The second round of ROW80 has thus begun… just in time for my next class to kick off tomorrow. I’m doing it in style too: I discovered after my professor emailed a welcome that I had been idiot enough to re-purchase the textbook from last session when my eyes crossed at an inopportune moment and … Staggering Into Another Round
As you may or may not remember, a few weeks back I made the trek down to Chicago for the annual Printer’s Row Lit Fest… for a very good reason. My online friend, Justin Bog (remember when he stopped by this blog last year for an interview?), was going to be in town to speak … Friends in New Places
It’s been an interesting week, and since I like the Sunday check-in habit whether I’m in the midst of a ROW80 round or not, I’m going to share some of my recent facepalm moments. After six months of chasing my own tail, finally finding a contact point, and hearing nothing… I officially received a contract … Second Edition Fever
It’s an out-of-this world week for me, as I’ve released my latest story: Wytchfire. You have a chance to win it, or my scifi/romance novel, Dementional, as part of this bloghop. To whet your appetite, here’s a snippet: All these clues pointed to either a long-term hotel stay—or something more institutional… Maybe she was crazy … SFR Brigade Midsummer Blog Hop

So the Gandhi quote I found rather randomly online recently is feeling very close to my surface reality today. In fact, I was worried I was so fogged in over the … Not Resting on My Laurels

I got cover pretties tonight… So you get to share my excitement. Wytchfire will be here this weekend! 🙂 The super-short blurb I’m working from at the moment will be your next tease: Will she remember enough to save herself? Will she change enough to save the planet? Stay tuned…
It hit me this week: I’m already almost 1/3 of the way done with my MBA. I have one more week of assignments to complete for this class, and I get my first real break since Christmas. It’s done some to add to my giddiness, but my real happiness comes from being very close to … Eyes on the Prize
This week I got the critique back on my novelette, Wytchfire, and felt so stoked for the story, my happiness might have overflowed… My online friend Ciara Ballintyne sent out a call that Club Fantasci was looking for another reviewer. Since my editor, Dionne Lister, and the first person to review my first book, MJ … Piled Higher and Deeper
I’m halfway through the first session of this semester, which means another major assignment. Twelve pages, to be exact, on the nature of interactive and strategic marketing. Since I live this stuff at work, I figured it’d be easy enough. And, to a degree, it was… it’s the correlation with scholarly sources and combing said … Mid-Term, Again
