Past the Halfway Point – Find Her, Keep Her

And by the way — I moved. All settled in. The old place has been re-rented so I’m free from that place and ready to move forward with my life. So, for the past week I’ve been tightening the first half of my new novel – Find Her, Keep Her. It’s scheduled to be in […]

Another Editing Nightmare… Vanquish

Not since the initial release of Ignite, book  5 have I had to apologize for an editing NIGHTMARE. The issue is mainly my fault for not properly checking the editing job. Basically two very good editors in their own right didn’t meld too well and I ended up with a VERY poor copy.   I’ve [...]
