Writing Updates
Figured it was about time to start being accountable for my scatteredbrained-ness (that’s totally a word…)
Here’s the latest and oh so greatest on the writing front:
I’m working on the final revisions for STIFLED (book 2 in the SUMMONED series). Just making it pretty. Woo.
That means I’ve started preparing for the release. You can find out more info here.
And if you happened to miss it, AXIOM (a SUMMONED prequel novella) was released 11/11. It’s on Amazon right over…there.
SUMMONED did break 100 r...
Day 3: 7 Days of Paid Book Marketing #bookreviews
While many authors understand the marketing power of reviews, it can be time consuming to find readers willing to write them.

I know some authors are willing to pay for promotions if they know they’re going to work. Here’s the deal: I cannot guarantee any of these services WILL definitely work for you—marketing is a fickle pickle like that—but I can honestly say these seven services moved SUMMONED forward. And some days, that’s as good as it gets.
I will start off with The Fussy...

Paranormal Romance Giveaway
TRIGGER WARNING: This book deals with the sensitive subject of sexual abuse.
Rose desperately wants to escape the abuse of the father who impregnated her and the dark spirits that haunt her life. Being thrust from Georgia 1961 into the era of Salem’s infamous witch trials isn’t what she had in mind, and now her daughter is left hopelessly out of reach.
The only way to return to her daughter is by facing certain death to banish the dark spirits that plague Salem. If she doesn’t eliminate thes...
