH)
I am attempting to organize as we move into a new year. One of the things that I sort of despise about the author business is writing “monthly” newsletters. In case you didn’t know, having a mailing list for authors is huge because this list is the only thing we “own” to keep in touch with our readers.
-Social media sites could shut down tomorrow.
-You could become less active.
-Companies can make changes in how you see posts.
A mailing list allows us to share news with you without the middleman (not counting that pesky spam filter!) So, to make sending newsletters easier, I’ve decided to use Substack since it does double duty as a blog and mailing site.
A relevant book ‘newsletter’ will be sent out monthly. The other posts will be here for you to read whenever. This site will possibly become an author's life journal. It might end up being only books. I’m unsure at this point, but I hope you’ll stick around to find out. You do not need to do anything to remain on my list.

What’s going on with Michele?
Well, I'm glad you asked. I took the first few weeks of 2024 off to go on a cruise (first-timer here) with my mom. We sailed out of Tampa on Celebrity Cruise lines and hit New Orleans, Cozumel, Belize, and Costa Maya over nine nights. It was an experience. My mother is a casino gal, so I spent much of my time by the pool reading or daydreaming and meeting a lot of sweet older people. Did I mention the average age of the passengers was pushing 70? This was certainly a retiree trip, but spending so much time with my mom was nice. The crew was awesome, the food was yummy, and the time off was much needed.
Now that I’m back on dry ground and finally regaining my land legs, I’m back at work on what I hope to be my next release. I’m delving into high fantasy with adventure, politics, and plenty of romance. Keep an eye out here and on Instagram for writing updates. My contemporary lovers, don’t worry because I have a LONG list of book ideas and half-written projects to tackle.
Below is a small look at what’s been inspiring my fantasy:
Also, in case you’re wondering, Mindy Michele is on a writing break for the majority of 2024 since Mindy had baby number two in December (Reed Callan). We’ll let you know once we get back to work on my most anticipated story (Esa!) and some other ideas we have cooking.
That’s it for today. I’ll be rather scarce around social media due to Belle’s dance obligations picking up and writing. Stay happy, healthy, and safe friends!
