Thanks for all of the great comments on the Summer Lovin’ Blog Hop over the weekend. Hops are so much fun, and such a great way to find new authors, new books and new friends. The winner of the prize here on my blog is Wanda Craighead! I’ve just sent Wanda a $20 Amazon gift […]
Summer Lovin’ Blog Hop!
Welcome to the Summer Lovin’ Blog Hop hosted by Jane Wakely at Romance Blog Hops (hopswithheart.blogspot.com)! And isn’t she right? Romance is a great way to beat the heat! Now that the spring fever has passed and summer vacations are ahead, it’s time to fill out that vacation reading list! I would, of course, love […]
Mid-Week Update: Back to Shield
I swear, I’m back to writing the book I’m supposed to be focused on! 🙂 A few weeks ago, I entered a stalling phase on Shield, the final Children of the Sidhe novella. It was all going so well, and then the fear got ahold of me. The FINAL book in a series. With all […]
Mid-Week Update: Stalling Tactics
I’ve been avoiding my major writing project for more than a week now. Shield is two-thirds written, and it’s pretty typical of me to get stuck about here. So wish me courage and a little get-up-and-go on that one. 🙂 Does that mean I haven’t been writing? lol. No! I’ve been writing plenty. I’ve started […]
Project FAILED: A Marketing Example from Craft Brewing
In the great land of Oregon….we brew beer. Well, I don’t brew beer personally. But one of my besties was among the first female brewers in the state, and she used to bring me free beer all the time…but enough about that. 🙂 This week I was in the mood for a microbrew, and it’s […]
Sunday Update: Good Writing Week!
I was on vacation last week, and it shows in my word count. 🙂 Monday through Wednesday I was at a little cabin up in the woods with my two daughters and our dog (poor hubby had to work. Like LOTS of work.). The girls and I hiked, had movie night, and just played around. […]
Tending Your Writer Garden: the Old & the New
Spring is a time of growth, and this spring has seemed especially so. It may be that I’ve been settled in this home, and in some new life roles (namely, motherhood), for just about six years now. Long enough for roots to deepen and thrive. Here’s one of my gardens now. Mostly strawberries and hostas; […]
Sunday Update: Finally Rocking Shield!
It’s been quite a week for this fantasy writer. I released a novel last weekend, and then took a couple of days off from writing. But after a couple of days, I got really excited about my next big project — the one that moved into “primary writing project” stage when I hit publish and […]
Sunday Update: Chaos Calling Released Yesterday!
My first goal for the spring was to publish the second novel in my Foulweather Twins fantasy series. DONE! Chaos Calling is out now. One more book to go in the series. I’ve also thought of a possible spin-off series, but I’m not committed to it at this point. Fun choices for a writer — […]
New Release! Chaos Calling Is Available Now!
The second novel in my Foulweather Twins fantasy series hit the e-shelves this afternoon! If you haven’t read the first book, Queen Witch is on sale for $2.99 through May 10th. You can find Chaos Calling on Amazon US, Amazon UK, (plenty of other Amazons), and Smashwords. It’ll be out next week on Barnes & Noble […]
