A number of years ago I asked myself a question when watching an alien invasion movie. What if humanity lost the war? And after all when faced with a race capable of reaching our planet with war weapons... it would be silly to think we would win. From that question and one more (namely: what … Continue reading What if the Aliens won?

The Author’s Fan Art
Who says you can't do fan art for your own stories? As the date for Spider's Gambit's release comes closer (August 19th... I swear I'm over here biting my nails!) I thought it would be fun for me to review some of the covers I tried to make myself... no not as in using a … Continue reading The Author’s Fan Art
#1… It’s Such a Pretty Number
I recieved a peice of exciting news today. For the first time I got to see the prettiest of numbers attached to a book I'm involved with. You know what number I mean #1!!! Monsters, Movies and Mayhem was #1 in new release horror anthologies. https://books2read.com/u/mYpvwd I feel like with all the bad news going … Continue reading #1… It’s Such a Pretty Number
The Lost Path, Found
https://youtu.be/xo1VInw-SKc I can’t tell you how many times I’ve wanted to give up. As an author, as a girlfriend, as a student, as an employee…it’s the same urge. Just bone-aching tiredness inside and knowing that I’ll never get to what I want. Even if I got there, the goal would move and leave me grasping. … Continue reading The Lost Path, Found
I Put Words on Paper (or Computers) so I Write Words
A question I’ve been hearing a lot of recently is “So what do you normally write? What is your passion?” My auto response has been that I write science fiction with an eye to fantasy, but the more I think about it, the more that isn’t true. The truth is I write a lot and … Continue reading I Put Words on Paper (or Computers) so I Write Words
Taglines and Editing
Who knew that writing twenty words could take a week? Well… most author’s doing this longer than me. This week my quest was to write my logline, and to a lesser extent my pitch. Read a couple articles, jumped in wrote it. Read a couple more, rewrote every word (well almost.) Then I shared it … Continue reading Taglines and Editing
I am a Rock
Currently, I’m listening to Simon & Garfunkel on repeat, in specific I Am a Rock. I’ve never met anyone else who does this, that is, listens to a single song on repeat for hours at a time. But for me there is nothing better than finding that single song that speaks to your soul in … Continue reading I am a Rock

Adventures in Photography
I left my cave today and ventured into the world. I scheduled an appointment to go to a studio to have a headshot taken. It was an odd experience, explaining to people that I’m an author. Though it still feels like it’s a HUGE fib…but regardless that’s why I needed professional headshots. I started off the experience … Continue reading Adventures in Photography
March May be my New Favorite Month
I didn't expect to be making a post like this one...especially not after my last post. Another wonderful first occurred. My Flash Fiction piece Little Cracks has been picked up by Acidic Fiction. Don't know a lot of details yet, and I'm not sure I could process details anyway. I wrote my first book when … Continue reading March May be my New Favorite Month
