So, life is getting in the way and a move across the country is moving from maybe to definite. (Cue the panicked look around my cluttered office when I realize I’m going to have to start sorting the piles of papers) Stupid me, put the cart before the horse and I saw an amazing …
September
Goals for the month: Release the box set for Haythen Construction. All six books in one volume. It will be available in paperback for all of you who prefer a physical book. Sadly, the 90-minute reads were too short to individually publish in paperback. Finish the last bit of editing for Redefining Naomi. Time to …
New Computer and New Coffee Maker
Now, I know you’ere wondering why these two purchases are highlighting this week’s post. Then again, if you’re anything like me, you’re wondering why they aren’t in bold lettering and have fireworks going off in the background. They are both items vital to life as we know it. Our coffee maker was on it’s last …
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 …
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 …
Exploding Brain
It’s been a busy week and I think my brain is about to explode. Books 1 & 2 are up for sale and Book 3 is in the queue waiting to be released into the wilds of the internet. I’m doing the final edits and formatting for book 4 while books 5 & 6 are …
New Phone
My new phone arrived on Monday and I’m super excited about it. My old one was slowly becoming toast and I needed something reliable to keep up with my imagination. I’ve been playing with speech to text for story writing. Let me tell you, it’s a challenge. I usually feel like a three-year-old hopped up …
Writing During A Heat Wave
If you watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer, you may recall a scene where she’d just saved the world (again) and she told Giles how badly her brain was fried. Giles started poetically waxing on about the events that had just occurred and Buffy looked at him and repeated, “Fire bad, tree pretty.” That’s how …
Tough Job
It’s a tough job but somebody has to do it. What’s a tough job you ask? Finding suitably yummy men to be on my book covers. All these naked muscle-y chests… what’s a girl to do. Honestly, it’s a good thing my husband doesn’t have a clear view of my computer screen. I’m not so …
New Editing Toy
I’m going to geek out here for a minute, so I’ll beg your indulgence. I’ve been going cross-eyed while editing the Haythen Construction Series. My brain definitely leans toward story-telling and away from things like apostrophes and not overusing my ‘buts’. Seriously, the number of wayward apostrophes when I type is unreal. Some day I’ll …
