Internet…

I really am worried about the Net Neutrality issue…Cable Companies could choose not to let you see my books, my site…my voice would be smothered. Yours would be, too. No one has a right to tell you what to read, (though we can beg charmingly) watch, hear. By controlling this for profit, the try to […]

Sale!

So, first of all, The Chocolatier’s Wife is on sale for .99 on Kindle. Wishes and Sorrows, my short story collection, not due out until October, is actually on pre-sale right now, so if you can’t wait until October, snag yourself a copy for Kindle…it will be gone soon, I think. Right now I am […]

Writing Update — No, Really! And with a picture for proof!

So, anyway, Scrivener has won me over. I like Kings Soft Writer a lot, but the files for each chapter are all separate. It didn’t make a difference to me in some ways, because hey, you can call them all up anyway, but I like the compact nature of Scrivener. I have it installed on […]

Maundering about Richard II and house projects…

So, to warm up my writing mind, I’ll post here a bit. Also, I am avoiding Facebook because the football trademark thingy is gonna blow up bad. Finally, Netflix was able to send me the first Disc of The Hollow Crown. I had watched…bought, actually, the Joss Whedon version of Much Ado About Nothing, because […]

Vacation, had to get away!

I am back from my two week road trip, but still suffering from that odd heaviness, the surreal feeling of not quite being there that always accompanies long vacations. The coolest name I encountered was Bat Cave…I think it was in North Carolina. I also liked Luck, which was near Trust. The coolest hotel device: […]

Authorgraph

I finally updated my Authorgraph Widget on my webpage so that people can, if they want, get any of my eBooks signed. I’ve never done it before…anyone want to be patient zero for me? *tries to look charming* I like the idea…any idea…of connecting with readers because I am extremely fond of my readers. If […]

A little post about my day

Not a very exciting day, really…but a weird one. It started when I woke up this morning. I screamed, apparently…my mother, in the next room, came running to see what happened. “What’s wrong?” she asked. I looked at her blankly. “I…why are you up?” She explained to me that I had screamed…I looked at her, […]

Wishes and Edits

For the past few weeks, I’ve been doing the edits for the final draft of Wishes and Sorrows. For me, doing edits is a several step process. First, you download the file and read through the comments. Wince. A lot. Say things like, “UGH.” And “Oh, but I thought that was clear.” Hate life a […]

Bits and bobs

Hmm. Lessee. I have been doing a lot of writing. The short story collection is being edited…I needed to do some pretty good edits to one of the new stories, which is only to be expected. Almost done with those, and when I turn that in, I will turn my attention to *three* pieces of […]

Greenery!

I have a terrible weakness for kitchen things. I refuse to go into outlet stores that offer kitchen things because I know it’s a waste of time and money…I don’t need those trinkets that promise easier preparation or whatever…because, simply put, I despise cooking. Well, maybe not despise…sometimes I’ll find myself cooking and actually be […]
