It has been awhile. And for good reason. Not only did my second book release in March, but I stepped into (more like fell into) one of the biggest developmental editing projects of my entire life. Even from future books. I’m clocking it. Nothing will ever compare to this experience because it was the firstContinueContinue reading “Writing news: Lemonade from lemons.”

Writing news: BIG updates
Confession: I think the hardest part of this whole “writing a book” thing is the part where you have to read your story a million times once developmental and line edits are done. I’ve also learned it’s a really good gauge on where the story stands as it nears the finish line. If I stillContinueContinue reading “Writing news: BIG updates”
Writing news: Did I really write two books this year?
Because it’s been a few months since I’ve updated… A little potpourri of things. First and foremost, I want to thank everyone who grabbed a copy of Daughters of Legianne during the Indie Visible Hauntfest sale and my Holiday Special sale. It’s still a surreal experience every time I sell a book. And it looksContinueContinue reading “Writing news: Did I really write two books this year?”
My debut novel is ON SALE!
Hello and good morning on this chilly week of Hallows Eve. Or, hello, hello! I come from a super small town, and live in an even smaller town, so I know a plethora of ways to greet. And it’s a habit that I don’t know as though it’ll ever be broken. (For real) Anyway! DaughtersContinueContinue reading “My debut novel is ON SALE!”
Writing updates: It’s a lot.
Whew. Life really, well, lifed this summer and it left me with little bandwidth for extra. Which meant, I fell behind on a lot of things – like updates and newsletters. THANKFULLY not writing and editing. So! Let’s dive in. Unraveling updates: The Unraveling of Covens has been tweaked, adjusted, rewritten in a spattering ofContinueContinue reading “Writing updates: It’s a lot.”
Writing news: Like a coin toss.
Confession: I picked my title based on how it looked on the cover. When I built the cover for Daughters, I also built the covers for the remaining books in the series to make sure they all flowed well together while also fitting what was happening on the pages. So, while ROC2 lost it’s firstContinueContinue reading “Writing news: Like a coin toss.”
Writing updates: Drafts, titles, book 3
The first draft of Realms of Covens No. 2 was wrapped… uh… super early. I’d mapped a deadline on my end for June 15. Between the massive re-write/mini-developmental edit of the first 50k words that resulted in me just flat out “yeeting” 30k words, and being back in my previous department at work, I figuredContinueContinue reading “Writing updates: Drafts, titles, book 3”

Writing news: DOL in bookstores and Book 2 updates
Daughters of Legianne Well, shucks. I sat down and had a drink with my self-doubt yesterday. It had tried, so hard, to convince me that I wouldn’t sell even one copy of Daughters. Yet, I did. 40x over in the first week after my “Surprise!” release of it on Amazon and across all digital bookContinueContinue reading “Writing news: DOL in bookstores and Book 2 updates”
Writing news: Pub Day!
This morning, with the help of the amazing Hayley Anderton, I surprise released my book, Daughters of Legianne. The game of Ring-Around-the-Rosies with KDP and their lack of knowing what happened, or even how to remedy it drove me into a wall. In my day job, March is always the month were I’m able toContinueContinue reading “Writing news: Pub Day!”
