Book Review: Love Kinection

This is the week of Jennifer James. 😉 As I mentioned Friday, she’s the founder of the crit group I belong to, and has given some very useful feedback to me on my writing, so I’m happy to return the favor and help her while she faces the madness of releasing two books in the Book Review: Love Kinection

ROW80 Check-In: Victory

I know, technically, it’s no longer Sunday, but I still wanted to post an update. An exciting one, at that: I MET MY GOAL! 🙂 I just finished incorporating all the changes my editor suggested, and am thrilled to be at the phase where I’ll be doing a read-through for any final tweaks and formatting ROW80 Check-In: Victory

Royalty Check, Reality Check

This was an exciting week for me: My first royalty check! You know, for words I constructed out of the fantastic corners of my mind, to be published as Dust to Blood. Don’t get me wrong, any payday is a good payday–especially when you’ve just been paid to imagine something into existence. But… I’m a Royalty Check, Reality Check

ROW80 Check-in: Distraction

My day was hijacked in the worst possible way this morning, with the news that yet another psycho had gone on a shooting rampage–about 20 minutes from where I live. I worried about friends and colleagues who are Sikh, who might have been there, since it was to have been a day of special celebration. ROW80 Check-in: Distraction

Plot Bunnies and Story Prompts

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

Character Interview: Discord Jones

I was amazed at the number of people who were interested in the character interview I did for WLC this weekend, so was talking with my favorite publisher, author Gayla Drummond, about it. Since we were in the mood and having fun with IM, I asked if I could interview her character, Discord Jones, of Character Interview: Discord Jones

ROW80 Check-in: Progress

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

Cover Reveal: Dementional

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
