Words, Lovely Words
A-ha! This makes two whole Tuesdays in a row that I’ve blogged. I’m on a roll now! 
This week I am up to my ears in copy edits for HOUSE IMMORTAL since the copy edited manuscript is due back on the 30th. This pass is where I can straighten awkward sentences, check for continuity, and generally put that last bit of polish on the story.
It is the best and last chance for me to catch the big errors. Little errors, like typos, can still be caught when I go through the typeset proofs of the book.
Wh...

New Title & Behind the Scenes
Tuesday. Lots of good things about it:
1. It’s not Monday
2. New books are released
3. Supernatural is on
4. It shares the first letter with my actual favorite day of the week
5. I will be blogging here, faithfully (fingers crossed)
That’s right. I might blog more than once a week, but I’m going to try putting up a post every Tuesday, even during my very tight, very brain-dead deadline weeks (you have been warned). I hope you’ll check in and see how many Tuesdays in a row I can chain together.

Meanwhile…
This is going to be another one of those quick catch up posts, which means I’ve been pretty busy lately. But in case you’re curious about what’s been happening in Devon land, I shall sum up:
Life
1. We said goodbye to our sweet dog, Mojo last week. He was a faithful and stalwart companion for 14 years and we were so lucky to have him in our life. We will miss him terribly. RIP Mo. 
2. Spring is here, and that means garden time! This year I’ve planted carrots, beets, broccoli, onions, peas, squa...

This, That, & a Giveaway
I turned in the revisions for HOUSE IMMORTAL a week ago! Yay! Even though it was a pretty massive revision (I axed over 43,000 words, removed two characters, inserted a new character, shifted the side plots and re-wrote scenes from scratch…while also keeping all the cool stuff from the first version) I think the revision packed the book with even more fun, action, and daring-do!
Right now I am so very pleased with how this book turned out. Which is pretty normal for me at this stage of a...

Cover Reveal – HOUSE IMMORTAL
Note: This week I’ll be blogging over on the Deadline Dames, so this post is also mirrored there.
I’m not going to lie. One of my favorite parts of being a writer is that tingly joy I feel the first time I see the cover art for a story I’ve written.
Today, I’m going to share that joy with you! I have a NEW three-book series in the works, the first of which comes out this September. Book #1 is titled: HOUSE IMMORTAL. I am so excited to share this series, these new people, and this fantastical...

Looking Ahead – 2014
I don’t know about you, but around here it felt like the new year didn’t *really* start until Monday the 6th. So here I am 9 days into the new year and it feels like we’ve only had 2014 rolling for about three days.
Last post, I talked a little about what I had gotten done writing-wise in 2013.
In this post, I’ll take a best-guess at what is coming out in 2014.
