It’s been an eventful (not fun) few weeks in my non-writing life which required writing to be put on the back burner to care for myself and my family. In unrelated yet just as devastating news, I seem to have angered the gods of Amazon and all books have been purged from the behemoth. They …
Doing A Dance Of Joy
It’s beginning to look like I’m an author. A legit author. Sure I haven’t made enough cash to buy a yacht yet, or even a car… or much more than a few coffees at Starbucks, but I haven’t lost hope. Every month bring more sales as I get my name out there. I know I …
Lesson Learned The Hard Way
Let me be a cautionary tale. My alter-ego, who writes YA paranormal, adventure romance, put her novel, Hiding in Plain Sight on Amazon for presale prior to its relaunch. Then she made an error when she put the wrong upload-manuscript deadline date in her calendar. Big mistake. Huge! Amazon doesn’t like author’s violating the presale …
Falsely Accused & What Comes Next
This feels like a banner day. I’ll do one more… okay, I know I’m lying. It will be at least two more run throughs of Falsely Accused, the last installment of the Haythen Construction Series before uploading them this afternoon. The Amazon deadline for uploading is 4:59pm (my time) this afternoon to satisfy the pre-order …
Why Would You Write This?
I know the plot of Mail Escort, Book Three in the Haythen Construction Series is going to hit a sore spot for some people. The mere thought of taking a lover when your spouse is terminally ill, is repugnant to a lot of people. So why write about it? While researching dementia I came across …
Book 3 Up, Book 4 Ready To Go
My inner reader put one over on my inner writer. “I hate waiting for the next book in the series.” She whined. “You have them all written, make them a week apart. You’ll readers will love you for it! My inner writer, who really, really wants people to like her. Who, incidentally also has …
Book 2 Is Available
Suddenly the world is spinning fast. After this past year of changing my life around, I finally gathered the courage to press upload and send my word-babies out into the ether. Book Two in my Haythen Construction series is available for sale and Book Three will be available on Sunday, July 25, 2021. (Fun fact, …
Book One is LIVE!!
After going cross-eyed editing this series, Haythen Construction Book One, Racing Hearts is finally up for sale. I know how frustrating it is to read a book, be teased about the next book in the series and have it not available to immediately dive into. So… Book Two, Rugby Relationships will be out this weekend, on …
Book Lengths
I have to admit, I love the new book lengths which have emerged with the advent of e-books. With print books, romances needed to be around the 200 page mark to be published. Shorter stories weren’t profitable to print. As a writer, 75-100 pages seems to be my sweet spot. These novels are long enough …
