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 […]
Every writer has them. Words and phrases you use over and over. And as soon as you catch one and destroy it another one pops up. Yes, I spent last night writing sentences to get rid of one of my word tics. But Succubus is better for it and much closer to being ready for […]
Been working on Monsters, both editing and setting up the preorders. I’m hoping that readers being able to see when the stories will be publishing, in addition to having one completed series finished will help with sales. We’ll see how it goes. 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 […]
Yeah, I’m still staying up until 4 or 5. Last night I really thought I’d be asleep by 10, but no such luck. At the kids like having mom catnap on the couch in the morning. They are quiet they can get an extra 30 minutes of video games. On the writing front, I’m still […]
The weepies are mostly past, replaced with more than a little annoyance at the fact that I subscribe several tv/movie outlets but outside of Hook I can’t find any of my favorite Robin Williams movies to watch with my kids. Though I did watch Hook with them last night, and they loved it. Today I’m […]

Today Robin Williams past away and it’s been so surreal, it felt like it came out of nowhere… A text message from a friend made me aware of the news and frantically I jumped online to see if it was true. Sadly, I found out it…
