Busy, Busy, Busy

Still working on the opening for the last Mina and Matty series (untitled). I should be able to finish it today… or tomorrow… Sunday at the lastest. It’s already pretty long,  but that’s because there is a lot going on. I have much ground to cover. Not just my plot, but introducing my world to […]

Melodrama

The bane of my existence and biggest fear. I like drama (mixed action and comedy). I like putting my characters is  bad situations and making them work for their happy ending. And I am WELL aware how easily that can slip into melodrama. When pathos becomes just plain damn silly. Usually my betas can (and […]

Inspiration and time

It’s funny how it works. When I had time, I had no inspiration. Now that I’m living based on the alarms on my phone again, I’m suddenly writing up a storm. The good news is that I’ll have lots of material for publishing if I have to go back to work. The bad news is […]

Sheepsquatch

Publishing day came and went. Succubus had a better opening day than anything else, which is gratifying. Building an audience takes time, but I think I’m actually doing it. So now my attention switches to Sheepsquatch A ‘real’ cryptid from West Virginia. I took some liberties, because I do, but I choose this monster because […]

We be live!

It’s September 8th and that means publishing day! 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 […]

Saturday Scenes

  This one is from Succubus. You can pre-order it on Amazon and it comes out on Monday! *** Mina circled Rick. Their reflection in the mirrors made her think of the usual David and Goliath, night and day comparison. Mina was no taller than her brother. Their heads didn’t clear Rick’s shoulder. She was […]

You know what?

September should not be the hottest part of the damn year. I should be looking at  hoodies not tank tops.  Yeah, I’m sweating over here. This is no fun. Regardless, I need a project. I’m never happier than when I’m drafting something new. With any luck, I’ll have an idea in the next few days. […]

Back on Schedule

I went to bed at an almost decent hour last night, got up more or less on time, and had the kids ready to go 30 minutes early.  Yes, it’s back to school! A few minor differences. The baby is doing half days in the morning, instead of the afternoon, so I’m going to be […]

Insecure Writers Support Group

  Ooof, running super late today. Usually I get my blog post out before noon, but tomorrow is the first day of school. My husband took the day off to let me sleep in (something I will not be doing for months.). Once we were up, we were off. Which kind of leads me to […]

Ready for school

As ready as I was for the school year to end, I think the summer lasted about two week too long. Just two more days of summer vacation and I can have a truly clean house again. It’ll be great. Six more days and Succubus will have a preview on Amazon. Well, you CAN pre-order […]
