I’ve just joined Carrie Ann Ryan’s blog hop site. She organizes blog hops for romance authors what looks to be every few weeks. For the upcoming Autumn’s Harvest Blog Hop, I was the 201st author to sign up, and the list included some big names. I’m looking forward to this, as I’ve been thinking about […]
I hope it’s been a productive week for all of you writers out there. I mostly had a week off as I await more feedback from beta readers — and that’s a good thing. I’m not always the best at giving myself time off, so occasionally it’s nice to find myself without a project needing […]
You’re better than that. Fear seems to be an ever-present bedfellow of the writer, but that doesn’t mean it has to control you. Instead, learn to cozy up to your fears, figure out what makes them tick, and then kick them unceremoniously to the curb. Here are some ways fear has worked its tendrils into […]
Hello again, fellow ROWers. Hope it’s been a great week for you. I haven’t been up to much writing related, and probably won’t be until the weekend. At that point I’m going to incorporate the comments from one beta reader. I’ll probably be hearing from the others within the next week or so. I did […]
I sent Queen Witch to three beta readers on Monday. One of them wrote me back with incredibly helpful comments on the first four chapters the very next day, and another returned the entire manuscript with her comments late last night. I am very excited to hear more about what the others think, pore through […]
Hi there. ROWers, quick update for you: The book I’m planning to publish this round is polished and with beta readers. Now you can keep reading if you want to know what sort of mental state that left me in. Ha! I spent Monday polishing up Queen Witch to get it to my three beta […]
Update 1/30/14: This old post seems to be a big entry point to my blog. Click here for the most recent content. Hello there, and welcome to the final quarter of 2012! Can you believe it? The date is rockin’ my world these days…I can’t believe how time is flying. Anyway, on to my goals […]
I am super excited to show off the cover for Queen Witch, designed by Tishia Mackey of Paragraphic Designs. Woot, woot! I love it! This cover captures several of the essentials of the Foulweather Twins series — the psychokinetic abilities of the witches (yes, they do fly), Sage’s simultaneous innocence and darkness, and the raw […]
We returned yesterday from our final family vacation of the summer, in Sun River, Oregon. My husband’s mom and a couple of his siblings were there, too. Much fun was had, and the time went incredibly quickly. We already have a cabin reserved for next year, and I’m already looking forward to it. 🙂 With […]
Writers and other creative types, if you’re anything like me, you need to check this out. My husband introduced me to this TED Talk by Susan Cain on The Power of Introverts. He said I had to watch it because she was totally talking about me. I think she’s talking about a lot of us […]
