My deadline for Hedge Doctor: Prom is coming up. It’s done. It’s been grammar checked by a friend who is way, way better than myself. Really, all I have to do is finish reading it out loud to the husband, the final step in eliminating awkward phrasing. But I could have done that any time in […]
Me and my projects. I have lots of them, but they’re all in the same universe. So even when I’m hanging out with Chelsea and Jackson, I’m still helping Marley and Edie. I switch between projects as need be, drafting, editing, and polishing in cycles. However, yesterday, I made a breakthrough on the sequel to […]
So yesterday, I’m all like, “Focus, bitches!” (The bitch is for emphasis!) I started the scene I need for my Hedge Doctor series. Worked on my book covers. And then my kid got sick, at the Mexican restaurant. So today, less focus, more ginger ale and crackers. But that doesn’t mean no writing. I’m hoping […]

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 […]
This is my free flash series, and it’s only available through my new newsletter, which is bi-monthly. The first story comes out on Friday, so sign up to read about Chelsea and Jackson. Moving on. I’m writing, just not what I want to be. In my defense, I do have a few (flash) projects that need to […]
This week I’m posting from my YA trilogy, Hedge Doctor. Jeff Hansen is a witch with the green touch, the ability to grow plants. His green touch is exceptionally strong though. He can not just grow plants, but enhance their medicinal and magical abilities. He practices his art on monster hunters, people who can’t get […]
