Treading Water
The book is pushing back hard today. I should have known bragging on Facebook about hitting word count every day last week in Aileen 7 would jinx me eventually. The morning wasn’t so bad. Just under my goal of 1000. However, coming back after lunch was a different story. For some reason, the words aren’t…

Announcement
There is a Facebook live tonight, Jan. 5, at 8 p.m. EST on my author page where I will be answering all of your book related questions. It’ll be the same set up as in the past where I take the generalized questions first. Those pertaining to writing, other series, future series, etc. Toward the…

Finish line
This last week has been a roller coaster. I think this will be the last time I schedule a release around Christmas. It’s just too hard. Pre-orders are fine. That’s not the issue. It’s everything else that happens around this time of year. I haven’t done any of those things. All of the gifts have…

Listless
I was hoping to start writing this week. So far I’ve not written a single word–excluding this blog. My brain has decided to take an impromptu vacation. It’s pretty much considered AWOL at this point. Every time I sit down in front of the computer, it’s like I’ve forgotten how to write. The words desert…

Sneak Peak
I just spent the last two hours trying to format Of Bone and Ruin for print. Everything was going fine for the first half hour. I got all the way to the end before I hit something that messed everything up. Then I proceeded to use the next hour and a half trying to undo…

What’s Next?
Firebird 5 (the title of which was decided on Friday) is now in the hands of the beta readers and my editor. It’s left me a bit at loose ends as I decide what I should do next. The first couple weeks after a book is finished and no longer on my plate is usually…

Book Update

the Horror
On Friday afternoon I discovered the cats had fleas. That morning I’d gotten up and noticed black dirt like stuff where Loki had been sleeping at the end of the bed. I thought it was strange and made a mental note to check her over later to see if she’d gotten into anything. It wasn’t…

Aftermath
The last two weeks have been a whirlwind. I am utterly and totally exhausted. We went from Dragon Con directly to Florida for vacation. I still haven’t decided if that was a good way to do things or not. On one hand, vacation. Yay. On the other, I feel so behind and am trying not…

surprise
I did a thing a few weeks back. I commissioned artwork for the Firebird Series. Part of it was because I wanted to create giveaways for Dragon Con later this year. A conversation I saw on the book community made me realize that the covers for the Firebird Series aren’t an accurate representation of Kira…

Last Snippet
When I was completing my final read through of Nightfall’s Prophet, I pulled out all these tiny excerpts to share with you. The original plan was to do the photos with powerful quotes like I’ve done in the past. Well, that didn’t happen because I ran out of time. I don’t know if it’s because…

Cats and Fridays
Friday did not go as planned. It started well enough. I got up, attended my Orange Theory workout class before returning and getting cleaned up. From there, I packed up my computer, headed to the coffee shop and dug 1200 words out of my brain. It was a pretty good pre lunch effort. I drove…

Friday Randomness
I’d planned to take today off since my writing week started on Sunday. Five consecutive writings days is usually my limit. After that, I need to fill the well again. Unfortunately, Thursday didn’t go to plan and I didn’t hit word count. Originally, I planned to make up the last 1000 words today and then…

The Blahs
With Aileen 6 off to the beta readers, the cover commissioned, and as of this morning the blurb written, I’m at loose ends for my afternoon. I’ve tried to summon the motivation to do something. Anything. But so far I haven’t been successful. Here are the tasks I’ve started–and abandoned–in the past few hours. Grocery…

Deleted Scene
Now that I am about to embark on the second draft for Aileen 6, I thought it was time to build a little excitement for the coming book. As promised, here is a deleted scene from book 5. It was the original beginning of Twilight’s Herald. I cut it for reasons I can’t remember, but…

I finished the first draft for Aileen 6 yesterday. The idea that this part of the process is finally at an end is taking some time to sink in. This morning I woke up at my usual time despite promising myself I’d sleep in. After breakfast and puttering around the house for a little bit,…

Happy New Years!
I don’t know about everyone else, but I’m not sure I’m ready for 2022 to be over or for 2023 to begin. This past year has flown by. I feel like I just got settled into the year and now it’s already over. Honestly, I kind of feel like I have whiplash. Perhaps some of…

Website Revamp
Last year I started redesigning my website. I got several pages made and even sent it to people for feedback before realizing it wasn’t what I wanted at all. I hated what I had created. At heart, I’m a writer; not a graphic or web designer. Writing is where I’m happiest. It’s also what pays…

Getting Better
I have survived the great wisdom tooth extraction. It wasn’t pretty though. I don’t say this often since being an author who dreams up fantastical situations, but it went worse than I imagined it would.  One of the things I learned about myself is that I don’t handle pain meds well. Like at all. I…
