It’s blurry, I know, but my short story, Hunting, hit #22 on the Kindle Short Reads list yesterday. So I’m pretty stoked about that. Still looking at different ways to market and get the word out, because the weeks between now and publishing the first Monsters of Pittsburgh story are pretty long. Anything can […]
So last night, 10 PM, I’m curled up on the couch, eyes closed, cat snuggled, and then boom, my brain snapped into alertness and I was up and going. I have no idea what is wrong with my head, but it appears to not be stopping for awhile. This happens and I just have to […]
All work and no play makes Kate a dull girl. All work and no play makes Kate a dull girl. All work and no play makes Kate a dull girl. All work and no play makes Kate a dull girl. All work and no play makes Kate a dull girl. All work and no play makes Kate a dull girl. All […]
August is almost here, and with it comes not just prepping for the start of school, but publicity for my books. And prepping for the next series. What it won’t have, is a lot of writing. There are days I wish trad publishing wasn’t a scam. I would love so such to just spend all […]
I futz with my keywords, submitted to review sites, and even got some editing done this weekend. I’m going to work on my blurbs this week, both for Uncommon Animals and Monsters of Pittsburgh. We’ve hit that patch of self-publishing that is not only boring to hear about, but boring to do.
In just eight weeks, my new series Monsters of Pittsburgh, gets off the ground. So in honor of the new series, I’m doing Free Book Fridays! Today’s book is Part One of Uncommon Animals: The Hunted The first of seven stories set in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Terry prided herself on blending into the crowd. She was […]
That’s the number of words I left to right to hit my Nanowrimo goal of 30,000 words. Unfortunately, I have about 6,000 more words until the story ends. Still, it feels good to be this close to done. It feels amazing to know that when I finish this story, I’ll have a year’s worth of publishing […]
I finished the second Jeff story yesterday. I’m two-thirds of the way done, and the final stretch is in sight. So I took my kids to the pool and then napped the rest of the day. Today, I’ll start to push myself and see if I can can’t get this bad boy written in a week. […]
I’m pretty sure that I have ADD. I know, I know, self-diagnosis is THE most obnoxious thing ever, but my oldest has been professionally diagnosed with ADHD, and my parents often chuckle when I tell them stories about his day, and usually find a similar story about me. So I think I’m on safe ground […]
So I’m plugging away, writing Jeff’s three stories at Camp Nanowrimo. The first one is almost done, but I’m also still getting critiques for Monsters of Pittsburgh. And right now, I’m at the most frustrating part of the editing process: Explaining world mechanics and characters quirks to new readers, while not boring the pants off […]
