Merry 2023!

-

 2022 was a doozy. In January of '22 I started chemo and finished it in March. I had a breast mastectomy in April. Two weeks later, I went FanExpo Cleveland where I met Mark Sheppard and Grey DeLisle. They signed my Funkos and wished me luck with my recovery. This trip sparked a strong of conventions that my family went to that year. 

Now in 2023, I feel like I am set for whatever life throws at me. 

March will be a big time for me. On March 21st, Onyx will release through Kindle Unlimited. We also have a return to FanExpo Cleveland and the first CabbageCon (Avatar: The Last Airbender theme) in Columbus. 

The second weekend in July, July 8th to be precise, I will be working Committed at Hill View Manor alongside on of my favorite authors, Tracy Kincaid. It will be held in New Castle, Pennsylvania. 

In August, I plan on releasing the second book in the paranormal romance Dream Prophet Trilogy titled Oathbreaker. The first book, Awakening, is available in ebook everywhere and in paperback on Amazon. It is about a world where witches and werewolves have been at work for centuries until the Alpha of the largest werewolf pack dies, leaving a power vacuum that desperately needs filled. When the werewolves start a battle royale a witch with the ability to shift into a wolf infiltrate the action. Only she finds something she wasn't expecting, an answer to a dream she once had upon a time. Awakening was a thrill ride that pulled you in, gaining five stars. Oathbreaker will take the series to a whole other level.

My last trick this year, I will be writing a holiday novella. I haven't decided if it will honor Halloween or Christmas, yet. I will keep you posted as the days draw near.

For now, I hope you enjoyed the holiday season and feel refreshed for the year ahead. Own every day. Don't let it own you. 

Happy New Year.

The Year To Date

January was a fun month that flew by in a heartbeat. My husband and I celebrated our birthdays. It was a treat for me and a major groan for him. I don’t mind my age. He randomly sighs thinking about it. For my birthday, Ken, my husband, had gotten Hamilton tickets for myself and our youngest daughter. We are both huge Lin-Manuel Miranda fans. Seeing Hamilton live in Cleveland, Ohio was a real treat. I also experimented in the kitchen and made lobster tails for the first time. They turned out delicious. Overall, it was a real treat. For Ken’s birthday we went out for lunch at Mike’s Place in Kent, Ohio. They have an X-Wing fighter from Star Wars out front. He just had to take a picture with his Trapper Wolf helmet on. He made a tiktok about it. If you would like to see it, her goes by the name jediken. On the plus side of my health, I began weaning off a sleeping medication with my doctor’s help. I’ve been on it for years, but I’ve been doing well enough (mentally) over the last few

My Book of the Month

Reading is always fun. I plan on reading a book a month. This month I am reading Laurell K. Hamilton's Hit List. It is in the Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series. So far, I've really been enjoying it.  The book throws me back to the original set of books in the series. The ones where it had less to do with sex and more to do with mystery and suspense. Not that there is anything wrong with reading sex. (Hell, I've been known to write a good sex scene every now and then.) My problem is when the sex steals focus from the main part of the story. Hit List does not have that problem.  I highly recommend this book. As well as the rest of the Anita Blake series. Hamilton is a phenomenal writer. She paints vivid pictures without being overtly flowery. She is an author I admire.  The first in the series is Guilty Pleasures. I promise you once you start reading the Anita Blake books you'll be hooked. The latest book, Smolder, releases the same day as my book Onyx. Which is March 21,

Introduction of an Author

  The first idea that comes to mind when starting a blog is: What do I write? Hi. My name is Colleen Tews. I am an author, a mother, a wife, and a progressive. Over the course of the last seven years I have been active in therapy. Mental health is as important as physical. One of the many reasons I write is because it is therapeutic in nature. Although I hate to admit that this is the first piece I’ve written since receiving my breast cancer diagnosis last year. I simply did not have it in me. I’m hoping to change. I do have a handful of books out for you to read. Birth Of A Vixen and the first book in the Dream Prophet Trilogy are available wherever ebooks are sold. These stories are also available in paperback and hardcover via Amazon. Birth Of A Vixen is about a young vampire named Angela Vista and her transformation to powerful creature of substance. She has a destiny to fulfill and is fighting it fang and nail. The Dream Prophet Trilogy takes us into the world of witches a
