So I swore that for 2023, I would get my “year in review” post done by the end of December…and then it didn’t happen. Oops. Sorry. But, to be fair, a LOT happened and even more new and exciting things are in the works for 2024! First, the recap: 2023 was the year of eight […]

This past Wednesday was the 11-year anniversary of this blog/site, which is kind of crazy to think about. I definitely had no idea what I was doing back then (not that I have much of a better idea now), and while there have been times when I was only posting here sporadically, I do love […]

Sometimes I wonder if I’ve started repeating blog post titles. Then I remember I’m coming up on the 11-year anniversary (!!!) of this site and I’ve decided not to let it bother me. Okay, so! As of my last post about a month ago, I’d finished writing a book that had taken me on quite […]

The release of A Flame Among the Stars went swimmingly, which is always a good thing. Reviews are popping up on Amazon and Goodreads, and they’re largely favorable. As of right this second, I don’t have any additional promotional events coming up, but that can always change! As the saying goes, however, there is no […]

In addition to writing my blog posts on tropes, I have been plugging away at other things, namely the Disintegration series re-release. For the most part, everything’s been going smoothly, and I think I’m on track to release at the end of the summer as planned. As always, some things come with a learning curve, […]

I’m pleased to say I’ve reached the home stretch of Surrendering the Skies. I have one more chapter to go, plus an epilogue. And honestly, I’m not crazy about where my word count is right now, so I might wind up going back and adding in a few more things, but we’ll see where I […]

I’ve been saying to myself “oh, I really should write a blog post” for about the past week or so. Honestly, I don’t have a whole lot to report. Progress on Surrendering the Skies, Book 3 of the series I’m rebooting, is coming along nicely. I would estimate I’m somewhere between a third and halfway […]

I’ve mentioned a couple of times over the past months that the first publisher I worked with has shut down, all the rights to my books have reverted back to me, and I had to figure out what to do with them. I took my planned writing break following the completion of A Flame Among […]

Happy New Year! Okay, so the general state of “the world is on fire” hasn’t quite been put out. (I’ll make my statement of if you in ANY way support the terrorism and insurrection that went on at the Capitol last week, you can see yourself out now, and I won’t miss you. BYE.) Not […]

So, I think we’ve all realized by now that I’m not one of those people who is SUPER SERIOUS, ALL OF THE TIME about her writing. That’s not to say I don’t write serious stories, because I definitely do…I just frequently laugh at myself while doing so. To be honest, I often find people who […]

 (requisite reminder that Blazing Justice is available on Kindle Unlimited now!) Guys. Everyone. Y’all. Something crazy is happening. I am writing and I am writing fast. Well, fast for me, anyway. I know there are writers who crank out thousands of words a day and go back to edit them later, and I know there […]

In my last post, I made a short vague statement about revisiting an old project/idea, accompanied by a promise to write a blog post about it. You know how sometimes when you sit around thinking about something, debating all the pros and cons and everything, if you wait long enough, a decision is made for […]
