I try to plan in advance what books I’ll be working on and when. If you’ve followed me for any length of time, you’ve probably noticed that those plans often get changed. This is partly on me. Sometimes I bite off more than I can chew, so to speak, and plan too many projects in READ MORE

Blurbs
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.

2023 In Review
2023 has been over for just past a week now. Last week, I talked a little about what I have planned for 2024. Now I want to take some time to celebrate what I did in 2023. I released two Real Werewolves Don’t Eat Meat novels. Even though the original plan was to release three, READ MORE

One More Week…
Of not working full-time, that is. On Monday the 18th, I start my new job as a preschool teacher’s aide. To the best of my knowledge, this is a full-time job (I’m still waiting for some final details from the school and staffing agency, and I have to admit I’m a bit irked/anxious about not READ MORE
