A railroad-train pajamas kind of week

I got soap in my eyes, my mickey mouse night-light broke, I had to wear my railroad-train pajamas... Oh, wait. That's not me. That's Alexander from "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day" (have you read this book? It's great. I read it to my girls in a very low, grumpy voice. It makes them laugh every time).

On Tuesday, I was sure I was heading for an entire week of "terrible, horrible, no good, very bad days". I lost my editor, I had to swallow a very...

Allegiance Blog Tour Is Coming! Come to me... bloggers...

[image error] Wow! I can't believe I'm posting about this already but, given the release of ALLEGIANCE is only four months away and plans have begun, what can I say but IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN!
ALLEGIANCE will be releasing in November (tentative date of November 6th however it all depends on my editor and, given this book is a wee bit longer than I anticipated *cringes*, it may take her longer to complete).  Until then, I'm madly working away at final revisions, my beta readers are carving through th...

Anathema's now on this thing called Wattpad!

Hello, all. Just a quick update to let you know that Allegiance is doing well. I'm in final revisions and my trusty beta readers are carving through it (I send it in 'chunks' and they're okay with that!). So far, they say they're really enjoying it!

I've also FINALLY loaded Anathema on Wattpad. What is that, you ask?

Here's the "About us", copied and pasted from their website:

Wattpad is the world's largest community for discovering and sharing stories on the web and across every mobile device....

The "this and that" update

A quick little update!

In case anyone is wondering how Allegiance is going... I just finished the first revision last night!!!!! (see that? FIVE exclamation points). It's been a slow process given my recent day job change. Things are starting to calm down and I'm able to focus more in the evenings. I like to joke that I'm no longer on Pluto; I'm on Mars now. That description isn't too far off from how I feel some days. Anyhow... I will begin the second revision of Allegiance tonight...

Finally.... The ALLEGIANCE Cover Reveal!! And a day early!

After many months of impatiently waiting for my brilliant cover artist to create the ALLEGIANCE cover...I have it!! The reveal was planned for tomorrow, however the cover was mistakenly leaked. So... here it is, a day early!!

Evangeline finally got what she longed for—the cursed pendant off her neck and Caden in her arms—only it came at a steep price. An unknown poison now courses through her body, slowly morphing her into something no one but the Fates can foresee.She has her suspicions, thou...

The Waiting For Allegiance Giveaway #2!

I should call this the "I'm going to poke my eyes out with a spoon in anticipation of this cover" contest because that's how I'm feeling right now. Progress on ALLEGIANCE is slow as of late because of my real life, alternate planet experience (no, I wasn't abducted by aliens though I kind of feel like it some days... I've changed companies in my 'day job'). Don't worry, I will meet my deadline of a November release.  What keeps me impatiently waiting right now is the cover...
