Sometimes writing a blurb is harder than writing the actual book. The blurb is the little “description” that appears on retail sites and on the back cover of a paperback. It’s meant to attract readers to the story. Which… isn’t easy. Back in the day, when I was working with publishers, sometimes I had to READ MORE

Progress and Process
For far longer than I anticipated, I’ve been working on Bring On the Broccoli (Real Werewolves Don’t Eat Meat 7). I wrote a draft that took me over 3 months to complete, which is nearly twice as long as my drafts usually take, and then realized that that draft was mostly unusable. There wasn’t enough READ MORE
New Month, New Projects
Well, technically one of the projects I’m currently working on isn’t new. After spending a week going through my universe bible (the document in which I try–and sometimes fail–to keep track of all the details of the world in which my books are set, plot points of the books, characters, and so on) and previous READ MORE
This Week Is Hectic!
This is a hectic week, but hectic in a good way. Thursday is the official release day for A Fighting Chance! I put this book up for Kindle preorder on April 26, and on May 9 it will release for Kindle and paperback. I’ve been making some tweaks to my release schedule going forward. Take READ MORE
Available for Preorder!
A Fighting Chance (Chance Met 2) is now available for Kindle preorder! The book will release on May 9 in Kindle and paperback formats, and will be available through Kindle Unlimited. This is a sequel to Chance Met, which was released in March 2023. I had hoped to have A Fighting Chance out in March READ MORE
New Project Underway
After going back and forth with myself about it, last Tuesday I started a new book. Bring On the Broccoli (Real Werewolves Don’t Eat Meat 7) picks up about three months after Tempeh for Two and Take Some Tahini (both of those books take place in the same month). It’s in Kyle Slidell’s point of READ MORE
I’m Moving!
In three days, I’m moving to a new apartment. This is a good thing; the new place is larger, quieter, and in a much safer area than where I’m currently living. But it is putting a bit of a cramp in my writing and promoting. Especially since in TWO days, Hooch and Howls officially releases! READ MORE
Hooch and Howls Preorder Is Up!
On Leap Day, I put my historical M/M/M novella up for preorder! Hooch and Howls was originally published in 2012. When I looked through it with an eye toward rereleasing, I came across one scene that completely made me cringe. The original concept of the story was that the werewolf, Malachi Powers, was affected overly READ MORE
My Next Releases
Last week, I blogged about the book I was worried I wouldn’t be able to rewrite in time to release it in May. I’m not quite sure how I pulled it off, but I did the necessary rewrites in one DAY this past week. An 11-hour day, but still, one day. So May’s release will READ MORE
Release Schedule Changes
I’m still fine-tuning things. The advantage of being a self-published author is the flexibility to change my release schedule as needed. The disadvantage of being a self-published author is that I’m the one who has to make those changes. Hooch and Howls will be out on March 14, as previously announced. That book is nearly READ MORE
