It is the Friday before Thanksgiving here in the U.S. and a lot of things are happening. At last count I have three thanksgivings to prepare for which means I have to figure out something easy to bring for each since the twins aren’t likely to let me spend hours cooking. The first draft for…
Firebird 6 snippet for your Monday! Maksym made Raider jump as he popped up beside them. “What did I do?” “Don’t do that,” Raider scolded. “So sensitive. Do we need to revisit our immersion training again?” “Don’t you dare. I still don’t know why Wren sent you.” Maksym’s smile wasn’t entirely comforting. More like threatening….
The corners of Gus’s eyes watered from the yawn she stifled as the argument below escalated, pulling her attention away from her discomfort and exhaustion to the trio standing on the amphitheater sands.
Apparently, the book was coming along a little too well because the writing gods must have decided I needed a gut check and threw a pair of massive curve balls my way. Last Monday I was in my groove. I wrote my 3000 words. Good words too. Words I was proud of. The story felt…
Happy New Year!! I hope everyone came through the holiday season in one piece and relatively healthy. Maybe it’s because the twins are making me more conscious of it, but I don’t think I remember a past year where there have been so many illnesses.

At this point, I am existing on cat naps and the occasional legitimate length nap. I’m pretty sure beta edits are supposed to come back at some point this week. Maybe today. Or tomorrow. It’s kind of all foggy at this point. I’m not even sure what day of the week it is. I knew…

I have been keeping a small secret from everyone. Well not that small considering the upheaval my life has and will continue to go through. Earlier this year, the husband and I found out that I was pregnant. With twins, no less. This was very much a planned event. The pregnancy that is. Not so…
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…
For those of you who didn’t see the Facebook post last week, I finished the second draft of Firebird 5 last Wednesday. Just in time for the Husband and I to fly to St. Lucia the next day for a vacation we’d been planning since February. Having the draft done in time was one of…
