August pretty much flew past me. I’m more than ready to get the second series going. Don’t get me wrong I love Uncommon Animals, but I’m ready for new stories. Tonight or tomorrow, I’ll have Succubus ready for publishing, and then boom baby! The publishing train gets going again.
An excerpt from my short story, The Hunt at the Haunt. Free right on Amazon! Sonja curled her hands into fists when the locks on the thick metal door finally slid into the wall. The door scraped on the across the concrete. “Hello?” “Hey Sonja, it’s George. Dunno what happened, but the door’s stuck. Damn […]
I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by. –Douglas Adams Okay, I haven’t actually missed a deadline, but last night I sat down to proofread Succubus and ended up reading a draft of Hedge Doctor, my YA series that I’m not publishing for months and months. Why the procrastination? […]
And some of you are thinking, “What’s the big deal about a review? Aren’t you supposed to get them?” And you’re right, but I haven’t. Well, I have. Some of my friends and family have been very kind and left reviews. This is a stranger. Someone who doesn’t know my characters, or world, or who […]

A friend recently said that self-publishing feeling like selling one book at a […]
My husband is out of town for next few days. So I am or may not get more writing done. On the one hand, it’s just me and the kids. On the other hand, they have to start practicing going to bed early and getting up and ready to start their days (no more lounging […]
I am amazing at procrastinating. I know most people would consider writing my daily blog the night before the opposite of procrastinating. The kicker is that it’s supposed to be a daily exercise. Now granted, I give myself one day off a week, but I’m also digressing to make a point. I don’t want to proofread. […]
Today’s scene comes from Hunted Down, Part Five of the Uncommon Animals series: “Hey man, get up. Let’s go for a run.” Rick’s boisterous voice bounced around Matty’s bedroom. The white cinder block walls silenced the outside world, but anything inside them was magnified. Matty rolled over and buried his face in his thin […]
And I can actually say that for once. My insomnia has finally passed. Twelve hours of sleep later, I feel chipper. Seriously. And some good news! Amazon now has a pre-order option for indie publishers! So TA-DA! You can pre-order Succubus! The Steel City has never been colder for Rick and Mina. On the […]
