Winter of the Wolf First Draft is Done!

It’s not pretty, but it’s done. Clocking in at 192,123 words, it’s my longest book yet. I’m hoping I can trim a little, though first reader has had no luck in identifying what can go. It’s all necessary because the …

Blurb for Rise of the Storm!

After wrangling with my book description for months, I finally broke down and got a professional to do it. I love the results! When a renegade priest prophesies an imminent apocalypse, a conflict is sparked which will tip a continent …

State of the Book (s)

If it looks like I’ve been AWOL from this blog (except for weekends), I have. And I have excuses! Lots of ’em, as usual. First of all, I finished my book! At least, I did a thorough copyedit and shipped …

Postcrastination and a Pep Talk to Myself

2014 All Wrapped Up

It’s a good thing I keep a journal. In looking back on the year, it felt like I’d done nothing but write fiction. That was not altogether true. While 2014 was by far my most productive fiction-writing year yet, I …

I have arrived at the dreaded middle . . .

Changing Things Up. Again.

I swear, I’m not normally this flaky. People who know me in real life consider me stern and serious. I only say this because I’m pretty sure that no one who knows me in real life reads this blog unless …
