I was so excited to be included in the AuthorTube Secret Santa collab created, organized and executed by Shanon (S.D. Huston). This was a fun way to connect with other AuthorTubers and spoil them with something special. I want to thank Shanon for including me and Lauren Adele for the amazing spa gift set! I smell better already!

The rest of this video is my weekly writing vlog that got severely interrupted by my rude body! So hang tight for the update on QLM, health and the week that felt like a year! My AuthorTube writing vlogs are a behind the curtain peak at the madness that is my world.
