As a brief (warning) introduction: I’m participating in the A-Z blog challenge again this year, and again on the topic of the series I’m in the midst of writing. One of the self-reflective things about writing Red Slaves is the opportunity to weave in a sub-plot about culture clash. In the first book, Anne notices … #AtoZChallenge – A is for American
Today, my good friend and crit partner Fiona Druce is celebrating the release of her debut novel. So a group of us decided to join the party to push her out into the world in style. The original plan was to hop around the first release date she’d been given. Unless there’s a time-warp, we’re … Sass, Snark, & Serendipity – Aces Wild Release Day
I’m at almost the mid-point of my Business Law class, and got to spend my WHOLE weekend figuring out how to write not only a legal brief, but also a response to the case in question. I feel like it broke my brain, and I once again spent a lot of time ranting about how … The Legal Mind and Moral Ambiguity
I’m still surprised I managed to turn out a novel in the middle of all my class obligations–and even more surprised that I’ve not only picked up a new plot bunny, but also made progress on a novella that is on KKP’s slate for release next month. I can’t make any guarantees I’ll actually finish … Touring, Writing, and Schooling, oh my!
You will very shortly be heartily sick of seeing my name around the interwebz, as I’ve signed up for a virtual book tour through Book Monster Promotions. Over the next few weeks you’ll see me at these fine locations: 3/16 – Book Monster Reviews 3/17 – Jocelyn Dex Blog 3/19 – Beach Bum Reads 3/20 … Book Blog Tour – Blood to Fire
You’d think it would be exciting: I finished all the editing and formatting and have submitted my third novel to Amazon for vetting and publishing. Instead, I feel … tired. My class this session is heavy lifting about ethics and law and requires a 5-7 page paper on a weekly basis, on top of class … Publication Day?
For some reason, this week all my plans went on pause. We keep having these annoyingly substantial snow storms that require both of our efforts to dig out from and sap our energy for anything new on the creative front. Another one is on its way tomorrow. I would have hoped that my mid-semester break … Snowstorms and Pauses
This year, I actually have a few days’ advance notice on Read an eBook week–and I have eBooks “in the wild.” 😉 So I’m following my publisher’s advice, and participating. Starting 3/3, the eBook version of my novels will be available at Smashwords at 50% off. If you visit the book page of any of … Read an eBook Week
Tonight, despite the blizzard outside, the cockles of my heart are blazing: I Haz Cover Art! One thing I love about indie publishing: It allows me control of imagery and branding for my books. And Gayla is awesome to collaborate with in the process of refining graphic ideas and how they might play in our … Cover Reveal: Blood to Fire
Strange week, in which a couple meteors made the news–one of them in the same region Blood to Fire takes place. So the picture on the right floating through my Facebook timeline seemed too good not to share. After all, it could well be that a massive fireball is only the more common explanation compared … Meteors, Waiting, and New Projects
