Continue reading →: Proofread
Well, I sent the proofreader the manuscript for The Bone Cottage last night! I am all sorts of nervous. You’d think after doing this three other times I’d be used to it but its nerve-wracking to hand over your story, this thing you’ve poured so much of yourself into, and…

Continue reading →: September Updates
Somehow it is September. The last time I even opened this website was March… it has, obviously, been a year. The house is (mostly) settled. There are things here and there that need to be done (looking at you primary bathroom, entry way floors, and back deck…), but paint has…

Continue reading →: Things, Life, and Stuff
Somehow its March. I feel like I have lived a dozen lives since ringing in the New Year with a war cry (we timed it to watch Wicked where the moment the clock struck twelve Elphaba’s war cry sounded…it was amazing). It seemed fitting after the year we’d just had.…

Continue reading →: My Year in Numbers
Every year I do a yearly wrap-up for books read. I typically set a reading goal in January and steadily tick down my number all year long. The last couple of years I’ve been more focused on writing than reading (one of my goals in 2025 to try and find…

Continue reading →: The Finish Line
Yesterday, with twenty days to spare for the deadline, I uploaded all the documents for Pathfinder! I finished work on the cover (which I really love) and everything uploaded seamlessly. And this time, KDP did NOT find spelling errors (though I am sure there are some hidden in there somewhere)!…

Continue reading →: Release Update
Well, as much as I hate to do it, I am pushing the release date of Pathfinder back a couple of weeks. The original release date was 3 December and if you’re one of the six pre-orders, I’m so sorry, but the new date will be 31 December. Life has…

Continue reading →: Lessons Learned
They say you should learn something new every day. I’m not sure who they are, but I am convinced they were an Indie author. Seriously. I have learned more lessons the hard way this year than I ever cared to. The latest? Open every single box from the printer. Period.…

Continue reading →: Release Date!
I received the edits back from my editor, Lindsey for book 2–Pathfinder! It’s been a bit of a challenge to get into the creative headspace for edits and it’s sat in my inbox for a couple of weeks. We were in the path of Hurricane Helene and lost cell service…

Continue reading →: Milestones
Things have been fairly quiet in my corner of the writing world. In the Light of the Moon is out there in the ether and sales have slowed down, though I did hit over 200 books sold!! I realize that 200 books is like a blip to most authors. Hell,…

Continue reading →: Resources
I am someone who is constantly looking for ways to better my craft. I don’t for one second count myself as a success because I’m published. Or as not having room for improvement. There’s always room for improvement. One thing I’m doing is looking to other writers for words of…
