Santa is LIVE!

Good morning! It is a good start to the week:  – Micky is doing well, though she’s sleepy.  That’s a good thing, it means she’s not going to tear stitches (like she did when she was spayed).  We’re going today to get her a Medi-shirt because the cone is making her depressed, which is bad. … Continue reading Santa is LIVE! →

The Review Process Stinks

Good morning! I get it. I really do. I understand that they have to make sure that everything is up to their standards (though, really, how do some of those books make it through?) but it takes so stinkin’ long. I have found in the past that it can be remarkably shorter, so we’ll see.  I … Continue reading The Review Process Stinks →

What a Week!

Hello! Been a hell of a week, eh? I don’t even remember Monday. I know it existed but Tuesday and Wednesday wiped it away completely.  And then there was yesterday, taking Micky to the pet ER… That sucked.  However, she’s in the best place outside of Guelph (where there is a world class learning institution … Continue reading What a Week! →

Micky Update

The Bean here has gone to surgery.  We had to take her to an emergency vet this morning after she threw up the tummy healing food.   And then threw up water she hadn’t been drinking.  A LOT of water she hadn’t been drinking. We stopped by our standard vet first and explained what was going … Continue reading Micky Update →

A Slight Delay

Hello my lovelies, Unfortunately, we woke up to Micky  throwing up all over the place. We are not entirely sure what set this off.  We do know that she’s ripped apart (and eaten parts of) every single toy she owns.  Stuffed animals are now bag-animals, if they are in one piece.  Plastic toys have been … Continue reading A Slight Delay →

The Cover Reveal!

 Good morning! It’s a beautiful day for a cover reveal! I have finished the blurb and the tagline (which stayed just like it was in the last blog *laughs*) and everything is ready for release on Wednesday! That’s right!  A Year in the Life of S. Claus will be out TOMORROW! Here is the blurb: What if … Continue reading The Cover Reveal! →

The Drama, the Romance, and the Work That is 2018

Hello, my lovelies! The Work: Today I finished the final draft for A Year in the Life of S. Claus.  I am thrilled! I have to write the blurb and the tagline – something like Santa: magic man, businessman, car collector, vigilante. The real story behind the myth. Dear Gods.  I hope I come up with something … Continue reading The Drama, the Romance, and the Work That is 2018 →

The Anthology, Upcoming Releases & Life with M&M

Good morning, my lovelies!  It has been far, far too long and I know that I should be getting my ass kicked for my lack of participation in promoting the athology.  A few minutes a day is all it would take.   I promise I will try to do better now that things are (sort of) calming … Continue reading The Anthology, Upcoming Releases & Life with M&M →

There are only THIRTEEN DAYS LEFT!

Yep, this is flat out a promo post for my anthology.  Or rather, the anthology I’m a part of; I love it so much I want to claim it as mine.  [On a personal note: I’ve been sick lately, sick enough that I actually went to the doctor with the stupidly vague symptoms – I’m … Continue reading There are only THIRTEEN DAYS LEFT! →

Scaredy Cat COVER REVEAL

Good evening, my lovelies! The Cover Reveal party was this past Friday and Saturday and we had a lot of fun.  I’m sorry that you all weren’t there but I have to say, that’s a lot my fault: I didn’t tell you about it enough.   The book comes out in FIFTY-NINE DAYS though and believe me, … Continue reading Scaredy Cat COVER REVEAL →
