News: Giveaways and More Writing

12/24/14

Excitement always builds as a release day approaches and I’m doubly excited because next month I have two books coming out! Road to Home will arrive on January 7, 2015 and The Oracle’s Golem on January 21, 2015. Both are up for pre-order at LT3 for a 36% discount if you buy before the end of the year and after that for a 15% discount if you buy before release day. Plus, LT3 is giving away one free copy of each book. Road to Home’s giveaway is HERE and The Oracle’s...

News: Little Things, Big Progress

12/19/14

I feel like I haven’t accomplished a whole lot over the past few days, but I have done a bunch of little things that I think add up to big progress. Math isn’t my strong point, but I feel good about what I’ve been able to get done. First is the fact that the beta reader who looked over Thunderbird is amazing! She pointed out quite a few spots for improvement and I’m really happy with the result. I’m hoping to have Thunderbird ready to submit to LT3 next w...

News: Submissions and More Writing

12/11/14

I have finally submitted Dragon Consultant, book one of my new Supernatural Consultant Series, to LT3 and I’m really excited about it. Starting a new series is always a big leap. Any publisher is much more likely to accept a story with established characters they’ve already published a book about, like The Oracle’s Sprite, than something totally new. I really do think Dragon Consultant will do well and that LT3 will love it. I’ll post again as soon as I hear an...

News: Writing Successes

12/8/14

So far this month has been all about writing successes. I’ve been making so much progress with my goals and I really hope I don’t hit a wall. Knock on wood! I’ve already submitted The Oracle’s Sprite to LT3, which is one big check mark in my goal’s list. I’ve also spoken with my beta reader about Thunderbird and the news is still very positive. I should have it back by the end of the week and will have it submitted to LT3 by the end of the month.


I h...

News: Lots of Fun Things

12/2/14

The Oracle’s Sprite has been submitted to LT3! That’s one of the three stories I have ready to submit already in the publisher’s hands. I’ve contacted my beta reader about Thunderbird and I’m going to wait another two weeks before touching Dragon Consultant, but I’m so excited about my progress. I hope to hear from LT3 soon!


I’ve been writing a lot over the past few weeks and I’m happy to say I haven’t slowed down. Both stories in m...

News: I'm Working on What Right Now?

11/21/14

That’s right, my writing projects have gone off the rails. I have no idea why I’ve chosen to work on Kelpie Blue all of a sudden, but I’ve written over 7k words so far with no sign of stopping. My goals list this month was simple: finish The Oracle’s Sprite, work on Ground of Insurrection, and choose a neglected story to work on. I finished the first one, have made some progress on the second, and I thought I had fulfilled the third with Dragon Consultant. For...

I have taken the final step towards putting together a newsletter and I want to invite everyone to join me! Here’s what the newsletter will entail:

One or two emails per month. That’s it. I don’t want to bombard people with every little tweet or post I make. The first newsletter will arrive in your inbox between the 30th-2nd of every month. It will contain a summation of the previous month and a look ahead at the next month. If something huge occurs, like a big giveaway or sa...
