Special Announcement
Update and Personal Note
Happy Saturday! Hope y’all are having a good day.
Before we get going, I want to take a few words and thank you all for trusting me with your time, reading my words, giving feedback and encouragement. Hopefully, I can continue to entertain you all. Have a Healthy, Safe and Happy holiday season.
It has been a long and crazy year, and the one thing I tried to do is maintain balance. For me that’s balancing my science research work life, writing life, and family life. Exhausting just writing it!
I was working hard to get you the next edition of the Rabbit Hole of Research, but it’s not quite finished. A number of things came up at work and family, and I didn’t want to send out crap. I would never send out anything that I didn’t feel was worth your time reading. I do put a lot of effort into the research and the writing of the Rabbit Hole of Research. I hope you have been enjoying then and the next edition should be ready next weekend, a nice holiday read.
If you missed an issue (or you are new to my newsletter) go check them out here. They are a fun take on the quirky science in Fiction books and movies.
I have been busy with other projects and marketing. Marketing is the thing no one talks about when you are writing your novel. But, building platforms, like this newsletter, Twitter, Instagram, etc, becomes very important as book launches approach. Also, marketing efforts take up more time than you think. The more you put in the more you get out. With that said I wanted to get this special edition newsletter off to you because I am working with some other authors to share our stories with our networks of readers. So please click on the links below and check out their stories.
Personally, I never imagined that my writing career would start to lift off as it has, and I’d be worrying about marketing or launch dates for novel’s and stories. 2021 will be a busy year with the two releases, January and February, and I will also be working on several new stories. I have been accepted into three anthologies:
1) Moonlight Anthology— A paranormal Romance novella— if you remember a few newsletters ago I was researching werewolves—“Finding Light on The Dark Side of The Moon”—released October 2021
2) Emerging Worlds Anthology—an after isolation novella—“The Cure”—released November 2021
3) Virus Apocalypse Anthology—a horror pandemic Anthology (yes a fictional story)—“Long Way Back Home”—released March 2022
Also, I have been working on a new novel, ‘The Cost of Us” that I will be querying to agents soon and a graphic novel script. And, as early reviews about my novel form Advance Readers come in, I have started to outline a part 2!
And you will be getting your monthly fix of Jotham via the Rabbit Hole of Research Newsletter. I have been contemplating also using YouTube, Twitch, TikTok or Podcasts to bring you more Rabbit Hole of Research. What do you think?
I know this year has been crazy, but are you looking forward to any holiday traditions? Email me and let me know!

Romance by Mayumi Cruz
Description:
A sheltered billionaire heiress.
A mysterious, protective stranger.
A serendipitous love story borne out of a tragedy.
Megan Montecillo’s peaceful life suddenly turns upside down as she finds herself the target of a murder plot and accused by her own kin of crimes she never committed. She stands to lose all the wealth she inherited, and worse, suffer in prison for life.
Unexpectedly, she receives protection from a secretive but skillful Richard Peterson who made it his personal business to save her and clear her name of all charges.
Richard’s shady, suspicious background aside, wild sparks fly between them even as their personalities clashed.
Scared and alone with no one to trust, Megan has no choice but to depend on him and his four friends, who look up to him as their ringleader.
All together they find ways to evade the killers on various occasions as Richard and Megan struggle to come to terms with the strong physical attraction they feel towards each other.
But what if he is exactly the kind of man Megan is running away from?
Will Megan survive with her life and wealth—and heart—intact?
Set in the Philippines, follow Megan and Richard as they roam the streets of Bonifacio Global City in Taguig, hide away in a suburban Laguna rest house, escape to a private luxury resort in seaside Zambales, and finally, come face to face with death in an exclusively private island estate in the middle of the Sulu Sea in Northeast Palawan, realizing that they have a common bond that brought them together.
ESCAPE TO LOVE is a no cliffhanger romantic comedy adventure with a crime/suspense twist about two people from very different backgrounds whom fate has destined to meet out of a tragic serendipity. This is Book 1 of MEET THE PETERSONS Series.
MEET THE PETERSONS Series follows the adventures and misadventures of Richard and Megan, from their first meet-cute/disaster encounter to falling in love, to getting married, to pregnancy, and beyond. Intertwined with their romance are humor, not-so-cozy mysteries, relationship ups and downs, and whatnots!
