As I'm typing this post up I'm wearing my NaNoWriMo shirt that says I won. Even though I have not yet won. I'm a little rebel I know, I know.

But I'm going to win, at least things are looking pretty good for right now. As I write this post I'm sitting on about 42, 530 words this month. That puts me at 81,737 words in RLtG as a whole, which is a lot and wow it doesn't feel like I'm that far into this book, but apparently I am. O_O

this is where I'm at in each individual POV:

Rage Like the Gods and Romance

So NaNo is somewhere close to being almost over. Unfortunately I already lost my sanity. Maybe I sold my soul somewhere in there too but it's possible that was just a coffee induced hallucination.
Currently my NaNoWriMo word count is 35k words which is more or less on track for this time of the year. The word count of RLtG as a whole is a whopping 75k words and I know I said that very deadpan but believe me when I say I am quite excited about that fact.

I promised a post about the love interests i...

Rage Like the Gods Q&A, Part One: Get to Know My Novel

So NaNo has begun, and Rage Like the Gods has basically consumed my life. When I'm not writing, I'm brainstorming (to keep up with the fact that I am actually pansting this novel and need to come up with scenes on the go), when I'm not doing either of those I am drawing my characters. My calculator is getting quite a bit of use trying to figure out word counts, and I think I may drive my close friends and family mad with how much I talk about where I am at or where I am stuck in my writing. With...

Pre NaNo Writing Update

Here we go, it's that legendary time of the year where authors sell their souls for a little more coffee for a little more energy to get just a few more words in...

So they can write their novel in a month.

*shudders* *but like with anticipation*

I have /done/ NaNo before, for a few years now. I have won NaNo only once. Actually the book I won NaNo on was Of Gold and Iron, which I finally just released last month (don't forget about the special offer, there's still time to be ...

A Paranormal Cover Reveal!

 

 

It's time to reveal the cover to Jes Drew's upcoming release, Genie and Serena, PIs (Paranormal Investigators): The Game of Boo and Other Short Stories. It's a bit of a mouthful for such a little book. Good thing it's pretty.

Don't believe me? See for yourself!

 

Genie and Serena are just a normal couple of girls... just kidding. As a dormant mermaid (she hasn't activated her genetic abilities yet), Genie is actually kind of normal- except for being kind of sheltered. At least she is compared to ...

Introducing... Rage Like the Gods

So I have a bit of a confession to make.

I have been working on a new wip since July

I refrained from announcing it since, let's be real here, I have a bit of a bad habit of dropping projects. I get too many ideas, I get too excited, and I start working on them without commitment only for those projects to be dumped in a gutter somewhere when a newer and shinier idea comes along. I didn't want to announce this new WIP and get you guys all excited for it if I was just going to drop it. I wanted to ...

Of Gold and Iron release party

 Well I was planning on not doing this till October, but I finished up early, and it was the first day of fall, which for a book with a main character being an Autumn faerie... well I just found I couldn't resist. So I published Of Gold and Iron yesterday.

Which is, of course, all very exciting!

I actually wrote this book two years ago, but I didn't know what to do with it so I queried to a couple of publishers. I'm not going to lie, I thought Of Gold and Iron was going to get picked up when one p...

Update on Of Gold and Iron

I sort of did not intend to disappear off the face of the blogging earth. I really meant to do some progress updates for Of Gold and Iron, build up some hype or whatever. But ah, oh well, now I shall just wrap them all up into one big update.

I finished my go through of reading OGaI, now I'm just waiting on edits. I decided that since I already had a bunch of people beta read OGaI back when I was starting to query it that I would skip betas this time around. I'm just having a couple of friends re...
