Maintenance Continues

Yes,I’m still cleaning house. I gave myself one task a day for the next ten days. Today, I finally created templates for my newsletter. But after I did that, I got bored. So I went to work on my sequel to Hedge Doctor… and nope nothing. Don’t wanna. I opened up the lastest Chelsea Childling story… […]

Maintenance Continues

With Werewolves mere days away, it’s time for me to start cleaning the joint. Today was wordpress day. As you can see, I have the new header, and if you press the widgets button… TADA! I send you to buy my books! Because there can never be too many links to help you support my […]

Maintenance Week

Werewolves is turned in and as clean as I can get it. And because I was feeling ambitious I also turned in the Omnibus Edition of Monsters of Pittsburgh And so starts Maintenance Week. Every three or four months, I have work to do for the publishing side of the business, whether it’s making banners […]

Saturday Scenes

Working on one of my shorts: Missy Chambers kicked at the red and orange leaves as she waited for the bus back to her dorm. Soon enough they’d be raked and burned, but right now they smelled of autumn, and crunched under her sneakers. She loved Hyde Park in the fall. I can’t believe this […]

Same old, same old

It’s one of those posts. It’s one of those days. I’m working, same as I have been. Werewolves in due to Amazon, so I’m combing through it, as are a few other writers. Next week, I’ll listen to it to try and find the last of the typos. I finished not one but two Chelsea […]

Too cold to think

It’s almost -30 degrees here. I got my editing done this morning, and then turned my other projects… and promptly realized my brain was operating on auto-pilot. I could put in the corrections that other people suggested, but thought… yeah, I’m not capable of it. I’m gonna curl up with a mug of tea and […]

Postponing the freakout

One week until Werewolves is due to Amazon, and yes, I’m trying to stay calm. So far, I’m succeeding. Truthfully, the story is in really good shape. All I’m doing is clarifying. A word here, a phrase there. I was lucky to have a new reader pick it up,  and through it a few weeks […]

I’m looking for an artist

Although, in truth, I kind of did. See, I’ve always kind of laughed at the idea that I’m writer. Other people who pen stories get in these huge discussions about tenses, and Point of View, and adverbs… and then there’s me. I think I’m a storyteller before I’m writer. I care about my craft, yes, […]

Valentine’s Day Blog Hop

Catching Cupid *** The tapping on a keyboard woke Dean. He hated that Matty couldn’t sleep, but he loved having the man stay over, especially on Valentine’s Day. I’m turning into a sap. As Dean snuggled closer, Matty leaned an elbow on his forehead, eyes locked on the screen. “We have a small problem.” Laughing, […]
