Title Reveal!

Hey guys,

In my last blog post, I asked all of you lovely people to help me rename my story. Voting went on and for a few weeks, and at this point the winner has been decided.

Five titles competed for the top spot:

A Breath Best StolenThe Hollow Death of Belladonna BatesAt Death’s WakeAfter He Stabbed HerLove, Heists, and Other Necromancy

I will say there was a tie for second and am tempted to have another vote, but in the end, one clear winner squeaked it out.

And the winner is …...

February 2022 Author Update

Hey Guys,

It’s that time of the month again where I break down what next down the pike in terms of my writing.

You’re going to have to forgive me that words may not come out write as I’m exhausted from fighting a stomach bug, but I wanted to make sure that I got this article out for you all.

So without further ado, let’s dive right into it.

How’s Hollow’s Heist?

I’m still plugging away at applying changes based on beta reader feedback, but I’m almost finished. There’s three chapte...

January 2022 Author Update

Hey Guys,

I’m back again. The update is pretty short this month.

What have I been writing?

As I mentioned in my last recap, I planned on taking the first part of the new year slow, only 10-15k words these past two months. I’ve written the rough draft of a short story and may need to tweak it a smidge or two. Next month, I hope to share it with you. No spoilers.

I’d also started another story just for the fun of it rather than beating myself up with deadlines just yet. No expectations, or prep. O...

Ten Fresh Self-published Books of 2021

Celebrate these Peeps!

To wrap up the year, I wanted to close by sharing the achievements of my fellow Active Alumni authors and Mustache Cartelistas and reiterate it in case you missed the 2021 in review.

Again, writing a book is a no easy feat and that’s an incredible understatement, and personally, I feel a lot of us Indies have to look out for each other. So here’s to celebrating their success!

Please be sure to check the wonderful people below and perhaps give them a read. I’m sur...

2021 in Review

Hey Guys,

Around this time of the year, I feel it’s important to take inventory and recall what happened. I don’t know about you, but I found myself asking where did it all go; you know? How did it fly by so fast?

Anywhoo, in this post I’d like to highlight all the accomplishments and mishaps I had this year as well as lift up some fellow indie authors to celebrate them too!

This is 2021 in review.

November 2021 Update

Hey guys,

I have a bit of a short update this month. Not too much to note, but a few things to clue you all in on. Welcome to the November 2021 update.

Hollow’s Heist

The story’s still going strong. Current Word Count stands at a whooping 182,000+ give or take a thousand or so for comments. I’ve cut some fluff to reaffirm some characters as I’m debating turning this into a series. The story and characters have lots of potential if they ever can find an audience.

Sadly, that’s my biggest concern...
