Writing Relevance
You would think with COVID sending people into quarantine all over the world that it would be a writer's dream come true. No commute to eat up writing time? Maybe I can carve out writing time in between all the going's on for "working at home" and whatnot? Look at all that TIME! Sadly, this … Continue reading A Brave New COVID World
Life is funny. It's even ridiculous from time to time, and I take particular joy in placing such moments in my fiction. From Megan waking up to an unknown cat nestled against her, to Trenna obstinately reassuring her daughter that domesticity was never her strong suit, to my newest WIP where a stubborn dog gets … Continue reading Humor
A great many changes have occurred over the last couple of years and it seems that they are catching up to me now. The momentum that carried me through several novels has faltered and I find myself scrambling to get words on the page. This has, in fact, happened to me before and the only … Continue reading That Listless Place
Happy New Year! Normally I write this post prior to the holiday, but a bout with the flu bug held me back and I refuse to feel bad about it. Just seems counterproductive to start the year out with regrets, especially when you can't anticipate getting sick over Christmas. So! It's time for my regularly … Continue reading Welcome to 2020!
This month, we have been invited to post a snippet of our work in lieu of our round robin discussions. However, I don't have anything seasonally appropriate just yet. Instead, I am going to be brazen and shove a rough draft up here. This is from my current work in progress, which is tentatively titled … Continue reading Snippets and Things – December 2019 Round Robin
Faxon Mylonas showed up in my debut novel Sedition smelling of pipe-weed and lurking in the shadows around Kiavana Fortress. He was, on first blush, an assassin and a mercenary, and I only grazed his character in that novel. That in itself might not qualify him for the strangest character I have ever written, but … Continue reading Oddly Terrifying – November 2019 Round Robin
It seems that no matter how much planning I do, no matter how many times I revise an outline, the novel never goes my way. (FYI- Spoilers Inbound.) For instance, if I'd had my way then Johnathan Relo of the Tapped series would have died already. If you've read the novel then you know that … Continue reading When Crap Hits the Fan – October Round Robin
September 25th is fast approaching! Available September 25th! In case you were wondering, that's the official release date for my newest novel The Haunting of Tessa Pines. Which is perfect because as the title suggests, there are ghosts in it, making this time of year ideal for reading. I love autumn. I love the smells, … Continue reading The Haunting of Tessa Pines – Release Shenanigans
This month we're sharing excerpts of our work that relate to travel or vacation. And because I'm in the middle of a new work, you get a tiny taste of One Big Werewolf Wedding. The title is obviously in the works. And thanks to my stepmother, who requested I visit steampunk again, I have opted … Continue reading August Round Robin – Travel Teasers
Anyone who knows me will tell you not to ask about my writing work. The moment you open that can of worms you're in for at least twenty-minutes of me talking. I try to limit myself to twenty-minutes anyway, it's more likely you'll be stuck listening for longer. But I think I'm in good company. … Continue reading The Work In Progress – July 2019 Round Robin
