Planning and Plotting

I’ve spent the past couple of weeks dealing with some personal life stuff connected with this time of year. It still hasn’t completely died down (tomorrow, December 1, is the anniversary of two very difficult events in my life), but I’m hoping things will even out and I’ll get through the end of November/beginning of READ MORE

It’s Been a Bit…

I didn’t blog the past couple of weeks because I’ve been going my second round of fighting pneumonia, and that’s made it a bit hard to think and function. I’m still not well, and it’s going to take a while before I am. But I wanted to blog in response to what happened in the READ MORE

With Bated Breath…

(And yes, I did spell “bated” correctly.) On Thursday, Oct. 10, I’ll be releasing Ebb and Flow. I am so excited about this book. When I did the edits, I was sad about finishing; I wanted to keep reading about Quinn and Malachi. Of course, to keep reading about them, I have to keep *writing* READ MORE

Long week…

I didn’t do a post last week because I was in the middle of doing multiple other things. Good things, but things that really required a lot of brain power. First, I got a new car. New to me, that is. (It’s actually nearly 10 years old.) This was vital, since my previous car needed READ MORE

Red Sun In the Morning

There’s an old rhyme that my mother (who grew up in a fishing town by the Atlantic Ocean) and my father (who simply found it amusing) taught me: Red sky in the morning, sailors take warning. Red sky at night, sailors delight. My dad tended to add “Red sky at noon, sailors play the bassoon,” but READ MORE

Ebb and Flow for Preorder!

I’m experimenting with different lengths of preorder periods for my books. When I started self-publishing in spring 2022, I was doing a one-month preorder, but I wasn’t getting orders. So I shortened it to two weeks. Which sometimes meant I got preorders, and sometimes not. (To be fair, some of the lack of preorders is READ MORE

My Executive is Dysfunctioning

Being neurodivergent, I have a brain that sometimes cooperates with me and sometimes doesn’t. The more I have on my figurative plate, the less my brain cooperates. Over the past week or so… it hasn’t exactly been cooperating. I’ve been deep in the thick of revisiting how I approach writing and publishing. Since I started READ MORE

Excitement!!

This past week has been an AMAZING week for me as an author!       First, on Thursday (July 11), I released Take Some Tahini. Releasing a book is a major accomplishment, and I’m proud of myself for getting this one out there.     Also on Thursday, I was notified that Fill the READ MORE

Release Week! and a couple of updates

This coming week marks the release of Take Some Tahini (Real Werewolves Don’t Eat Meat 6), the first never-before-published Real Werewolves Don’t Eat Meat novel since 2014! I’m both nervous and excited to see what readers think of the book. I first wrote it back in fall 2022, then in 2023 almost completely rewrote it READ MORE
