Self-care

[katrina-ariel]

It's almost the end of 2020 and so much has happened.

Even with so much focus on my writing, I haven't forgotten to enjoy life.

Here are a few things I do for self-care and pure fun:

• Spend time with my kids.
• Get outside. It's cold, but refreshing!
• Keep up with my yoga practice.
• Watch the Mandalorian.
• Geek out about the upcoming Andor series. (OMG I'M SO EXCITED!!!)

What about you? What wins has 2020 brought you? What's one of your favorite self-care rituals?

Whatever happens, keep singing your song!

Peace. @katrina-ariel

As I said on Twitter, that cover art is gorgeous, and I can't wait to check out your book in March! Congratulations!

My self care has been mostly re-reading The Dresden Files series before I'll allow myself to read his two new (almost back-to-back) releases. Things have been especially hectic the past few months, but I'm hoping to get there soon.

Thanks for sharing your good news - I'm so excited for you!

Thank you for sharing in my excitement and supporting me as an author, Traci! I love that you're re-reading a series you enjoy. That looks like a good one! I hear you on the hectic, but I hope you're finding some downtime amidst the chaos. 💖

Now you got me curious. Oh, nice cover art too.

[katrina-ariel]

Aha! That was the idea. 😉 I'm so glad you like the cover art. I'm thrilled about how it's turned out. I've worked with several cover designers, collecting art for each book in the series and I love them all! 💖
