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. After a conversation with my beta READ MORE
Many Things Happening
And as often occurs, that’s led to me not keeping up with blogging, though I didn’t realize it had been an entire month since the last time I posted! So, what’s been going on with me… I finished the first draft of Virtually Guarded, book 1 of my new Virtual Haven Pack series. This book READ MORE
Overwhelmed
Sometimes life is just a lot. I live with depression and Complex PTSD, which can make even a little feel like a lot sometimes, but then there are stretches like the one I’m currently in, when I have a bunch of different things I need to do and can’t seem to organize my time and READ MORE
This is why I write…
I was just checking the Amazon reviews of Much Ado about Muesli (Real Werewolves Don’t Eat Meat 9), and reader N M Harvey said this: “I love it when authors write about what people who have PTSD go through. I live with extreme PTSD, so to be able to read about others who live through READ MORE
I Love My Universe
On Monday, I started a new book. Specifically, book 10 of my Real Werewolves Don’t Eat Meat series. This one’s a little bittersweet for me. Originally, back in 2011-2014, RWDEM grew to a 5-book series. Book 5 was intended to be the final book, had a distant-future epilogue, and so on. And that book, published READ MORE
I Want to Write a Christmas Story…
I want to write a Christmas story.Naturally, because I *want* to write, my brain is like, “Nah, that’s no fun, here, have a blue screen of doom instead.” Because that’s usually what happens when I try to write a story that isn’t a direct part of one of my series. (And sometimes even when I READ MORE
So, here we are…
I haven’t been blogging recently because there have been a lot of things going on. Some good, some not so much. But also, when I sit down to do a blog post, or a newsletter, or even a social media post, I’m battling my own brain sometimes. Executive dysfunction leads to me sitting at the READ MORE
Almost Done…
As I type this, I’m about one chapter away from finishing the first draft of Much Ado about Muesli, book 9 of my Real Werewolves Don’t Eat Meat series. I probably could have already finished it, but this past week, between recovering from surgery (though at my follow-up appointment they said I’m recovering better than READ MORE
