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?

The truth is I write a lot and … Continue reading I Put Words on Paper (or Computers) so I Write Words

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
