I’ve been trying to write this post for what seems like weeks now and I still have no idea what to say. In a year that’s been so devastating, bewildering, and just plain exhausting what else is there to say but good riddance? I know I’ve pretty much crawled back into my introvert cave and…
Seems to be something I’m saying a lot lately! I hope you and your loved ones are all staying safe and healthy! Wow! It’s been a while! All I can say is with the virus going around and quarantine…time has become something of an abstract construct, don’t you think? I’ve kind of retreated into a…
What a year it’s been huh? I can’t believe how quickly it’s gone, not only the year but the entire decade! For a year that felt slow, at least writing-wise, I’ve written over 300k words, which includes three full length novels published with another accepted (and chosen as Editor’s Pick!) to be published in the…
Hi all! Several authors at Evernight Publishing have gotten together to attempt a blog challenge in an attempt to get us out of our collective shells. Every Thursday we have a new prompt and the goal is to try and post every week for the entirety of 2019. I’m certainly going to try! This week’s…
I just wanted to wish you all a wonderful new year! I hope you see and do things you’ve never done before and that everything you strive for is within reach! 2018 felt like a slow year for me, so when I looked back at my stats to see what I’d actually done, I was…
Sorry I haven’t been around much. But I have a good reason I swear! I’ve been locked in the ol’ cave writing up a storm! All will be revealed soon! In the meantime I hope you all have a wonderful Valentine’s Day!
Well, dear readers, another year is done and dusted! It’s been full of ups and downs, hard work and fun. Personally, it’s been a busy one behind the scenes. I helped with the creation of a game and renovations on the house have come along by leaps and bounds. I even managed to get a…
Woo! The Long Way Round series is now available in print! If you’re looking for quick satisfying stories about strong women and sexy men who won’t take no for an answer definitely give these books a go! Blurb: Three friends–Cara, Natalie and Chelsea–with three different lives. Sometimes they’re on top of the world. Sometimes they…
I’m sure 2016 is a year that will be remembered, if rather infamously, as the year we lost too many beloved stars, people lost their collective minds over the thing du jour only to forget it minutes later for the latest outrage, politics around the globe hit a new level of crazy, and most recently…
After hinting about this on twitter last week, I got the go ahead from the publisher to start writing so I wanted to share with you! First a little backstory: With the Totally 5 Star imprint winding down I found myself in a bit of a quagmire. Not because I don’t have ideas. I’ve got…
So far this summer hasn’t been all that great. At least not in terms of the weather. I’m wishing I was in the picture above rather than the weirdly grey, but humid, but cold, but not confusion that is what I’m experiencing now. Sins in the Sand is doing quite well and I managed to…
As usual, I’ve recently had an avalanche of ideas. Thankfully, the ideas have at least a little something to do with what I’ve been writing lately. As the image above might have given you a clue as to what I’ve got in mind. Two stories. One set in the ultra-modern, super-hot, fast paced city of…
Well, July was a hectic month. Between writing a new book, promo articles, synopses and proposals for new books and trying to keep up with my daily life I’ve felt a little harried. Now that everything except contemplating new stories to write and catching up with work around the house I’ve been neglecting, I can…
Well we’re about half way through July now and it’s been a killer for me. The heat, for one, is something I equate with torture of the highest level. I do whatever I can to avoid it and blaring sunshine. It gives me headaches and just puts me in a tailspin so it’s just…
So I opened up the latest BTS Book Review magazine (July/August, Issue #28) and had a flip through before getting down to work (or at least some semblance of it while I melt in the heat). But as I perused and jotted down titles and names of authors I wanted to check out I found…
So last night I finished up an intense round of edits for my upcoming release. I don’t think I’ve ever read, analysed, written and rewritten so furiously ever! It was stressful and I had to block out just about everything else but it felt GREAT. Being so focused and productive was wonderful since I’m usually…
So here are a few pics from my recent trip to London. If you follow my Instagram you’ve probably already noticed lol! I had a fabulous time meeting up with a long time friend. We took in a few sights, museums and galleries mostly, and wandered around aimlessly the rest of the time. Definitely have…
So I finished the WIP yesterday and sent it off to my editor early (YAY!) but now I’m kinda floating in limbo. I have so many ideas for new books, so many books I’ve already started and haven’t had a chance to finish, and books full of old ideas that have never seen the light…
Since my last post about the story coming together, I’ve overhauled it yet again. Literally tearing it apart and putting it back together in a new sequence of scenes that I hope (fingers crossed) will finally work for me and my characters. I can’t remember a time I’ve had so much trouble with a story….
If you can’t guess from the title of this post I’ve been busy lately. Crazy busy. And it’s been great! Edits have been finished for ‘Grind’, the second book, ‘Ignite’, is finished and in the hands of my editor, the third book is half way done and I’m writing a proposal for the next series…
*Spoiler Alerts* Game of Thrones has been in my TBR pile for years. Yes YEARS. I just never seem to have the time I need to devote to a story so vast. I’ve made a few attempts to start but from the moment I read the first paragraph I knew that I had to focus…
Wow it’s been a long time! Things on my end have been hectic, confusing, and just plain crazy. But things seem to have settled down now and that means I can get my head back in the game. So get ready for some new stuff from me!
You may have noticed a new logo gracing the right side of the blog. That’s right, I and several authors from Contact – Infinite Futures have joined forces with Felicia Day, Tim Daly, Dark Horse Comics, Think Geek, Joss Whedon and many others to support Can’t Stop the Serenity. Check out the books we’re donating!…
Caprica is a science fiction drama television series. It is a spin-off prequel of the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica, taking place about 58 years prior to the events of Battlestar Galactica. – Wikipedia First episode: January 22, 2010 Final episode: November 30, 2010 Network: Syfy Why on earth did it take me so long to watch Caprica?…
I’ve been stewing over this since I stayed up until 3am last night hate reading a book in the hopes that the hero would redeem himself. Red flags started to fly the moment I started reading the book. It opened with the hero seeing a picture of his ex-mistress and he proceeds to expound on…
So I’m looking for a new place to live and have been looking around online to see what’s out there. As I expected there are a bunch of places I would never consider. There are the places that I would love to live. And then there are the places that I can only dream about…
For me 2012 was a year that had a few breath-taking highs and a lot of devastating lows, even then I’m still a bit sad to see it end. There were so many amazing things that happened this year. Among numerous examples, we watched as a rover landed on Mars and a man jump from…
Like the title says here are a few things that have dragged me away from writing lately. Written by a Kid I love how kids create stories. The fact that absolutely NOTHING is impossible to them makes the tales that come from them incredibly entertaining. The folks at Geek and Sundry have tapped into that…
Remember when the words ‘summer vacation’ were synonymous with ‘long lazy days’, ‘zero responsibilities’, ’being totally carefree’? Well those days aren’t even a speck in the rear-view mirror anymore. At least not for me. Juggling work and family and the stuff you can’t plan for doesn’t leave much time to laze about. Going into this…
Hi to everyone visiting from The Romance Reviews! Good luck!
So I’m writing this post offline because my internet has gone down and I have no idea what to do with myself. I mean, I could clean but the place doesn’t really need it. I could write a scene or two and then add them to Google Docs later but I like to reread what…
I’ve been knocked on my butt by a migraine today which left me with not much to do but think (very little) and swear (very much). So today’s post will be a collection of links that I thought were worth sharing. LIAR’S GAME was released yesterday! WOO! This is what the Carina Press Newsletter had…
So here I am. On my thirty-*coff*something*coff* birthday staring in awe at my book cover. I still can’t believe in a few short months I’ll be published. And by an amazing publisher to boot. A lot of people have these crazy stories about their path to publication. Mine is fairly simple. I started, like most…
