Tuesday Writing Tips!
Hello everyone!
I hope your June is starting off with a bang. I’m going to be posting a writing or creativity tip every Tuesday. If you’re a writer (or a reader who’s interested in the writing process), I hope you’ll check out the posts, and feel free to add your own insights and comments.
Here’s this week’s writing tip:
The mental battle, No. 1: It’s very easy to get caught up in the frenzy of technique, super plotting, researching, industry buzz, promotion, online sites, and so many other things, that sometimes we forget the bottom line is the basic writing. First and foremost you are a writer. The most important thing you can do to develop your ability is to write.
Happy writing!

Shadower is here!
Calling all readers! Shadower is now available. This is the second book in my science fiction romance Shielder Series.
If you like kick-ass heroines who might be just a little on the wrong side of the law (like a smuggler) and strong, sexy heroes who might be just a little shady (like a bounty hunter); if you like romance and adventure set on other worlds, then Shadower is the book for you! You can read a blurb and excerpt here.
If you haven’t read book one,Shielder, you can read a blurb and excerpt here.
Also, I’m participating in Fresh Fiction’s fantastic Spring Fling contest. I’m giving away a $20 gift card and a copy of Shadower, so be sure to enter! Click here. Good luck!
I hope spring is offering better weather for you, and wish you many great books to read.
