Hi, I'm Pippa Jay, author of scifi and supernatural stories to engage your emotions.
First, I have to apologize for my absence. Lately I've been feeling like my brain is falling out, and stresses at work and home only seem to have made it worse. So for the new year, I'm hopeful science will be able to improve my mental state because right now it feels like it needs rebooting. 🤯
And then maybe I'll get around to the edits on the third novel in my main series that I've had since June. Oh, and the edits on a short story from December 2020. And two from a few years back. Oops? The pandemic did enable me to release a novella that had been sitting on my hard drive for seven years, and another novella in my main sci-fi rom series. So it hasn't all been bad. But I really need to clear this major brain fog that's been growing worse over the past two years.
Vintro. The planet that had stolen all her dreams.
Melandria Solei has always dreamed of commanding a starship and exploring the universe. When her own dark-eyed older lover steals the position she's worked for, she never expects to go chasing after him in a stolen ship to a world colder than revenge...
How could a moment's anger destroy so much happiness?
It is a question that will haunt him. When an old enemy comes to Kasha-Asor to kidnap their daughter, armed with a weapon that could end everything, Keir is forced to leave an injured Quin on Lyagnius. But his quest for a cure and their missing daughter will come at a terrible cost.
Book #2.5 of the Redemption series.
Trigger warning: the loss of a child.
So I can't have lost my mind that badly... 😆

Pippa, so glad you caught us up on your world - this one and the one you write about. So many writers I know as well as myself have seen a drop in their storytelling. In my case, I didn't even have stories running around in my mind. They are peeking out and that's why I expect 2022 to be better - or not. This is the year of relationships, including with ourselves and that means self-care. Do take care of yourself. Brain fog will lift and stories will be told.
Pippa, I'm pretty sure that brain fog over the last two years has been as contagious as COVID. I know I've certainly suffered from it, as hav many of my writing friends. If you had that to any stress around family or health, it seems that it is exponentially more difficult to come out of brain fog.
It's good to hear you have some plans and are at least thinking of stories again. That is the first step. Hang in there. When health (both mental and physical) returns, combined with renewed desire to write, it will likely come roaring back like a train on a downhill run without breaks. Enjoy this in-between time of moving forward with caution.
