It’s been two months since last I posted. Crazy how time flies. Especially since I was lucky enough to get to visit old family friends in Germany to stand up for their wedding. It had been … decades since I’d last been there. On the one hand, there was so much that was familiar, on … Feed Your Mind
I should really have learned by now to be very, very careful about making plans. I’ve always laughed about the old truism that “the best way to make the gods laugh is to tell them your plans,” and yet it’s consistently played out as actual truth in my life. In the current circumstance, a tooth … Detour Ahead
I observed another birthday recently. I’m glad I no longer have that date floating out on random social media; being private with that information makes those who remember without those reminders feel more authentically connected. So I’m marching inevitably closer to the half-century mark of my life and am glad to say I’m more committed … Another Year Wiser
The print version of Planet Seekers – Team Alpha is live on Amazon, closing out the last of my tasks for that book. It’s part of the Review Roundup tour, though the novel portion of that online event won’t kick off for a few more days. If you’re interested in getting a review copy, you’ll … Cover Reveal: Planet Seekers – Team TaoRuti
It didn’t take as long as last time to write and release my next book, and I’m really proud of the work it represents. My editor even granted me the high accolade of two chapters earning “this is a good chapter” comment. Without further ado, you can find it at most retailers online. I’m still … Book Release: Planet Seekers – Team Alpha
One month flies by faster than usual these days. I’ve been working to ignore the calendar, because I’m waiting for my editing letter… It could arrive any day, and means I’ll be heads-down once more working toward a deadline. The easiest way for me to ignore the calendar is to read. I just went back … So Many Things
The funny thing about finishing the first draft of a book is that in the immediate aftermath, it kind of feels like you’re on vacation. There are no more deadlines and you’ve finished the work that you can… at least until you get your editing letter and start digging through all the suggestions to make … New Beginnings
It’s been an unusual weekend. I finished writing my eleventh book, even meeting the deadline I’d arranged with my editor for its completion. And, as my brother’s wife and daughters are traveling, he and his son asked us if we would binge the director’s cut of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. We agreed. We … There and Back Again, Again
While I’m working hard on finalizing my Team Alpha manuscript this month, my blog might have been echoingly empty, except that I met the fabulous Lorna Suzuki on Twitter a few months back. Last month, she ran an interview with me, so I jumped at the chance to return the favor. 1. You’ve lived an … Author Interview: Lorna Suzuki
It’s been a productive month; I think the choice to reduce my blog check-ins is paying off. Traffic has only dropped off slightly, while my ability to produce new fiction has increased dramatically. Since my last post, I’ve added 8,428 words to my WIP. If I average 600 words per day through the end of … Meaning in Life
