ANNA is almost in the 3rd Draft Stage!

 New concrete put in outside as some writing happens inside. No, I didn't pour it!

ANNA TOUCANA should be done by next week! So I missed my plan to have it done by the middle of this month, but I am pretty darn close. Then I just need to make up the cover and it's publication time.

About 1/3rd of the way through ESCROW's 2nd rewrite. The plan to have it done by mid-August is still on track. Then I start my next script, tentatively called, 233. It's centered around a palm reading shop.

VAMPOINDEXTER is out! Order it here. 

VAMPOINDEXTER is part of a 3 book series. The first 3 books will feature standalone stories (Vampoindexter and Anna Toucanna are the first two). Then, once the characters are established in those books, I'm going to start combining them in a bunch of new books.

 

Once again, new episodes of the Ronni's Books podcast are available every Saturday! Some weeks I read one of my books until it’s complete. Other weeks you watch and listen to me write (and probably eat!). Listen to the most recent one here!

First Draft of Anna and Escrow Are About Done!

 

Photo taken Halloween 2021!

The first rewrite of ANNA TOUCANA is almost done. Two more rewrites and it will be published! Better start working on the cover!

ESCROW's first rewrite is just about done as well. The next batch of rewrites should proceed along fairly quickly, which means it should be done by mid-August. Then I start my next script, tentatively called, 233. It's already written longhand. More on that in a bit...

Turned in the rewrite to the lovely people at Saddleback Educational Publishing. Jumping back into Anna Toucana with plans for a mid-July release!

The rewriting of my screenplay ESCROW is going well. I plan to have it done by mid-August. Then I start my next script, tentatively called, 233. More on that in a bit...

Pausing Anna (briefly) + Screenwriting

 

The home where many stories were born.

Had to put Anna Toucana aside briefly as I had to jump back into a rewrite for Saddleback Educational Publishing. That should be done soon and then Anna will resume. It should be out by mid-July.

Inputting my notes into a new version of a script called ESCROW. The problem when I write screenplays is they usually start of simple, and then they get convoluted. That has kind of happened now but I think I can reel it back in!

Anna Toucana Is Done!

Order Vampoindexter from Amazon Now!

Anna Toucana is done and I am about halfway finished with the rewrite! Looking forward to getting this done and starting the third book in this series about a boy with special powers named Herman.

Also finished up a hard-copy rewrite of a script. Sometimes, when I write a script it takes a bit longer and I lose sight of the plot. So I print it up and then do a rewrite with longhand notes in the margins. Then I type up the longhand notes as I reread the script and that keeps me on track. Usually.
