I feel as though I'm completely jumping into part of the market world. I've signed and paid for my first ad to be placed (no, I'm not saying where or how much--maybe if it works or does work, there will be another post on that). I've been doing a lot of giveaways with eBooks and … Continue reading Jumping in, two feet forward

Excitement and more!

Ashes Fall and the end of the James Matthew’s Trilogy
Today is a day to be remembered! But isn't every day? =P I spent about six hours writing today and completed the novel "Ashes Fall" in almost record time. If you only count the days that I wrote during NaNo, it probably is. However, I started writing this novel in February.

Dying Embers: Take Two
I can't tell you how nervous I still get when emailing my publisher (or the fact that half the time I'm still in wonder about having a publisher!). I'm not kidding. My first book, FOREVER BURN, has been out since March 1, coming up on three months now, and it seems to be doing fairly … Continue reading Dying Embers: Take Two
On day two of your work being out on submission.
On day two of your work being out on submission.. This is me, quite simply put. Although, I'm not on day two...I'm on week four, with about five more WEEKS to go. *sigh*. I sent "For by Grace" into a new publisher for submission, and I am desperately waiting to hear back. The longer that … Continue reading On day two of your work being out on submission.
The Failure of Time
I wanted to share this blog and the struggles that I have been dealing with for the past "little" while. It seems over this past week to me that each person's story and struggle is important to understanding who they are and where they come from. It is also rather therapeutic for those who are … Continue reading The Failure of Time
Struggling Artist #indie
It's hard to struggle. I think that, and then at the same time I think that struggling just adds that much more to the story. I have officially been unemployed since December of 2011. That's sixteen months and heading right into the seventeenth. Yes, I currently work at a church twice a month doing children's … Continue reading Struggling Artist #indie
Forever Burn Collage
I finally put the collage together that I've been meaning to do. These are a few photos from people who bought "Forever Burn" and were kind enough to send me the photos of them holding it. I love the community, love, and care that this shows, and seeing all these smiling faces just makes me … Continue reading Forever Burn Collage
Good things come in small packages…
I just got home from one of the longest days at school. I'm looking forward to tonight and relaxing with a good friend and a great meal (that she's cooking for me!).

The Downward Spiral
So...I finished writing my 85k word novel yesterday in a massive rush of typing away during spring break and now...now I'm not sure what to do. Spending so much time on one project, where my entire focus is only on that, is fantastic but when finished leaves a very odd feeling. It's like a large … Continue reading The Downward Spiral
Book Lauch Party rehashed

Sales!
So, selling books is awesome! But... I sold a book to someone I don't know and that is way cooler! While the support from my friends and family is wonderful, to actually sell the book more people need to buy it than just them. And it's happening!!! So go buy on amazon or B&N. Amazon … Continue reading Sales!

Writing and Book Launching!
This world has been crazy the past few weeks for me. I am writing, though not on fiction (unless you are atheist, then maybe it's fiction to you). I am sermonizing. It's actually quite like writing a short story. I'll share it when I'm done. I'm also adding in music to it. Secondly, if you … Continue reading Writing and Book Launching!
