Today’s Efforts

Today’s Efforts


8/4/23

Happy August everyone!  Summer is really flying by.  The crazy humidity is finally taking a break, so the weather isn’t too bad.  To be honest, it feels like autumn, which makes me worry I’m in for another slam of crazy weather sometime soon.  Summer, particularly a summer like this one has been, isn’t going to go away easily.  I’ll enjoy this lovely break while it lasts. 

Has writing been going well?  I really wish I had an answer to that question.  I finished writing chapte...

Writing Difficulties

Writing Difficulties


7/8/23

I have been getting a ton of writing done in The Prince, the second book in my still unnamed series.  Is Tales of Toval as a series name confusing, or do you think I should go with it?  Princes of Toval?  Adventures in Toval?  Anyway, I’ve started writing chapter 6, so I’m making decent progress.  Except, none of the chapters have reached my minimum word count goal.  I should be well over 15k words at this point in the story, but I’ve barely scraped past 13k.  I am hopi...

Out Now: Water’s Price

Everyone undersea knows to avoid the sea witches. Cruel and vindictive, they hate mermaids more than anything. While employed at the mermaids’ human company, all Calder simply wants is to do a good job and to possibly get a chance to work with handsome Sevan Triton. Instead, he accidentally puts himself into the crosshairs of the sea witches. Survival undersea requires magic and power, but even with Sevan’s help, Calder isn’t sure whether the price the sea will extrac...

The Past Month Has Been Crazy

6/12/23

I have been doing so much better lately with posting regularly to keep everyone in the loop, and then I went and vanished for an entire month!  Sigh.  I admit I’ve been very busy, and spring has definitely kept me on my toes.  My sister is getting married this summer (soooo excited!!!), so the last few weeks were the bridal shower and bachelorette party.  Plus, I had a business trip for my 9 to 5 and I went to the beach for Memorial Day.  And this entire last week has been sniffles...
