Wow! I’m so over the moon. A little while back, I entered the Author Shout Reader Ready Awards. It's been part of my goal to enter as many contests and competitions as I could afford over the last few years. Yesterday, a little email popped up to tell me In Pain and Blood had won … Continue reading I got Author Shout “Recommended Read” twice!

Paperback of Dark One’s Bride
Usually, we get our mail quite late in the day, around 4pm. So, it's not often I'll be woken by someone announcing there's mail for me. But this morning was one of those happy days, bringing the proof of Dark One's Bride to my waiting hands. Or rather, my daughter's.

Cover Reveal – Dark One’s Bride
Omg! It's finally time to reveal the cover for Dark One's Bride, the second in my Young Adult Gothic/Fantasy Romance. I'm not going to drag this out. I've been sitting on this (and am still sitting on the last cover) ever since I last revamped the cover for Dark One's Mistress. That's too long! And... And... … Continue reading Cover Reveal – Dark One’s Bride
The End of the Month Update
I hit my 15k goal for this month, despite taking quite a few days off. I probably hit it several times without knowing, considering everything I've cut. But we don't count new on top of old over here. If the goal is five hundred words and two hundred are deleted along the way, write seven. … Continue reading The End of the Month Update

I've been at the stage of almost finishing chapter ten for around a month now. About the only thing … Continue reading Feck it…
2018 Goals and Other News
Happy 2018, everyone! Last year I set myself a few writing goals in the beginning of the New Year. A lot of them didn't get done, with In Pain and Blood commanding much of my time. I did get a few more books read than 2016, but fell well short of the twelve I'd set myself… … Continue reading 2018 Goals and Other News
Cover Makeover: Dark One’s Mistress
You might've noticed a few changes happening around my blog and website, or even other places on the web. Mostly the alteration of a certain bright red cover. That cover is no more. Dark One's Mistress has undergone its third cover change, the second by me alone after I self-published it. I quite liked its … Continue reading Cover Makeover: Dark One’s Mistress
