Since last checking in, the world seems a little bit less on fire, but not significantly so. Throughout the whole lockdown, I saw a lot of authors and fellow writing buddies posting on social media about how they didn’t feel like writing AT. ALL, and dude, I totally get that. Trust me, I do. And […]

(almost nailed the rhyming title, but not quite) Lately, it seems that all of my creative-minded friends have been talking about what new project they want to embark on. I would say something poignant and poetic about it having to do with the time of year, with spring just around the corner, and everything waking […]

The end is in sight for the current short story (which does have a title now, and no, it’s not what I previously posted). I think I’ll definitely be able to get the first draft done by the end of the weekend. Then comes proofing/editing, and I’ll see which of my friends I can sweet […]

So I’ve been plugging away at the novella-in-progress. Not as quickly as I would have hoped, but it’s moving along. I’d given myself the tentative goal of finishing the first draft by the end of 2017. It would have been a stretch, and I’m not sure I would have succeeded, but it was within the […]

In case you missed it (unlikely, I know), Seductive Suspect has been officially released. You can tell it’s official because it now has its own entry under the Books tab. 😀 They say the best way to promote your current book is to write the next one, so I’m happy to report I’ve finally gotten […]

While I didn’t hit my original deadline of finishing up Seductive Suspect by the end of February, I did get it done before the release of Mass Effect: Andromeda next week. We’ll put that in the win column! So that’s all taken care of, and I have another ten days to loaf around (and maybe […]

I don’t remember if I’ve ever mentioned it here before, but I suffer from chronic illness. Well, “suffer” probably isn’t the best word – I was diagnosed nearly 20 years ago (eep!), and there’s definitely been a ton of ups and downs. Lately I’ve been in one of those valleys, which resulted in a five-day […]

Happy New Year! Okay, I’m a couple weeks behind. I’ll be honest – while I do love the holiday season and it’s one of my favorite times of the year, part of me is really glad to be settling back into our usual routine. I was a creature of habit even before having kids, and […]

(Just a reminder – the Smexy Romance Blog Hop and Giveaway is still going on, so if you haven’t entered yet, don’t miss out!) Moving on…. I made it! With a couple days to spare! I finished writing Out of Orbit on Saturday night, so before my self-imposed deadline of the end of the month. […]

Happy March! It’s time to get my butt in gear and get. stuff. done. I am setting the goal for myself to have the writing of Out of Orbit done by the end of the month. It’s a totally reachable goal, one that would be kind of embarrassing if I didn’t reach it, but I […]
