Getting to Know a Character

It’s interesting to me when I write how, no matter the amount of planning I do before I start, the characters always reveal things about themselves as I go. I didn’t, for example, know until I started writing the story that Bailey Griffin, one of the main characters in my current work in progress, would READ MORE

I Released a Book!

On Thursday, I released Return and Restore, book 4 of my Ebb & Flow series. In keeping with my usual struggles to figure out how to promote my books, I haven’t seen the response I had hoped for from this release. But people are reading it, and it’s gotten some glowing reviews, which makes me READ MORE

How I Spent My Weekend

On Wednesday night, I set myself the goal of spending the next 5 days (Thursday-Monday) going through the notes in the manuscript I’d just gotten back from my amazing beta reader and editing the manuscript according to the notes and to whatever I noticed that needed to be edited.

Much Ado about Muesli is live!

I haven’t blogged for a few weeks. Between the losses in my family and the holidays, it just…Well, I just didn’t blog. But I’m here today to say that Much Ado about Muesli (Real Werewolves Don’t Eat Meat 9) is now available! I released the book on Thursday, Jan. 8, and it’s already gotten a READ MORE

Rough Month

I’m glad December is almost over. This month has been incredibly difficult for my family, including two losses: My dad, as I blogged about a couple of weeks ago, and now one of the family cats, who had been with us for 18 years. I’ve managed to plug away at some writing and editing, which READ MORE
