On December 1, my first book in 4.5 years launched! De-Termination (Quarter Life Book 2) has entered into the world as we know it. This book was originally supposed to launch in October 2016, and I apologize sincerely for its delay, but I'm in a much better place now to launch it than I was … Continue reading De-Termination (Quarter Life Book 2) has launched! #booklaunch #newrelease #vampire

Brandi Carlile Rabbit Hole #ROW80 #NaNoWriMo
So many rabbit holes this week, but the one I'm super excited about is Brandy Carlile music! It's my new favorite station on Pandora to write to. My kids are so tired of be "playing music" on the TV instead of television shows for them. I keep telling them it'll make them smarter, but I … Continue reading Brandi Carlile Rabbit Hole #ROW80 #NaNoWriMo
ROW80 Update #ROW80
Good morning! I've been working hard (kind of). I've actually been resting a lot too. I had surgery last week, and recovery has been slow. Here's my mid-week update on what I've been doing. For marketing, I'm learning about Amazon Ads, I'm looking at blog tours and a release event for De-Termination which is coming … Continue reading ROW80 Update #ROW80

We're back to it! This may be the fastest I have ever written, but De-Termination is rapidly coming to an end for me. I have three chapters left to write today and the novel is done. I'm already at 101,000 words, which I've written in less than three weeks. But alas, today is WIPpet Wednesday, … Continue reading A bittersweet turn #WIPpetWednesday #WIP #AmWriting
There’s Something Peculiar About #Trauma
I'm currently writing a novel that has a lot of trauma for one of my main characters happening within it, not only that, but it is very clear she has experienced similar trauma before. There's something peculiar about trauma for sure. Trauma changes us. It changes the way we think and the way we behave. … Continue reading There’s Something Peculiar About #Trauma
Long time no type…?
It has been a long time since I have truly ventured into the world of writing and publishing. I wanted to be sure in my last foray into it that I was going to stick with it. I'm glad to say it's been about a month now of me writing consistently, well mostly. I had … Continue reading Long time no type…?
A break and some refocusing #ROW80
Well, I just got back from the SO's graduation, and wow, it was busy busy busy. So needless to say, I got not much done. However, I wasn't getting much done on my goals before that. I realize I need to reevaluate a bit and then hunker down and do some work. A few things … Continue reading A break and some refocusing #ROW80
Big Bird Mania #WIPpetWednesday #ROW80
Hey all! So I've taken it pretty easy this past weekend. After finding out a friend died on Friday morning and finishing my novel that same day, I really just needed a break from life in general, so I took it easy. I didn't write for two whole days! *gasp* I know! That never happens! … Continue reading Big Bird Mania #WIPpetWednesday #ROW80

Hello all! It's evening here, and I'm writing this post early, but I normally do. I have internet tomorrow, so I should be able to keep up with everyone's post throughout the day. Yay! To cut to the chase. I've been writing a lot lately. I haven't quite managed to write every day, but I … Continue reading Disgust in One’s self #WIPpetWednesday
The troll under the bridge… #WIPpetWednesday
Hello all! It's been 4 weeks since I've posted last! Insanity, I say! Well, I'm back and I'm ready to post. It's also been awhile since I've written. Talking with my publisher last night has instilled in me the need to write yet again (although, it might have been instilled before then, but it's going … Continue reading The troll under the bridge… #WIPpetWednesday
