Apparently, I AM supposed to be a part of this. I got tagged by not just Ripley Nox, but Jesse Pearle and Gina Drayer. Sorry ladies, my head has been directly up my ass the last few weeks. So without further making of excuses, I shall Blog Hop! 1) What am I working on? Lots […]
This has been a day for short stories and fight scenes. First off, I am about to have Sam and Dean fight a wendigo. The story I’m publishing on Thursday, The Hunt at the Haunt, is also a short story. And this morning, I got a great critique on another short, although the fight scene […]
The best part of being organized and ahead of schedule. When something trips me up, be it second degree burns from my wrist to shoulder or going toe to toe with my depression, I can keep plowing ahead. How far ahead am I this month? I just have to upload the text Wednesday. The cover […]
Still not up to my usual daily word count, but I made progress on that parody. Unfortunately, I had a massive time slip due to my being depressed. It just occurred to me this morning that I publish in four days and I don’t have a blurb for the next story. I’ll get it done […]

Which sounds backwards, I know. But sometimes, that’s just how it goes. One day, I’ll the plot whole, with […]
I gave myself a tiny break to celebrate my fifth wedding anniversary, but that’s over now. Today’s checklist includes finishing the copy editing on the short that’s getting released on May 1st and getting the latest novella ready for beta reader consumption. Then I need to get to work on the cover. Since switching to amazon’s […]
And, of course, I just didn’t want to get out of bed this morning. It’s nearly warm and very sunny out. Laying there, listening to birds and the fan was too nice. But eventually the real world calls, especially on publishing day. This month’s offering is Hunted Down. The fifth of seven stories set in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. […]
I talked about long term planning earlier this week. Well, last night I may have blown my plans. I have a series of shorts and novellas.
