A Thought Leads to Thoughts Lead to Thanks.
Funny thing happened today. So my cousin texted me today and what she said instantly brought back a memory. In our lives there will be incidences that will stick with us forever. They’ll be like a metaphor for YOUR life. Mine occurred back when I was 18 years old. So. Something happened at my cousins [...]

Always Falling for the Male Lead aren’t we???
So I’m up late tonight writing after what was a LOOOOOONG DAY. No need to recount hours already passed. Only I drove out to LA today to visit a dress shop. Yep… it set me back a few hundred dollars but let me tell you, she makes the classiest, sexiest dresses on the planet. Not [...]

Living In Solitude…
You know, I’ve been thinking lately about my life… So, I can say today, and for sure, that I’m a writer. That is my profession. I wake up every morning, check email, eat, groom myself and then figure out where to go write for the day. Lately it’s been one coffee shop slash dining hall…It’s [...]

Parched, Book 7 Updates Here…
So here is where I’ll be keeping a running update on Book 7 of the Parched series. As of 12/8/2012: Well, I thought I had a title but I seriously don’t like the title so now there’s still no title. Revive seemed uninspiring. I’m not going to give a specific date of release as [...]

Making Headway… about time!!!!!…
So I’m finishing up my day of writing and it’s 9:55PM! This is good. I’m finally writing stuff that I know I’m not going to delete. I promise you, I’ve already deleted over 10,000 words from book 7. I’ve been struggling to WRITE this story but not THINK this story. It’s been working it’s way [...]

A PROMOTION! And for One Month Only….
One thing I’ve learned is that it’s very difficult to get readers to leave reviews on books. And I totally get it because before I needed them for my books, I never thought to leave book reviews. Well… unless I saw some terribly unfair reviews. (I was born with the white knight syndrome). So now [...]

Increase Production…
So, I’ve read where many independent authors like me generally write up to three books at once. Three different stories that they put schedule writing time for in one days sitting. I’ve done this before, you know… You know what? True deal. I’ve gotten to the point where I prefer to read work from independent [...]

More Like Mom than Dad…
So I’ve been up reading this book. A “romance” novel but a contemporary one that breaks from the norm. I think it was 10:30PM when it sucked me in enough to make me cut the TV off and just read. It was like 3:30PM, halfway through the novel when I was really done with it [...]
