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: 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: 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!”
Writing news: Pre-orders are happening!
… Better late, than never, right? Although, I need to note that no, no pre-order availability via Kindle. After working several days with KDP on the issues, we were able to get my book back UP onto the bookshelf dashboard. The scheduling issues was still present with the paperback, and now showing for the KindleContinueContinue reading “Writing news: Pre-orders are happening!”

It will also be available on many of the library borrowing apps to help increase access to my book. I opted for what I felt was the best,ContinueContinue reading “Buy Daughters on eBook”
Writing news: Bad luck better than no luck?
“When will pre-order be available for your book?” WELL. About that… When I had all of the formatting, publishing, marketing of my book land in my lap after the press closed I was going to use, I didn’t panic because I do some of my best work under extreme pressure. And two months to releaseContinueContinue reading “Writing news: Bad luck better than no luck?”
Why the imperfect ARC?
I read my very first advanced copy about a decade ago. It was a Nora Roberts book that I managed to “win” in a giveaway from GR. Across the front when it came was a note about how this book was not quite yet in its final stages so there may be typos, grammatical errors,ContinueContinue reading “Why the imperfect ARC?”
