News: Edits are Complete
1/17/18
Three day weekends with very few plans are a wonderful thing when you’ve got edits that need to get done. I spent just about every free moment this past long weekend editing Ground of Insurrection and was able to finish it early. I’ve just sent it back to LT3. They do need another round with the editor, but I don’t foresee any serious difficulties arising. Additional news about potential release dates, covers, and everything else will hopefully be forthcoming at t...

News: More Edits and a Bit of Writing
1/13/18
I have received the first round of edits for Ground of Insurrection. A glance through says they’ll be very straightforward, so hopefully I’ll have them completed and back to LT3 for a second round quickly. The editor said the story was “fantastic”, which I was overjoyed to see. This story gave me some trouble as I was writing it, trouble that is unfortunately repeating itself as I’m trying to write the sequel, so hearing it did turn out well after all t...

News: Road to Revenge Reprint
12/31/17
LT3 emailed me to let me know Road to Revenge, the first book in my Road To duology, will be going out of print on January 1, 2018 (tomorrow). They asked if I was interested in renewing the contract, to which I immediately replied yes. This isn’t going to be a huge rigamarole like with Dragon’s Hoard. Road to Revenge will get shined up a bit with a quick edit, but it shouldn’t even have an interruption in sales. Dragon’s Hoard was down for weeks while it we...

News: Coming Soon, Sooner, and Soonest
12/5/17
The reprint of Hadash Aviv, my short story crime thriller, is coming out next week! LT3 is having an amazing sale, so make sure you pre-order your copy soon. I’m super excited about this story coming out as a stand alone. It may be short, but it’s definitely one of my favorites. That’s why I was so happy LT3 agreed to reprint it. I hope you’ll like it too!
I’m still chugging away at the edits for Kelpie Blue. The hardest part is that the editor pointed...

News: Writing, Editing, and More
12/03/17
What is it about getting a big stack of edits that makes me want to run the other way? I don’t know if this is a me thing or an authors in general thing, but edits suck. They’re this necessary evil staring at me from the abyss. I know I have to work on them, but I can’t help putting them off. What this means is I took one look at the edits for Kelpie Blue, gulped, and then scurried back to the safe realm of writing. I have completed writing The Red Apple Witch w...

News: What I’m Working On Now
11/22/17
There are so many wonderful authors out there participating in NaNo. I see them posting their word counts for the day/week/etc and I am very impressed by everything they’ve accomplished. I wish I could emulate them, but I’ve tried and in the end I decided that NaNo just wasn’t for me. Being on a specific schedule where I have to write X number of words per day with the intention of completing a story by the end of the month doesn’t work for me. Having that...
