Recent Events

Here you’ve heard me talk quite a bit about Indie Author Day and those who follow me on Facebook have gotten to hear me go on about Boise Book Fest. With the two events running back-to-back weekends, it was hard not to be super excited about both. I didn’t get the chance to escape my table for IndieContinue reading “Recent Events”

Is it ready yet? #IWSG

This month’s question is: When do you know your story is ready? Um… I don’t? Looking back at Twisted Magics, I’m sure I could have spent more time on it. I could have driven myself even more mad and kept working on it. But then I’d never move on. The truth is I had someoneContinue reading “Is it ready yet? #IWSG”

Reading Recommendations and Indie Author Day

I finally just sat down and started working my way through my backlog on reading. I previously read This World Bites by Loni Townsend, which I thoroughly enjoyed and am now working my way through Thanmir War. I highly recommend fantasy readers to take a look at her work. She’ll be at Indie Author Day inContinue reading “Reading Recommendations and Indie Author Day”

Indie Author Day

Indie Author Day is in a couple of weeks. Events will be held nationally so check out their listing of which libraries are participating for the one closest to you. I’m getting excited (and quite nervous) about it. I’ll be at the Boise downtown library with copies of Twisted Magics for sale. There will beContinue reading “Indie Author Day”

Now what?

I know, not a Muse Monday post. On Thursday I started sending out my beta file to people. While I wouldn’t mind a few more beta readers the ones who have it now already have me wringing my hands in worry. I’m running my beta period until January 1st so I can work on otherContinue reading “Now what?”

Muse Monday: Why?

Today’s post is going to be a bit different. Yesterday while I worked on edits so I can get Shattered Illusions out to my beta readers, part of my mind decided to wander. I shared the questions on Facebook and got a couple of responses. They were very similar, but off enough I could see theContinue reading “Muse Monday: Why?”

Time? #IWSG

This month’s IWSG question is: how do you find the time to write in your busy day? I stopped and went “what time?” as I’ve been mostly ignoring it for the past couple of weeks. And as much as my schedule increased in terms of how busy it got this year with the little one startingContinue reading “Time? #IWSG”

What just happened?

It’s been a pretty busy time period. Little one started preschool. Needing to get her signed up for her other activities such as dance class. The hot air balloon festival (the picture is actually from last year’s festival – haven’t even downloaded the ones from this year yet never mind edited them). Husband’s extended familyContinue reading “What just happened?”

Muse Monday: Side Stories

The original version of Twisted Magics started roughly 2 years before the final version. I still have the files (it was horrible). A few people were unfortunate to have been exposed to it, but not all is lost. The rough ideas are still there. And I’ve started digging them back out to rewrite. I’ve beenContinue reading “Muse Monday: Side Stories”

Game Night Tales: Olympics

Before I start, no we didn’t have a special Olympics event. However, our fail ninja did actually manage to look spectacular in front of other people for once. Usually Sarla only pulls off epic feats when no one is looking and and soon as other PCs are watching her, the dice hate the player. InContinue reading “Game Night Tales: Olympics”
