I’ll be in Alice Unbound!
In January 2017, I decided to take my first real stab at writing short stories. I came up with The Eclectic Collective from the Galaxy with No Name, and shockingly to me, who loves her 120,000-word projects, I found writing under the ceiling of a shorter word count a lot of fun! Fast forward to March 2017. Fellow…

An Immoral Compass
Okay, it’s February 2018’s flash fiction challenge, as issued by fabulously talented Canadian author ’Nathan Burgoine. This month we had to write a crime caper that takes place in a soup kitchen, and includes a compass. This was really out of my genre comfort zone. I like being challenged, though. And I made it at…

Confession: I really, really, really, times infinity did not want to ever be apart of one. Probably because of previously witnessing writers’ groups whose members spoke as if fatally…

My manuscript and I need to sneak away together!
I’ve not been writing as much as I’d like these days. It’s not that I don’t want to complete The Stealth Lovers, it’s just that work has been constant these past few months. Not that I’m complaining; I love how my day job involves editing manuscripts. There’s nothing like giving other authors joy when they see…

Choosing ‘The Funny’ While Managing Anxiety
It’s amazing to me how people who deal with mental illness can be stigmatized as being weak, ’cause I’m like, Really? Really, doods? Do you actually have the teensiest clue what it’s like? I manage OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder) impulses and anxiety. It wasn’t enough for me to have chronic neuropathy throughout my body. I wanted a mental…

To my fans, readers, fellow authors, and those who tolerate me…
I wish you a safe and peaceful holiday season and all the best for the new year. This year had its challenges, but knowing you were out there supporting me gave me the motivation to continue writing and doing all the things! In 2017, some cool writer stuff happened: My first book, Life in the ’Cosm,…
