I received my edited manuscript this morning in the wee hours. I have a lot of work to do. As my editor said: “You’ve fallen into some bad habits…” Ominous words for an impending deadline. The good news is, she likes the plot, the characters, and the ending, so the rest is just editing my … Plot Bunnies and Story Prompts
It’s been another busy week. I’m still not sticking with the number of #wordmongering sprints per week I had optimistically set for myself, but even if I continue at only 1,000 words on Blood to Fire per week for the remainder of this round, I’ll be halfway through my manuscript by September, and should be … ROW80 Check-in: Progress
It’s that time in the book production process that I once again had my day hijacked in the best possible way: Gayla (@scath) hit another homer with this beautiful cover for my latest book. Dementional is slated for release 8/23, so is currently in the middle of the editing process… and I’m trying to be … Cover Reveal: Dementional

I know I said I was typically only going to post Sunday updates for my ROW80 challenge, but tonight turned out to be a special night. I found out my husband had arranged for front-and-center Chris Isaak tickets on that artist’s latest swing through Milwaukee. It was an amazing concert. Regardless of whether you’re an … ROW80? Shiny Chris Isaak Concert…
Somehow the weeks are slipping by faster and faster. A week ago, I decided to see whether setting goals after failing Camp NaNo this summer would help light a fire under my writing activity. So far, I have to say it doesn’t feel like it’s going well. Sure: I wrote more than 5K words this … ROW80 Check-in: Missing Time
