It’s That Time Again

It’s that time again…time for an update, that is!

Some of you may have caught the Facebook status update a few days ago, but just in case you didn’t…I finally finished my first completish draft of Relapse! Yay! There was a time when I was seriously nervous that this book was never going to happen. Getting over writing Part One was the biggest hump because it set everything else up. It was really hard for me to start writing past that until I was happy with it. But now, suddenly, it’s all out o...

Character Profile: Apate

You may remember Apate as Eric’s other “teaching assistant”/minion of darkness in Reborn. She’s the goddess of trickery/deceit and has a much bigger presence in Relapse.Now that Jasper’s gone for good (…), Apate is next on Gamma Lambda Phi’s list of asses to kick back to Olympus. She also antagonizes Siobhan like it’s her raison d’etre. I’ve been having a blast writing her character, so thought I’d share!

Species: Olympian

Age: In Olympian years, a young adult

Physical Description:Petite; obsidi...

WIP Wednesday: June 18, 2014

I haven’t done an update post in a while, but I’m sick and bored today, so here we go! First off, Reborn is now available on Smashwords and a few other places! Yay! If you’ve read it and would like to leave a review, you can find it on Smashwords here and Barnes and Noble here.

As you might remember, the purpose of Work-In-Progress (WIP) Wednesdays is so I can set personal writing goals. It also serves as a way to let you all know what I’m working on. I hope you’ll join me and link back to you...

Let’s Talk About Jasper

I feel the need to talk about this because…well, I keep going over and over things in my mind (I tend to obsess over things), and I just need to get it out. So, what is it that’s been plaguing my mind lately? One of my favorite topics, of course: the archetypal “sexy bad boy” of paranormal romance.

I’ve talked about it before on this blog, but I’m going to talk about it again. Because it’s my blog. And, in all honesty…sexy, arrogant bad boys who have a hard exterior but are, you know, so vulne...

Update Time!

Below is the video update I posted to my Facebook page last night! It’s my first vlog, so don’t judge. ;-) I used my phone (in retrospect, I should have turned it the other way, horizontally, lol)…so it’s REALLY upclose and personal, ha! But give it a watch for some exciting news and updates about my WIP!

[One correction: Towards the beginning I say it's Reborn's half-month birthday...I meant half-birthday.]

The Girly Heroine

The subject of “strong” female characters has been on my mind a lot lately. A few of my fellow bloggers and writers have addressed this subject, most recently H.N. Sieverding’s blog post The Trouble with Alpha Males. So this is a post that I just really needed to write. I hope we can have a thoughtful, productive conversation about it.

First off, I want to say that I think it’s GREAT that people are talking about how women are portrayedin books, on TV, in movies, etc. It’s a subject that reall...

Character Profile: Peter

One of my fellow writers (and also my cover artist) Heidi asked me to share a character profile for Peter. Peter is one of my favorite characters in Reborn–probably because he embodies my favorite glam rock artists. He loves to gossip, and in Reborn he functions mostly as comic relief, but you’ll get to find out more about him and his “powers” in Relapse.

Age: Early 20s

Occupation:

Student at fictional college Thurston University
Keyboardist for punk rock band Search and Destroy
