CV4 From Start to Finish - Part I - Preparation
Hi, everyone! This post will begin a new series here at on the blog--since I'm about to start writing the fourth book in the Chicagoland Vampires series (tentatively titled HARD BITTEN), I thought I'd track the steps in the writing/publishing process to give everyone a sense of how the novel moves from start to finish.

What's in Chloe's Bag?
Yes, I wanted to play with Photoshop today, so bear with me. ;)
This is the stuff in my laptop bag--the stuff that travels with me when I join the laptop-using masses at my nearest Starbucks. (But I AM writing a novel! I swear!) It's some of my favorite writing gear, so I thought I'd share. Sources below.
