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 […]

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 […]

Remember a couple years ago when we were all going back to our old projects at critiquing our opening lines? It’s that time again! Writing/blogging buddy Krystal Jane recently posted her new collection, and someone on Twitter just asked about favorite blog posts, so here we go for Round Two. I’ll pick up where I […]

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 […]

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 […]

Because balance is everything. When last we left off, I was debating about whether or not to temporarily shelve Sonata for Springtime. (And, obviously, blogging about it instead of actually writing anything.) After some internal debate, I decided to keep plugging away at it. I did write maybe a third of a chapter or so, […]

I’ve finally arrived at the final chapter of my novella-in-progress (okay, there’s going to be a little epilogue, too), and as always, I’m sprinting toward the finish line. I don’t know what it is about endings that gets me to write faster. Maybe it’s because since I write in order, I’ve been thinking about the […]

So I’ve been hinting at my new project in the past couple posts, and it’s time to come clean. I’ve been dodgy because this is something new for me, and I’m determined to make it work. I’m about 5K words in (and I have a great outline, for reasons I’ll talk about below), and so […]
