Last week, I posted about all the work I’d done remaking the covers for the Ebb & Flow series books, including the freebie short story Heart and Home (which you can sign up to receive on my free story page), and I posted the covers. And then, based on further feedback, I decided those covers READ MORE

Whew, that was a lot!
This past week, a well-known and well-respected male/male romance author took over an hour out of her day to chat with me on Facebook Messenger about how to improve my books and thereby, hopefully, improve my visibility and sales. I’m not naming her here because I don’t know if she would want me to. Among READ MORE
New Cover!
Now that I’ve sent out the newsletter cover reveal for Storm and Shelter (Ebb and Flow 3), I wanted to share the cover here too. I’m pretty happy with this cover, especially the necklace on “Quinn.” That necklace is actually mine; I took a picture of it and used the GIMP graphics program to clip READ MORE
Grumble Grumble Book Blurb Grumble
I’ve spent the past couple of days struggling to write the blurb (a/k/a book description) for Storm and Shelter, which is book 3 of the Ebb and Flow series. The first draft of the book is complete and I’m working on some rewrites now prior to editing, and I want to put it up for READ MORE
I’m Thankful for Werewolves
(NOTE: This was originally posted on my Facebook profile on March 1, 2025.) With everything that’s happened in the U.S. in the past couple of days (well, since January 20, really), I’m extremely thankful for werewolves. Yeah, that paragraph is a bit tongue in cheek. Anyone who knows me, knows I have a bit of READ MORE
A Love Letter to My Childhood
The book I’m currently working on, which is book 3 in my Ebb and Flow series (a spin-off of Real Werewolves Don’t Eat Meat that takes place primarily in Nova Scotia), is rapidly becoming a love letter to the summer cottage my Canadian grandparents (my mother’s parents) owned until I was 14 or so. I READ MORE
Still Writing
I live in the United States. By now, I think everyone in the world knows what’s happening here. I’m privileged to live in a “blue” state, i.e. one where policies tend to be relatively liberal and actually in the best interests of most residents, but even here we’ve been seeing signs that the “executive” orders READ MORE
There’s Something In My Eye…
I’m currently working on the first draft of Sorry About the Seitan (Real Werewolves Don’t Eat Meat 8), and yesterday I wrote a scene that almost made me cry. I guess it’s good if I can elicit that kind of reaction in myself; it might mean my readers will like the scene too. I can’t READ MORE
It Was a Long Week…
When I’m not writing books, I work at a daycare center. I’m usually only there about 15 hours a week; my job is to cover the lunch breaks of the full-time staff. But this past week, due to staff members being on vacation or out for other reasons, I worked 26 hours. Which doesn’t sound READ MORE
First Draft Done!
In October, a week or so after I released Ebb and Flow, I started writing the sequel to it, which is tentatively titled Life and Time. Yesterday, I finished writing that sequel! I think that’s one of the fastest first drafts I’ve ever done. And I’m pretty happy with the story, though there are a READ MORE
