*whispers* Is that Elle Lees? Where has she been? She’s been gone for months. Is she okay?

Yes, yes and yes.

Yes it’s me. Yes I have been gone for months. As far as where I been…well, around.

We all know that life happens and no one is immune from it. Sometimes it takes us longer than we would like to get back to normal. Well, I’m not back to “normal” whatever that is, but I am trying.

Anyways, you all want to know about books. When’s “Azalea” coming out? Is the one I get alot and rightfully so. Since the release of “Wisteria”, a year ago!? (I didn’t even get to celebrate *sad face*)

However, I’ve been working on “Azalea” of course and it’s quite the journey I didn’t expect. I’ve also been working on “But You’re Cupid” which a few of you already know about and another project that I’ve briefly talked about. So, I have been working on my books, just not as often as I would like. I’m not a writer who can write everyday and kudos to those who can, but my brain doesn’t work that way. So to answer your questions, yes I have been working on my projects. No, I don’t have an estimated date of release, but I am working hard to get something out soon. That’s the best I can do.

One of my goals for 2026 is slow living, but efficient results and I’m applying this to my life overall: reading, writing, streaming, crocheting and just daily existing.

As always I appreciate your support and don’t worry, I will have some more updates for you soon!

Happy New Year my loves and I wish you nothing but the best for 2026! Cheers!

EL🩷
