Happy New Year!

12/31/2020

I hope everyone has a very happy new year and I’m wishing you bright things to come in 2021!

So far my writing in 2021 is looking good:

For my upcoming books, A Little Fairy Dust will be released on the 4th (you can pre-order it HERE), Magnified is in excellent shape for a March re-release, and we have begun the first round of edits for If A Butterfly Don’t Fly,
which is currently scheduled to come out in April.  Once this first
round of Butterfly is complete, I should receive edits ...

My next re-release with NineStar Press is a book called Kelpie Blue.
It is available for pre-order right now at NSP, and comes out on

read an excerpt HERE.

Kelpie
Blue is the first book in my Out of Underhill series, but it wasn’t
supposed to be.  When I first started writing about Underhill and the
chaotic overlap between the worlds of fae and human, I was working on a
book titled If A Butterfly Don’t Fly.

Editing and the Furnace

12/12/20

How editing works:

   Wow, I’ve made so much progress!  I’ve reworked sentences, approved a ton of commas, and clarified a bunch of issues with the editor.  I’m moving along so fast and I’ll have this finished in no time!  

   Looks down at the page count.  I’ve only done two pages?!?  

Editing is a roller coaster.  There’s the high when things are going well, when the edits are moving along smoothly and I feel like I’m making progress.  Then...

Real Life Woes and Some Writing

12/5/20

You might remember a few weeks ago I mentioned I was smelling oil every time my heat turned on.  I finally had someone out to look into it, and it’s bad.  The technician found a puddle of oil underneath the pump, took the pump apart and found more oil, and guessed there’s even more oil leaking somewhere he can’t see.  It’s not a ton of oil, because the oil in my tank isn’t mysteriously vanishing, but it’s enough that he told me my furnace is shot.  I...

Release Dates and Writing

11/28/20

I know I mentioned it when I first posted the
release dates for my books, and I mentioned it when those dates were
subsequently changed, but all potential release dates are tentative.

possible in 2021, which means were are condensing the schedule.  Our
aim is to finish re-releasing all the reprints (peppered with some brand
new material, of course) as soon as possible.  This is good news for
you.  For brand ...
