What a Long, Strange Trip

Hello everybody,

Many monumental things have altered the state of my life this past year. Those things have made me want to become more balanced and disciplined. As a result, I have kept my body, mind, and soul in balance. It has not been easy, but it has been necessary. That said, I have a few projects I need to finish. 

I began my short story project a while ago but got sidetracked due to medical issues. However, I still intend to complete my project and add a bonus story bringing the total number of short stories to twenty. Every time I publish a new story, I will write about it on my blog, Facebook, Tumblr, and Twitter pages, so you will not miss a thing.

My latest short story, Weird Timing, is currently available on Amazon.com. It’s about a young woman named Yasmin, and it’s her first week of college. She just moved from the city to live in a small town where she shares a dorm room with her new roommate in the middle of central Illinois. She meets a guy with potential while navigating college life, but it gets complicated when she tries to seek shelter in the middle of a tornado warning. Yasmin is trying her best to get acclimated to her new life, but will she be able to figure it all out?

I hope you check it out and like it.

I can’t wait to hear your thoughts.

Happy reading,

Janina

This & That Cover

These last couple of months have been surreal. My family and I have been trying to cope with this new way of life, but it’s been tough. We had so many plans, which have thus been canceled. We never imagined 2020 would be like this. It’s been a strange year, to say the least. Hang in there, folks.

One of the ways I’ve been coping has been to focus on my writing. As you know, I have a short story project where I’m publishing one short story a week until the end of 2020. I’ve recently released number five of nineteen. My latest story, This and That is about Brandon and Leslie. They’ve been married for ten years and have reached their boiling point. When Leslie finds an engraved lighter in Brandon’s pants, she plays detective, but will she like what she finds?

It’s available on Amazon now.
