#TeaserTuesday – Dream Chasers
After hugging me and DJ, Sunny sat down and crossed her legs.

Should You Hire an Editor That is Also an Author?
Should you hire an editor that is also an author? My answer to that is an emphatic YES. Here’s why. A while ago on Facebook, I stumbled across an author venting about other authors who offer editing services. She was so far in her feelings that I didn’t know how she’d ever managed to get […]
