I’m publishing, because I’m always publishing. Once a month, a novella or a short comes out in my name. And because I write a series, I am always on the look out for new readers. It’s imperative to me that people who don’t know the series can pick up any volume and follow that story. Anything […]
The problem with being a pantser (someone who doesn’t outline a story) is that I get stuck sometimes. Usually my stories just flow. I’m writing action-adventure tales mixed with drama and humor. Mostly, I just need to think up a monster and let things work themselves out. My characters are strong and pretty good at […]
Yes, it is that that time of year again. And really, I’m super stoked. I LOVE this holiday! But, I’m really, really glad I don’t have a ton to do writing-wise this year. Last year, I decided to start the Uncommon Animals series in December. I had no cover, just an idea for one. This month, […]
This week I’m posting from my YA trilogy, Hedge Doctor. Jeff Hansen is a witch with the green touch, the ability to grow plants. His green touch is exceptionally strong though. He can not just grow plants, but enhance their medicinal and magical abilities. He practices his art on monster hunters, people who can’t get […]
I am six feet of Christmas cheer about to descend on you! Yeah, I love the holidays. And since I’m fairly positive that Black Friday is a societal cancer, devoid of everything that makes this time of year wonderful, I spend mine decorating and making cookies. So very, very little writing is going to happen […]
For perhaps the first time in my life, I am thankful for Snow. Being the baker at Thanksgiving means I went to town today. Two pies (apple and pumpkin), banana bread, prepped a bread pudding for tomorrow, and made a pound of fudge. But a heavy snow fall had the kids outside despite school being cancelled, […]
I’m doing the listen through this afternoon at 12:30 EST. Wendigo just needs the listen over to be ready for publishing. And I usually have some funny to say, even it’s just giggling over the silly robot voice.
For both Thanksgiving and to publish Wendigo. I’ll be live tweeting as I listen tomorrow afternoon. Always my last step. This one is just pure fun. If you’re a fan of the show Supernatural, you’ll probably start crying from laughter. Or just cry. I might suck after all. But Turkey Day is almost here, […]
This weeks scene is from my short story Wendigo: Sam stared at the matte black beauty in front of him. He ran a hand along the sleek lines as he spoke. “1965 Mustang. Automatic?” “Four speed.” Dean’s eyes grew warm as he walked around the car. “Bucket seats, dual exhaust, and all the original leather […]
I gave up last week. I tried, but between writer’s block, depression, illness, and just being a mom, I fell behind and couldn’t get back up to speed. Meh, Nano is fun, but really, I have to keep my eyes on the prize. Which is keeping far ahead of my publishing schedule. And I’m doing […]
