Changing for the Better

I turned 51. Can you believe it?

Yes, I’ve grown and changed over the last year, and I am thankful that I was given the chance. God is good.

I’m prepared for people to reject my life choices, but I’m so grateful, I can’t keep it from changing me and who I am.

I have accepted Jesus as my savior.

To make a long story short, Jesus carried me through some suffering, carries me through. I realize that I want to spend eternity with him, and also, carry his love in this life with me, always.

I know how this sounds to those of you who are not Christian. I understand, because I was just as you are. And, if you ever have any questions, even the tough ones, I am willing to have discourse with you. Any time. And, to be clear, will never condemn you for who you are, Jesus wouldn’t and neither will I.

So, now that I have confessed my love of Christ, you might be wondering, what about the stories?

Good Question.

There are very few things I know for certain. God is love, Jesus loves us, love is infinite, and I’m a writer. Even if my stories are never read by anyone but me and my editor. I’m a writer. It is how God made me.

There will be some minor changes. But, good changes.

The romantic in me has always believed in soulmates, monogamy, and lifetime commitment. It’s just that I believe in God’s instruction. Intimacy is better after the lifetime commitment.

As for the stories I write, I will continue to write butt-kicking action, delicious romance, and true intimacy.

So, look forward to the next book in the Aurora series. Nolan is so HOT!!!!.

Oh, and Bunny is begging that I work on her comic… So, there’s that too.

Oops I may have given something away.

Also, the art is not my art, I got it from The Chosen website. I loved it so much I wanted to share. https://watch.angelstudios.com/thechosen

‘Life is not what not…’

To quote Sixteen Candlea.

So so much has been happening.

I’ve released issue #1 of the Evil Bunny comic. If you missed it at DragonCon, don’t worry, I will have an online store soon….hopefully. (fingers crossed).

I also, just got back from Dragoncon. Besides having post con depression… I’m super excited about all of the people I met and talked to. I had an absolute blast! And, yes, your feedback is heard, and appreciated. I endeavor to be better.

I’ve also been told to update my website more…. which is really good advice. The thing is, I’m not nearly as interesting as the tales I write. I mean, I’m just a writer, who games, and has a small zoo. However, that doesn’t mean I can’t update the website.

I have plans.

Art

Deleted Scenes

More Bummy Content

Tales from my Zoo

Maybe that’s something to look forward to. And, yes. I am working on the next book in the Aurora series. Oh oh, and Priestess should be on audible by years end.

Who am I? I’m Tiffany Easterling, paranormal romance writer, and soon to be BLOG aficionado.

Sure, Why Not…

When I decided to independently publish and create my own publishing company, I had no idea that people would identify with the ever elusive evil bunny. I mean, I know shes cute, all women… bunnies are. However, I didn’t expect her to have appeal. Even more so when people understand who she is.

Cute, cuddly, and kind of evil.

So… Because of popular demand, Evil Bunny will be getting her own comic.

For funzies, I’m going to share a sneak preview. Also, because I’m excited for this project.

Happy New Year

I hope this blog finds everyone happy and healthy. This year has been a year full of good, and difficult things. I say this hoping 2022 will be less difficult. Although, I’m typing this blog overtaken with a cold that has turned me into a snot factory. I’m gross and had to share.

However, I do have lots and lots exciting things coming for the new year, but before I do that let’s talk about my most recent release…

Can we take a moment to talk about Nick Gallagher. For real, he has the sexiest deep voice. I couldn’t have found a better voice actor to narate Genesis Spell. After listening to hours and hours of his voice I have a major crush. I’m pretty sure anyone who listens to Genesis Spell will feel the same. Seriously, go check out Genesis Spell on audible. Not only is the voice actor crush worthy, but the story is good too. I have that on good authority from the feedback and reviews I’ve received.

What’s in store for 2022???

That is a really good question. I have plans. Lots and lots of plans.

It has been suggested, since I have developed an obsession with my playstation, I should get a twitch account and stream my game play. I’m considering this. However, I suck. I die a lot. I talk to my game as if it will replay back to me. I make stupid decisions that get other people killed when I play in a party. And, while I do like scary games, I jump scare easily. I am the target audience for scary game story creators. Anyway, this is something I am considering. I’ll let everyone know if it becomes a thing.

I have vowed and signed in blood, that I will increase my social media presence. While I will not be posting videos on YouTube. (If you saw those videos, you know what a disaster that was.) TicToc may be more my speed. I should update my twitter more, but every time I log in I find the toxicity of Twitter seeping into my brain. However, I am thinking I should post more on Facebook, even if it is a dying platform, and for sure update my website more frequently. If there are any other social formats I should consider, let me know what I’m missing.

So, now to the good stuff. Evil Bunny may be getting her own… thing. I don’t want to go into it too much because it will ruin the surprise, but be on the look out for Evil Bunny’s debut.

I’m also planning more in person events, hopefully. So, I look forward to meeting more readers and romance fans.

Lastly but also on my first of my priorities list. I’ll be working on book two in the Aurora series. It’s hot, sexy, violent, and action-y. All the things you’d expect in a good book, or at least I do.

That’s about it for now, but I promise I will update again soon.

Who am I? I’m Tiffany Easterling fixing to be super busy romance writer.

The Empire is Expanding.

I never thought this day would come. I mean, what do you do, when a dream starts to come true. I mean, I just cant even, right now, because I’m so excited.

Okay, okay, okay, enough about my feels.

I am super excited to announce that J. M. Cavender had joined the empire, fiesty, fluffy, awesome, that she is. And yes, she bites.

You can check her out here:https://www.turnanotherpage.org/

J. M. Cavender’s book, Blood of the Forgotten will soon be available for purchase…. but I don’t want to spoil all of the surprise…. because well… that is a surprise.

Just know, there are now two Evil Bunnies. Cute, cuddly, and we like to bite.

Who am I? I’m Tiffany Easterling, the OG Evil Bunny.

Writing, Editing, Marketing, and Long-Covid update.

Firstly, I must apologize for not updating sooner. I had good intentions to do so, but lacked follow through.

When I actually sit down to write, the first choice is always a book. I subconsciously completley disregard my responsiblity to update my blog.

I’ve had a lot going on, which led to an existential crisis. My crisis made me question whether I wanted to continue to pursue publishing.

I know, me of all people. I’m the one that loves spending the day lost in my own head creating characters, scenes, worlds… books. How could I consider quitting?

Well, sometimes opposing forces are… debilitating.

I had/have outside forces effecting me. One of which, has made a huge change in my life.

I considered not publishing what’s happened, because public opinion is varied and can be… bitter. But, I think I should explain for two reasons. One, so you understand what is going on, because I have neglected you. Two, in case there is someone else out there going through the same thing. You are not alone.

So here’s what’s happening.

As most of you know, in December of last year, I had Covid. My symptoms were mild comparatively. I never got a fever or a cough. I had cold aymptoms, loss of smell, and spent two weeks in bed due to overwhelming exhaustion. When I got better, I thought that would be the end of that.

As it turns out, I was wrong.

Since Covid, my body has not been the same. I have not been able to go back to the exercise regimen I had established pre-Covid. Also, I’ve been experiencing a myriad of side effects, including sudden onset exhaustion, joint pain, migraines, cheat pains… and the liat goes on. These symptoms got so severe that I ended up in the ER. After being tested to make sure there were no blood clots that could cause severe damage, I was diagnosed with long-Covid.

There is a myriad of issues with long-Covid, the most if which is, that doctors do not know how to treat it. So, at best, only the symptoms can be treated. So, now I’m faced with a chronic illness that causes extreme exhaustion.

Well, in the interim, I’ve been trying to finish a book and keep up with marketing. Also, I have a full time day job. It was all just too much, keeping in mind I absolutely hate marketing. Ad to that my dismal sales, or should i say non existent. (I’ve gone two months without making a single sale.) This lead me to my existential crisis.

Do I want to keep pursuing publishing? Why not just write as a hobby and take that pressure off of myself? I’d experience more joy without the pressures of marketing, right?

After some very serious soul searching, I came to this conclusion. I cant quit writing, ever. It’s part of me. So much so, it’s like needing air.

I dont want to give up publishing either. You know, maybe the dream changes and I just publish without hope of ever having a large following. Maybe, I never get to a point where I get income from my works. Most importantly, maybe, I hire a marketing professional.

So that is where I’m at, facing a chronic illness… but unwilling to give up the dream of sharing my imaginings. Also, now in the market for a marketing professional.

I do want to take the time to thank those of you that have read my work and those that have left reviews. Thank you seems to small of a word for how appreciative I feel. Thank you.

Know that I will be releasing more works in the near future.

Thank you everyone.

Let’s Talk About Covid.

I never thought I’d need to have this conversation. I wear a mask. I avoid crowds. I wash my hands until they are raw. I’ve been in self isolation since March.

I still got Covid19.

I’ve been watching Covid19 spread from China to the reat of the world since January. I’ve been scared of all this time. And, now I have to say something that is going to scare you, reader.

You’re probably going to get Covid19.

I know. Take a deep breath. I’m not trying to scare you. It is important to face reality. Covid19 is highly contagious. Masks and isolation will not protect you.

I want you to be prepared because there things you can do to boost/support your immune system. And, for whatever reason we are not talking about them.

So let’s start this conversation by talking about vitimin d, specifically vitimin D2/D3.

Did you know that vitimin D2/D3 has a huge impact on your body?

Lack of vitamin D2/D3 causes immune deficiency. It also slows down your body’s natural healing process. Cuts and bruises will take longer to heal. Colds and flus will last longer. Just as important, low vitamin D2/D3 can cause depression and anxiety. True story.

In relation to Covid19, there are studies that have shown that almost 99% of people experiencing complications with Covid19, besides having comorbidities had a low vitimin D2/D3 to start with.

In short, what I’m saying is, start taking vitamin D2/D3. To be clear it won’t prevent Covid19. It will boost your bodies immune system so you can better fight its effects.

I want to talk about a touchy subject, morbid obesity.

This is a very real issue. I’m not saying your, ugly, lazy, or worthless if you are morbidly obese. I want to talk about this because… because I’ve lost someone I love very much due to complications of morbid obesity. I know your a worthwhile person and I don’t want anyone else to lose the way I’ve lost. So, let’s talk about it and the complications it causes related to Covid19.

Morbid obesity effects every organ in your body, making them work harder. So, if your body is over taxed and Covid19 happens, you’re more likely to suffer serious side effects. Breathing, heart issues, and stroke are most likely to occur. There’s this whole science about how Covid19 causes blood clots, that then causes these issues. This reaction is more prevalent in morbidly obese people.

I know, I really know. Food is an addiction. We as a society don’t discuss it. And, I really know, excersize sucks. But, know that I too have this struggle. I will say that in the last 8 months, I’ve lost thirty pounds because I’ve made lifestyle changes. I really and truly believe that if I had not, my Covid19 recovery would have been worse.

I’m not asking you to deny yourself, starve, or over exert yourself. I’m asking you to consider lifestyle changes that would be advantageous to you. I’m asking that you love the people that love you enough to NOT put yourself at risk. Because, trust me, if something happens and they lose you, they will be devastated and the world will be sadder for your loss.

You’re probably wondering what my sources are? Or am I just blowing hot air out my butt? There are some good sources besides the standard media rhetoric. John Hopkins, Mayo, and Medcram on YouTube are the primary ones. I’ve simplified what I’ve learned because I want people to know that they can participate in their own healthcare. I want to have open discussion about healthcare and Covid19, not just the fear mongering that has plagued the media.

I truly hope that Covid19 becomes a thing of the past, but I do not feel that will be done easily. So I wanted to share what I’ve learned because of my Covid19 experience.

Who am I? I’m Tiffany Easterling. One of the millions that tested positive for Covid.

About Dragon Con

As most of you know, DragonCon was essentially cancelled for this year due to safety concerns. They are having an online event You. can check that out at dragoncon.org.

I’m going to be sad about this for some time. Truth be told, after serious consideration, I had already decided to roll over my table to 2021. It was still a hard decision, and it’s even harder to hear that the event was cancelled all together.

I love DragonCon. The 24/7, 5 day geek-a-thon, (I say this with affection because I am a geek) with all the costumes, panels, gaming, vendors, mech wars… the list goes on and on. Mostly, I think I will miss the people. There’s a comradeship that happens there that cant be explained. People in your fave fandoms become your new bestie after spending an hour in line with them. And, you can spend hours talking about things that happened at the gaming table. So much fun.

Rest assured, I will be at DragonCon for 2021, peddling my brand of cheesy, scifi, romance.

In the meantime, I’m revamping my marketing plan. I think I’ve got some exciting stuff planned.  I’ll be posting that later.

Anyway, that’s really all there is to update. I’m still following quarantine guidelines so I’m spending a lot of time at home, playing video games and writing.

Just for funsies, here’s my lazy cats enjoying their quarantine.

Who am I? I’m Tiffany Easterling, a little sad science fiction romance writer.

Lip Gloss and Hair Dye

I know I haven’t updated in a while, but I had to get through a thing… and I did.

When I got through it, I found myself in quarantine.

Admittedly, quarantine is very lonely. I miss my friends, Julie, Angel, Jessica… I’m talking to you. And, I miss being a bad influence to my kid. As much as I miss them, I don’t want to be anyone’s Ground-0 for the Wuhan-covid. So I stay away, like a sad lonely bunny.

On more exciting news, I got an email verification that my lip gloss will be delivered today, and my hair dye will be delivered Friday. Yes, I’m shallow. I like to look good even when I’m by myself—but that’s not the point. The point is I’m getting hair dye and lip gloss soon. I’m ridiculously excited about it. So, I thought I’d share.

In the meantime… I am working on the re-launch for Priestess, with updated cover. I cant wait to show you the sexy that I’m gonna be adding. Suffice to say…. deeeeeaaaammmmmnnn.

That’s all that is going on with me. I’m kind of boring. My books are way more exciting. I’ll talk more about my current project next post.

In the meantime, check out the view from my office window.

Every Day Cosplay Fun

So I’ve had an idea, mostly because I want too, but also because why not.

Why don’t I/we/you do an everyday cosplay week? You know, that cosplay you can wear every day, that only fans or other cosplayers will recognize.

How about next week, Feburary 10th through the 14th.

Yes I know it overlaps with valentine’s day. I just think it would make it that much more fun.

So here are the rules:

You can participate in one, or all 5 days.

If you have a job or other obligations that require a dress code, you must style your everyday cosplay to follow that dress code. Seriously, your boss isn’t going to believe that the ‘Evilbunny made me do it.’

Any form of fandom cosplay will he acceptable. It can be something as major as a complete outfit, or as minor as a button to represent.

I’ll be representing my own fav. Fandoms. And, I’ll be posting pics on both Twitter and Instagram. If you participate please tag me @evilbunnyempire on both instagram and twitter.

Let’s be crazy and cool and wear every day cosplay.

Who am I? I’m Tiffany Easterling, romance writer, and average every day cosplayer, at least for next week anyway.
