on Reading and Writing and All the Speculation In Between
I don’t know how successful I’ve been following the injunction I’m posting today… My manuscript is about one-third the way through the nominations process with Kindle Scout. So far my campaign really only gets visibility when I spam my Facebook friends–and not as much as I’d hoped, at that. Honestly, in all likelihood, it was…
I’m happy this week to be pimping out my crit partner extraordinaire, Sabrina Garie, who has just released her third stand-alone book in the past two years. She writes for the Ellora’s cave imprint, which specializes in erotic romance… and her stories will curl your toes. 😉 Her latest offering, Thirteen Nights, looks to be…
It’s been a while since I posted a review, and I thought I would get this one done last month–it’s been sitting that long as a partially completed draft. Today, the author released her second book, and, as she’s one of my crit partners, I decided I had to get off my duff and actually…
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…

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.

So, to keep myself from bouncing off the walls too much as I complete the final steps in producing my third novel, I will share another snippet from the book. In…

I’m always a fan of supporting friends who are publishing new books, so this week I’m happy to host Sabrina Garie as she promotes her Fires of Justice release. Take it away Sabrina: I am so glad to be visiting Tonya whose thoughtfulness and intelligence shine in every word she writes. I hope I get…
I got myself in over my head this week… I’ve never reviewed erotica before, and hadn’t planned on ever doing so. However, one of the women who did me an early review favor for Dust to Blood contacted me to ask if I’d support her new release. Without asking further details, I offered to return…
I waited anxiously for the final book of the Parasol Protectorate series by Gail Carriger to be released, and then made myself wait a little longer to actually buy it until my book budget was available and my time budget opened a sliver. Carriger has created such a unique voice with this series I almost…
