Writing Fuel = Coffee

The thing which sustains me during my mad dashes to finish books, my writing fuel, coffee. It has been become a staple of my diet and something that starts my day. But it also can be a serious problem when you miss a morning shot of coffee.

Happy St. Patricks Day

I wanted to wish everyone a happy St. Patricks Day! Make sure you have a good time and stay safe and if at all possible have yourself a nice Irish coffee.

Happy St. Patricks Day from MJ Fletcher

Things are moving along nicely here as I’ve gotten a ton of writing done in the last few days. I’m really happy with my progress and will be close to finishing up a few of my writing projects shortly. Which means I will be able to start announcing some release dates rather soon.

Fifty pages and over ten thousand words on the novella....

Happy Valentines Day

Happy Valentines day everyone, I hope you are warm and cozy with your favorite person. Or better yet with a good book, enjoying some reading time! Nothing like some alone time to really energize yourself.

If you’re looking for something to read might I suggest The Victorian Express. This is still one my personal favorites when it comes to the Doorknob Society Saga. Everything had been wrapped up and this was a fun way to share a Chloe and Nightshade story with all of you.

I have a Valentine...

I have quite a few things that will be releasingin the next few months and I should be able to start sharing them in the coming weeks.

Merry Christmas

I want to take a moment and wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. In the crazy and often insane world we live, it is days like this where you should take a moment and remember the good things in life. Family, friends and all the things that you have which make your life complete. For me that is my family, my books and my fans. Enjoy the day and have a HappyChristmas.

For anyone who’d like to follow along take a moment and check out my annual Doorknob Society Christmas tales. It is one of my...

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone, I hope everyone who celebrates has a wonderful time with family and friends. It’s always been one of my favorite holidays. A perfect time to curl in a blanket in front of a warm fire and read all night long. After you’ve gorged yourself on some wonderful food, of course. If you really want to get into the holiday spirit why not pick up of my annual Christmas tales for the Doorknob Society like, A Candlestick Christmas.

That is one of my personal favorites, though...

Dieselpunk and The Doorknob Society

Dieselpunk has always been a part of the Doorknob Society Saga, from Nightshade’s car down to the Diesel Factories. I crafted this world to straddle the things I enjoyed and loved in many genres. Steampunk was always the center of this weird and wonderful world of the Old Kind, but dieselpunk always seemed to creep in as well.Like some little brother who can’t stay away.

Dieselpunk, MJ FletcherSomething about the design of it has always spoken to me. The roughness and rawness of its appeal, I adore steampunk. But...

First Day of Fall

The first day of fall has arrived, which means colored leaves, cool breezes and warm coffee. The first day of fall and the entire season is one of my favorite times to read. Snuggled up with a good book and a warm drink I love to lose myself for hours.

First day of Fall, MJ Fletcher

Now that the craziness of summer is over, I’m able to get a jump on my writing schedule. I’m currently toiling away on the grand finale of the Grimm Chronicles, Order of the Fallen, as well as a few others gems. Also doing some work on a comp...
