New Bonus Content – “The Eighth” Part 3
It's my birthday weekend, so here's a gift for you! I recently added a new Part 3 onto the end of "The Eighth" (Intro to the Alt-World Chronicles). This little scene, tacked onto the end of the previously existing short story, gives a brand new perspective…
Languages are fun. I always like using names that mean something relevant to the story I’m writing. This time, I’ve got an interesting mix of Spanish, Japanese, Swahili, and English going on!
Lots and lots of boat research today. Clearly I need to expand my knowledge considering the main source that I keep drawing from is…
That moment when you realize you’re on chapter 9 and have the audacity to think your first draft will be done by Christmas… 😬
Weird book research for the day: laser tag.
I think I’ve committed to the first line of the next book!
“He found the mermaid’s body, first by smell.”
Oh, riiiiiight. Now I have to write the next one.
New Release – “The Fairy Master Capturi”
Book 4 of "The Alt-World Chronicles" is finally here! This is a kind of spinoff/sequel and follows Piper, Dax, and Max as they continue the war against the destroyer gods. See more about the book and where it's available HERE Also, for a limited time, the…
Love this early review of my new book!
“The Fairy Master Capturi” comes out next week! Am I prepared? Not even close. 😬
I have 31,807 words written for my next books…as notes. I have over 30k words worth of notes. 🤦♀️ Might be time to outline.
How I motivate myself 😂
Join my Reading Team for The Alt-World Chronicles!
With "The Fairy Master Capturi" coming out early this summer, I'm reviving my ARC Team for The Alt-World Chronicles. If you're interested in reading any (or all) of the books in this series -- with the understanding that you will then write honest…
Mug of truth.
“The Alt-World Chronicles” News!
For those of you who follow me on social media (Facebook and Instagram), you might've seen the new covers I created for the prequel and the first 3 books in the series. I did this largely because I lost the artwork for the previous covers and needed to make a new,…
My Google searches for this book have a weird range…
Writing middle-aged characters works a bit differently now that I’m middle-aged myself. I’m finding that I have a lot more experience to draw from when describing aches and pains. 😂
20th Anniversary of “The Kota Series”
I can't believe it has been 20 years since I finished the main books for The Kota Series! In reality, this series started when I was 9 years old, back when my mom suggested I write a story about the "game" we played every day as kids. (I'm not going to do the…
Anyone else lurk in online writing groups just so you can see other people struggling and feel better about whatever annoys you at the moment with your own projects? …Or just me?
I know a lot of people hate editing, but formatting is editing’s evil twin. Ugh. 😣
When updating an existing 6-part series, it’s a good idea to remember that it’s a 7-part series. 😂🤦♀️
Okay. Edits mostly done. Giving this thing a read-through before handing it to fresh eyes.
I was feeling very tired of editing, so to get the vibe of my books back in my head, I reworked the cover art today. Creative shifts help me immensely. ❤️
