PreOrder for Summoned to the Wilds is Live!
I cut it dangerously close this time, but I've made it! The files are all uploaded, and now we just wait. Well, you just wait while I wake up in a cold sweat multiple times a night wondering if I fixed all my editing marks for this manuscript or not. Gods, is it ever going… Continue reading PreOrder for Summoned to the Wilds is Live!
#1LineWed – Theme: Better To
We don't talk about feelings because then there's no plot left. By book 3 there is still a lot left unsaid, but there's, like, a whole big bad monster thing to stop, so...
Cover Reveal and November Newsletter
Hello, Dear Readers! My November newsletter just went out, and you can read it here, getting access to all the goodies therein. I've also dropped the cover for Summoned to the Wilds, book two of Villains & Virtues. Isn't she beautiful? Of the three pieces of art that Anna-Mariya did for me, this one is… Continue reading Cover Reveal and November Newsletter
#1LineWed – Theme: The
A very long line from the first chapter to bog the reader down right away. It's been a rough couple days, so I'm mostly going through the motions right now, but I think I'll be able to stay on track long term. That might mean I'm not around much, but I'll try. Hug your pets… Continue reading #1LineWed – Theme: The
If My Books Were Halloween Candy
I made a couple TikToks about this, but if that isn't your jam, here's a whole blog post about it (with links!) If my books were Halloween candy, what would they be? This feels like it could be a meme, maybe it is? I don't know, but it came to me in the shower either… Continue reading If My Books Were Halloween Candy
#1LineWed – Theme: Universe
They say write what you know, which I respect, but I am totally winging it with dads and demons, I have to admit. I don't have the word "universe" anywhere in the Villains & Virtues books at all as of this stage in editing which is kinda funny, but I think with multiple planes, the… Continue reading #1LineWed – Theme: Universe
Maybe I’m Awful
Maybe I'm delusional, maybe I suck, maybe I should stop. These are the thoughts. They're the worst thoughts. They feel heavy and burdensome and intense. Some days they're very quiet though, and I like those days. Other days they're like that gas-powered leaf blower that your neighbor just bought and loves more than his wife… Continue reading Maybe I’m Awful
#1LineWed – Theme: As It
Not drunk, just excitable. Oops, forgot to post yesterday! Summoned to the Wilds is coming along nicely. The edits are going slower than I'd like, but I've added a lot of words. I know not everyone likes long books, and mine are almost the equivalent to two average romance novels squashed together at 120k+ words,… Continue reading #1LineWed – Theme: As It
#1LineWed – Theme: Really Is
A snippet from Villains & Virtues, book three. It's been a while since I've done a one line Wednesday. And it's not one line, but whatever. I'm in a good place with these books, and I'm pumped to get them out, but it's just slow going. Convincing myself to edit faster is so hard. I… Continue reading #1LineWed – Theme: Really Is
