Writing

  • Sigh

    I have bronchitis. It is awful. After days of coughing, I feel like someone beat me along my backs and ribs. The cough is a little better since yesterday and all the meds I was given but still a little rough. Right before I got sick, I had an epiphany with the book. I made…

    September

    This month has been a weird one. Busy and hectic with countless moments of celebration due to the fact that all of us share a birthday month. As fun as it was, I’m glad to be done and grateful I have a year to rest before the next birthday extravaganza. We went apple picking last…

  • Writing

    Some days writing come easy. Others it’s a fight from beginning to end. Yesterday was a fight. Today is a little easier. I don’t have a lot of things to share. If you’re interested I was featured on Ilona Andrew’s blog yesterday. It’s pretty cool when you get recognized by an author you’ve been following…

  • Hard Bargain

    Someone suggested a snippet of the current work so they could assess for themselves whether Ember’s level of snarkiness is merited. 🙂 Behold–the bargain. “My apologies, xxxx. It’s just I know how difficult these are to hunt.” Sure, he did. He wasn’t questioning her prowess or honesty. Nope, never that. Through an act of will,…

  • Back from Vacation

    It’s the first day back after a week in Florida with my family and my sister-in-law’s family. It rained a lot which meant there weren’t as many beach/pool days as I’d hoped, but we had a lot of family time. Lots of laughter and food and rainy day activities. Overall, it was a great time…

  • The Weekend

    I have a whole list of things I should probably be doing today but very little motivation to do any of them. At least yesterday I was productive. I managed to finish formatting the manuscript for Botanical Mischief and wrote the introduction for the world so that new readers aren’t completely lost. (A surprisingly difficult…

  • Is It Friday Yet?

    It’s felt like Friday since like Tuesday. That could be because the household was once again sick, necessitating several doctor/er visits. Luckily, no hospitalizations this time. (Good lord, the things that make me happy these days) I’m seeing a lot of questions abut the Gus serial. Just so you know, there won’t be any more…

  • Business as Usual

    When the Astra descended from their sky aeries for the first time in hundreds of years, it was to demand those on the ground fulfill the covenant of their ancestors. No one expected the level of chaos and turmoil that would follow upon the refusal from those who made their homes on the ground. For…

    Back at It

    It’s been a hellacious few days. Probably some of the worst in a really long time. Both children ended up in the hospital again for bronchiolitis. The eldest had a three day PICU stay. As dire as that sounds, things are on an upward swing. Everyone is home and on the mend. It’s sunny out…

  • Friday

    No Gus chapter today. I got Lasik eye surgery yesterday and I’m still adjusting. The words are just a little too glowy for me to want to work for long periods. In other news–I’m getting a lot of questions of whether Gus will be turned into an ebook/physical book. The answer is yes to both….
