Well, hello there, strangers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I KNOW. It’s been forever. Again (see the last post I made… Jan 2025. EEK!). At this point, apologizing for disappearing from my own blog is practically a tradition, but here we are. I’m sorry! I promise I’ve been doing things. Lots of things, actually. I just haven’t been particularly good at telling anyone about them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But today is a BIG day, and I’ve got so much exciting book news that I simply couldn’t keep quiet any longer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, though, a little life update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So… where have I been?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you’ve been following me on social media, you may have noticed that I’ve been a lot quieter lately. I made the decision to step back from Instagram, TikTok, and the endless pressure to constantly create content, and oh my goodness, what a difference it’s made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been publishing books since 2017, and somewhere along the way, I think I forgot that I was allowed to simply enjoy<\/em> being an author without having to turn every moment of my life into a promotional opportunity. I love connecting with readers, but the constant pressure to stay visible was slowly sucking the joy out of something I adore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I stepped away. And you know what? It’s been GREAT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other big reason I’ve been so quiet is that my health has been giving me a rather spectacular run for my money. Between a long recovery from Long COVID and years of trying to get doctors to take my various health problems seriously, I’ve spent far too much time feeling like a shadow of myself. But things are finally looking up! I’ve found doctors who are actually listening to me, I’m making progress with my recovery, and for the first time in a long while, I feel like I might actually be getting myself back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m back full force, baby!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Well. Almost. Let’s not get carried away. I’m still learning how to pace myself, which is surprisingly difficult for someone who insists on having approximately seventeen different careers and hobbies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of which, I ALSO HAD AN ASTEROID NAMED AFTER ME?!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes. An actual asteroid. In space. (20700) saraheanderson is spinning around up there as we speak. As someone who has devoted her scientific career to studying the little rocks and icy leftovers of our Solar System, I cannot begin to explain how much this means to me. Little me, who dreamed of becoming an astronaut, would be absolutely losing her mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, enough about my life. LET’S TALK BOOKS!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
