Um…hi. It’s been an interesting week. I scored virtually zero on the word count meter (I added just 900 new words of fiction this week — blah!), but I kicked butt in several other areas, so I’ll take it! I’ve been working on the blurb for Descent, the book I’ll publish in the next couple […]

Sunday Update: Descent to Beta Readers
Thanks to hubby’s help and a fall festival at a local nursery, I had the house all to myself for a few hours yesterday. I tackled the remaining edits on Descent, the fourth Children of the Sidhe novella, and shipped it off to beta readers. Finally!! Over the course of the week, I wrote 3,300 […]
Mid-Week Update: The Juggle, and Defining Success
The last month has been brutal at work, and my fiction writing has definitely suffered for it. I just completed one major project (for the quarter), but I’m the primary author on a report due in a couple of weeks, so I’ll likely be waking at night thinking about youth in the labor force, not […]
Sunday Update: Slow Start
I hope all of you other writers had a better start to this round than I did. But honestly, with how work has been and editing Brooke Jackson’s novel, I’m glad I put down at least a little word count this week. I chalked up 2,000 words since Monday, and about 1,000 words of plotting […]

The time has come around for another Indie Life post — a chance for independent authors to exchange tips, offer encouragement and chat about all the crazy components of indie author life. I missed Indie Life last month because I was in Kona, Hawaii, having a wonderful […]
Round of Words Goals Post: Fall 2013 Has Arrived
It’s time for another fall with Round of Words in 80 Days, the writing challenge that knows you have a life. At the moment, that’s definitely true — I don’t seem to have time to think, much less write a decent post…so I’ll get right to it and leave the quips for later. 🙂 I […]
New Children of the Sidhe Covers
In preparation for the release of the fourth book in my Children of the Sidhe series, I’ve commissioned new covers from Kellie Dennis at Book Cover by Design. Check ’em out!
A Crazy New Venture: Meet Delilah Vane
So. You’re about to learn how crazy I can be. I took a leap last week, after seeing this blog post from Joe Konrath. He let it slip that he’s done some crazy things under pseudonyms, including challenging himself to write a book and publish it within an hour. He did it four times — […]

Welcome to another month of Indie Life, a chance for indie authors to meet, exchange news and tips, and commiserate on what it means to be an independent author. If you’d like to join us, go here. So…those summer days. They are long. I’m not sure where they’re going. 🙂 I’ve noticed a fair number […]
