So I’ve started the finale for the last set of Mina and Matty stories, and I got an idea an other funny short. I got some words on paper today and promptly put it aside to work on the covers for my Hedge Doctor series. *sigh* Yes, I’m procrastinating, again. I swear I’ll get the damn […]
Yup! It’s a publishing day! So I have a scene from Wendigo for everybody! *** Dean pulled the Mustang into the post office parking lot. “That’s the phone.” Sam grunted and picked at his teeth with his nail. The silence stretched out, but Dean didn’t know how to break it. Sam stared out the window […]
Comes out tomorrow! Though you can pre-order it from Amazon. This story has a story. And it starts with the original Mina and Matty story: The Hunted. See, I was writing something for a competition, and I desperately needed names. So I stole them from a friend’s book, with permission. So Sam and Rick, became […]
Seriously, I have not written one word on that last story in a week. I tried changing the POV, a tactic that has jumpstarted more than one of my messes I’ve tried editing other stories in the cycle for inspiration. I’m about to start critiquing my friend’s stuff, just to take my mind off of […]
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, […]
