Sheepsquatch in two days! I hope the title intrigues readers as much as it my betas. I had a lot of fun with this monster. Me though, I’m already prepping Talasam for next month. I want to tweak the cover a little, and I’m finally happy with content. Now it’s two weeks of […]
Yeah, I’ve been staring at the screen for a few moments, trying to think of something to write. Things are pretty quiet here. The kids are at school. Sheepsquatch is more or less ready to go. I’ll listen to it the audio tomorrow (and I’ll live tweet it), but really that’s for my peace […]
This… just this. The concept blew my mind this weekend. To me there’s a lot of truth here. At least, how I see my writing. Okay, stop, back up and explain. I’ve now written 15 stories with Matty, Mina, Rick, and Sam. Most of my editing is explaining actions and reactions to readers. Occasionally, even […]
Sheepsquatch comes out in three weeks. I’m surprisingly un-nervous. It took me a little time to get the ending right, but that’s not unusual. Finding an ending that both ends the story AND wants to make you read more is challenging. I usually end up revising all my endings extensively. But, this one is […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
I’m getting back on the publishing train. And I do like Amazon pre-order. Sure I kind of wish there was some sort of preview beyond the book cover, but people can see exactly when things are coming out! And I have deadlines that I have to keep! I like deadlines! So my busy time is a […]
Not a ton, but more than I have been the past few weeks. Tonight, I’ll be putting the finishing touches on Succubus, which is nerve wracking as hell. I normally LIKE waiting until the last possible second to catch typos and missing words. However, the pre-order system on Amazon wants some reassurances, so I have […]
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 […]
