  IT IS DONE. I started my blog post of July 13, 2022, with that same exact sentence. (Yes, I actually looked something up!) A smidge over a year ago, I had finished up the actual writing of the Searching the Skies series and sent it off. Now, after editing and cover design and whatnot, […]

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 […]

I’m still happily chugging along on Elemental Forces. I passed the 20K word mark and have plenty of story left to tell. While I don’t have a firm word count estimate just yet, this is shaping up to be the longest book I’ve written in quite some time. Believe it or not, I don’t have […]

I’m too lazy to look, but I’m pretty sure I make a post every year about how I usually don’t get a lot of writing done during the summer. I am still plotting my next project, I’m getting The Edge of the Sphere ready for re-release by the end of August, and I’m also working […]

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 […]

Fire Beyond the Frost is still doing well, I’m happy to report. It’s fun to see what other people have highlighted! So I did wind up starting a new project after all. And…I like it. It’s fast-paced, exciting, and…dare I say it…FUN! Okay, maybe the emotional impact of this one won’t be huge, but it’ll […]

Which skills am I referring to with this title – my writing skills, my decision making skills, or a little bit of both? Probably both. Both is almost always an accurate answer. So I finally got back to Sonata for Springtime, which I started over a year ago, and then life got in the way. […]

A couple months ago, writing/blogging buddy Krystal Jane posted a graphic depicting a (real) conversation between Stephen King and George R. R. Martin. Save yourself a Google and go here to read her post. If you scroll down to read the comments, you’ll see me lamenting my similarities to Martin and swearing to be more […]

(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 […]

Since I last checked in 20 days ago, I did, in fact, finish the novella-in-progress. I’m wrapping up proofing/editing now, and then I’ll write the %#$&-ing blurbs, and then I guess it’s ready to ship off. Yay. As I mentioned in my last post, I’m not 100% thrilled with the pacing in parts. It is […]

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 […]
