While my betas and crit partners are tearing through Last Call, I’m working on the Red Witch. So there I am last night, trying to get some work done. I’m dithering, playing more than typing. And suddenly, BOOM I have story. I’m cutting and pasting from old chapters. I’m filling in blanks. Before I knew exactly what […]
It’s May the Fourth, and I’m a huge Star Wars geek. I have The Phantom Menace playing already, and my husband and I just finished a long discussion on accidental racism and representation in media. (Note: I don’t agree 100% with the comedians in those videos, but it’s a great place to start the discussion.) […]
The Steel City has never been colder for Rick and Mina. On the rebound, they’ve spent the last three months doing nothing but sparring and killing monsters. In an attempt to break out of their rut, they decide to spend the night dancing and boozing at a club. Unfortunately for them, the succubus was there […]
Yes, yes, yes. Tomorrow you can snag Monsters of Pittsburgh: Succubus, for free. But as for today, I’m doing a quick proofread of Last Call, trying to find some weak spots. I’m super ahead on Hedge Doctor thanks to my grammar guru. I should have the ebook loaded to Amazon a few weeks ahead […]
It’s gorgeous here, today. Sunny, warm, just a hint of a breeze. I can’t concentrate on writing, so I tried on my graphic design hat. I tried making a facebook banner for Hedge Doctor. It’s off, and I can’t see why. Plus, it looks grainy. Might have to save it as png instead of jpg. But really, […]

I spent my morning working through notes on the Red Witch. I’m super fortunate to find a grammar guru who loves my work. So, as she’s plowing through the Red Witch, I go along behind her, cleaning up my mess and clarifying what was explored during The Haven. And unlike my novellas, I’m not as […]
Got all of Uncommon Animals updated with all the new links. Today I switch over to Monsters of Pittsburgh, None of this is hard, per se. It’s just tedious. And it would a lot easier if whatever plant that triggered my allergies would stop flowering. I feel like my nose is about to explode off […]
As always I have so damned much going on, but I realized this morning, that I really needed to get some maintenance work done. For one thing, my podcast is about to launch. and I’m six weeks out from the start of the web comic. I need to start updating my 16 ebooks with the […]
I’ve a good blog week. I know because I’m obsessed with checking my stats. How many views, and where to they come from, etc, etc. This week, a few people read some older posts. Being obsessed, I read what they read. And I noticed that all winter I was worried about being behind on critiquing […]
