Back in February/March, I sat down and set up a schedule to deal with getting Twisted Magics ready for publication. This included my desire to try and get work done on the second book during Camp NaNoWriMo in April. I decided everything would be done by the end of April so I could enjoy May asContinue reading “Stick to the plan”

Let the countdown begin!
Twisted Magics will be available in 6 weeks on June 21st. In the meantime, I’ve linked to several places that pre-orders can be placed (including print copies now) below. To add to the fun, I will be taking questions from the comments that I will answer in my post next week. Ebook versions are availableContinue reading “Let the countdown begin!”
Twisted Magics cover reveal!
Twisted Magics ebook versions are already available for pre-order through Amazon, Smashwords, B&N, iBooks, Kobo, and some others that I can’t remember. If you have a different preferred company for ebooks, feel free to ask and I’ll check if it is up. And yes, I am listed on Goodreads already (I really need a newContinue reading “Twisted Magics cover reveal!”
Chain reaction #IWSG
The first chain reaction was glancing at my feed this morning and realizing that while I had planned a post for tomorrow, I totally forgot about #IWSG. The one I actually want to talk about is a short story (well part of one since I can’t seem to stay short) that I have up forContinue reading “Chain reaction #IWSG”
Hair pulling levels of frustration
I’ve gotten both copies of the print version in as proofs, but the excitement from that is far overridden by the frustration that my tax information keeps getting kicked back as invalid by both Createspace and KDP. That and my husband sitting next to me and reading one of them is kind of weirding meContinue reading “Hair pulling levels of frustration”
Coming soon is coming soon
Ugh! I am not a patient person (actually, I am…most of the time). I’ve been twiddling my thumbs, waiting for paperwork to come in the mail so I can move forward and can start setting up for a cover reveal and whatnot. Okay, I’ve been working on some side projects and staring at my secondContinue reading “Coming soon is coming soon”
Taking another look
It’s April and I decided to take another crack at Camp NaNoWriMo. Choosing to do a revision, that meant I had to look at the mess that is book 2. I got distracted and blah blah blah boring stuff. Needless to say I recently got back to it (after driving myself mad trying to reviveContinue reading “Taking another look”
Final Preparations #IWSG
When the reality starts setting in that this part of myself will be out in the world relatively soon. I’ve gone back and forth in thinking about what people have said to me and advice I’ve read. Am I ready? Should I push back my release date (no, I haven’t officially announced one, but IContinue reading “Final Preparations #IWSG”
Going against the norm
As I quickly wrap up the last edits for Twisted Magics, I keep thinking about something that one of the members of my little critique group brought up about ditching my final chapter. His point was because my story has turned into this “hero quest” and those usually end shortly after the final battle. AndContinue reading “Going against the norm”
Why do you write?
This question has come up lately. Among a number of other questions that I also cringe and don’t want to answer, but this one I think at least needs to be told. I began writing stuff on my own when I was 10 or 11. Somewhere around there. I was always reading above my gradeContinue reading “Why do you write?”
