Going to Press & Bye-Bye GoDaddy...

Fun times! As of today, "City of Angels" is at the press and will be here on time for it's June release :)

Nuts!! Surreal!

Can I just say that I am almost more excited this time around? I am, I think. In the mean time, I have to finish my re-write of book 2 in two weeks. LOL

Oh, and I'm the phone with GoDaddy right now, canceling my hosting account. What a mess. Maybe it's perfect for someone else, but not for me. Ugh! But John is helping me right now, and he's very nice about it all--trying to...

Got Website Advice?

I see those 6 of you who have proactively started following me--letting me know I've been found out. Maybe it's time to take the lid off this thing. I wanted to wait until I had this SWEET website, but that isn't happening too quickly.

I clearly need help!

We all have our strengths... html is not one of mine. I've never even tried to make it one. Oh, and I still hate GoDaddy. Like I said, Yahoo gave me free Site Building materials and entire templates, if I wanted. GoDaddy has templates for a p...

Book Trailer & More!

Okay, so I'm excited! The potential for a killer book trailer is sitting in front of me and I just have to grab it :) As usual, it's not going to happen as quickly as I would like, but that's life, right? Or at least business. What matters is that I have all the key elements in place :)

I think I need more smiley faces :):):):):):):):):):):)

In the mean time I get to re-write the end of Stalk Lake City and go over the final proof of book 1. My poor editor. I'm cutting quite a bit more, now th...

I Hate GoDaddy

I may repent for this post later. Who knows, maybe one day I'll see through GoDaddy's eyes and it will be a vision of beauty, but this moment, I HATE THEM.

Yes, hate. It's a strong word, but it is what it is. Kind of like frustration. Annoyance. Agitation. Unreasonable fury.

I got my domain through them, no problem. The hosting is a disaster, though. Zero helping getting things set up, but all the help in the world to add service after "service"--and they don't stop pitching it even after you'v...

(Re)Writing

There's a certain kind of beauty at being given a second chance on a book. Not only have I grown as writer in the past six years (I hope), but I love being able to incorporate more action into all the books. Book 1 has a bit more action, but it's all the books following it where I'm really turning up the base, so to speak ;) Not only will this make the books more fun, but it will also better address the question I get frequently from readers as to... wait, that's a spoiler... uh... it will b...

Looking for this artist...

The above picture is one of my "muse" photos I'm basing one of the characters on in my YA series. When characters introduce themselves to me, I try to find songs and images that help me retain their presence and mood. This is my boy, Ventus. And since I'm such a fan of artists and believe they deserve all the credit and money they can get, if anyone knows where I can find the soul who drew this, please point the way so I can at LEAST link to him/her.

To those who find this a might-bit scand...

I find myself willfully going off task. I need a writing group. That's all there is to it. Editing 5 books simultaneously can be a little daunting. The moment I fire up this computer, my brain goes to a happy place and just wants to start stalking facebook updates.

I haven't launched this site yet, so to the few of you who have tripped over it, congratulations! You will get to see me change this site over the next few weeks as I prepare to launch "City of Angels." I think I'm actually mo...

Book 1: A New Look and a New Title!

The title "Spies, Lies and a Pair of Ties" has officially retired its jersey and donned a new uniform entitled: "City of Angels." On its way out of the stadium fans heckled, crying, "We never liked your title to begin with! We're glad you're going! 'City of Angels' is so much better!"

Poor thing. It's name wasn't its fault. It was mine. Totally. ANd I would have kept it, but when Cedar Fort approached me to re-release the books they insisted two of the titles be changed (I fought for St...
