A New Chapter with Amazon’s KDP Select
Tribute and Vessel, the first two novellas in the Children of the Sidhe paranormal romance series, are now listed exclusively with Amazon’s KDP Select program. I’m taking Amazon up on a program that has helped many independent authors gain exposure, right alongside authors taking a more traditional publishing route. I’m going to talk first about […]

Sunday Update: Shenanigans

Last week, I finished the final round of revisions to Queen Witch. Extensive changes resulted from one beta reader’s input. […]
My Favorite Baby Books
I reached a bit of a tearful milestone the other day, as I acknowledged it was time to clean my girls’ bookshelf and get rid of books geared for younger kids. My oldest just turned four, and her sister is two. They still get a kick out of the board books, especially the lift the […]
