…Or so I tell myself! Welcome to Indie Life! This is a chance for indie authors to post about being an independent author, find each other, offer support, encouragement, news, helpful hints. We’re posting the second Wednesday of every month. To join us, go here. Sometimes that indie author to-do list gets long enough you could paper […]
I ran into a post on Ryan Casey’s blog a few days ago about a new publishing platform called Uncovered Books. His post will give you the ins and outs, and if you’re interested, as a reader or a writer, check out the site. This service has yet to launch, it is supposed to be coming […]
I’m happy to announce that my paranormal romance novella Tribute is currently FREE on Amazon! Tribute is a fae-filled paranormal romance, an action-packed romp to the Otherworld, and beyond.

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 […]
After Sunday’s post on editing, I’m going to offer some information about the next step — the possibilities (there are many!) for getting your work out once you’ve completed it. If any other writers or publishing professionals want to add their advice in the comments, or send me a link to their own posts on […]
After my last post, a reader asked about editing. Specifically, what advice do I have for writers who have finished a book, but are stuck at the first edit? Other writers, please chime in by leaving a comment, or write your own post on the topic and let me know; I’ll add a list at […]
