Fenrir for Valentine’s Day?

Over the last couple of days, I’ve started preparing the covers for the new Loki novella as well as another Fenrir story. Of course, I’d get the realization that there’s a Fenrir story that would be cute to put out on Valentine’s Day just days before the holiday. Typical! (grin) I’m still going to try … Continue reading Fenrir for Valentine’s Day?

Ring around the moon

I just stepped outside and saw an amazingly large ring around a nearly full moon and Mars off to the right. Here’s a picture: It looks like concentric circles around the moon in the photo, but the ring that touches the edges of the photo is the one I was seeing. Mars is that light … Continue reading Ring around the moon

One and one

It was so great to move one of my titles off my Kanban board today. Yep, Beat of the Drum got cleaned off. But I added another for the short story I did yesterday. So, things are moving, but so far I’m not getting ahead. (grin) I got some research done for other titles I’m … Continue reading One and one

Feeling the beat

Today, Beat of the Drum is on my website. Books are on their way to me and I’m so excited. I will hold my book before it releases. That’s something new. That’s exciting. I also finished a short story today and wrote a bunch of words to do that. I even got in a nap. … Continue reading Feeling the beat

Beat of the Drum

Beat of the Drum is going up for pre-order with a release date of February 28, 2025. I’ll have links as it starts to coming up. I still have some finishing touches to do, but it feels good to finally be rolling again. I do think I did too much in one day. I really … Continue reading Beat of the Drum

More writing

I finished up the full cover for Beat of the Drum today, and I started to get set to work on the cover of the 10th Loki novella. I corrected the connections on Arlyn’s book and made some notes on questions I was having so it can start to percolate in my subconscious. This all … Continue reading More writing

Enjoyment mindset

I’m not sure if I mentioned it or not, but last weekend I made a few tweaks to the cover of Beat of the Drum. Today, I went back through my keywords and tried to make them better. Keywords is not one of my favorite activities, but I’m going to learn it. I’m going to … Continue reading Enjoyment mindset

Through the tunnel

Merlin is at the vet. Last night after I took out my contacts, I lay him down on the floor and I checked him over. I found several hard lumps in his thighs. That’s not good. But I’m trying not to stress over it yet. I’ll wait for what the vet decides. I just finished … Continue reading Through the tunnel

Getting it done

I got writing done in-between doing a bunch of other things this morning. I’d been hoping to write my blog, but I expected to be off work earlier. That didn’t happen. Oh well. Unfortunately, I need to take Merlin to the vet tomorrow. Something’s going on with him and I don’t know what, but clearly … Continue reading Getting it done
