on Reading and Writing and All the Speculation In Between
I’ve had a lovely 5-day staycation… that ends tonight. If you’ll remember, last week I had thought to start a micro-NaNo effort to push further on book 3 of my Red Slaves trilogy. The sharp-eyed among you will note that I have made progress–though only a fraction of what I’d intended to accomplish on that…
I had planned a heavy dose of writing my first week of school break, right…? Guess how many words I wrote last week? 743. That’s a far cry from the 15,000 I had planned to produce by now. <headdesk> On the other hand, I’m super-proud to announce the successful completion of my editing job: Gayla’s…
Another class bites the dust… and I’m halfway through my MBA program. And I just completed all the courses required to finish the marketing concentration. Through week 7 grades I even managed to maintain my 100% average, so even if I completely bomb my last assignments (which doesn’t seem likely), the lowest I’d get would…
I’m happy this week to be pimping out my crit partner extraordinaire, Sabrina Garie, who has just released her third stand-alone book in the past two years. She writes for the Ellora’s cave imprint, which specializes in erotic romance… and her stories will curl your toes. 😉 Her latest offering, Thirteen Nights, looks to be…
Amazingly, I succeeded in dragging myself through the week after returning from my latest trip to visit my mom without having to take off any additional time–and getting some things DONE. Like posting our old iPhones for sale on Ebay. I’d forgotten how much fun it is to have something up on auction and having…
I’m writing, tonight, from my mother’s house, a several-hour flight from home. The house remains in a state of upheaval, as we work to get her settled in a functional, cozy space that meets her needs. Unfortunately, that means we’ve had contractors hovering, adding insulation, tile, lights, electrical outlets, and all manner of other small…
In the immortal words of Carol Anne Freeling in “Poltergeist”… “They’re heeeeere!” Amazon and Smashwords have pushed the files live and the collection of short stories that makes up Hallow’s Eve Triptych are now available for purchase. <pauses a moment to SQUEEEEEEE!> As I said during my Sunday ROW80 check-in, these stories pushed me closer…
It’s midterm week again. I comfort myself with the knowledge that I just have one more year of classes to finish this MBA, but for now, the difficulty remains in finding enough hours in the day to do all the things I need to and want to do. For this week, that meant zombie-fication: I…
Last night I got the gift of my latest cover, so today… I’m sharing the love with everyone else! 🙂 I’m in the final rounds of editing and tweaking this set of three short stories, and have tentatively decided release day is 11/27. Mark your calendars! 😀 Together, the collection is me pushing my own…
It’s that time again: One of my online author friends has released another book. This time it’s the second in a series, the first of which, Even Villains Fall in Love, I reviewed last year. Here’s the blurb to what looks like a great follow-on tale: When your mother is America’s Superhero Sweetheart and your…
