We’re breaking up

Let's begin. Again. I had gotten really good at posting here on a regular basis. Then NaNoWriMo happened and everything went to hell. If it wasn't something that *had* to be done, it didn't get taken care of - blog posts, posts on social media, laundry, vacuuming, you name it - and that lasted longer …

Publishing countdown

One month to release: It's Labor Day Weekend in the United States and, like a lot of people, we're visiting with family and planning for a day of cooking out and swimming. That doesn't mean my work has stopped. If anything, because my husband is off for the holiday tomorrow and we're staying with my …

Britton grows up in this one

I finished writing a book yesterday. That's it. Well, not really. I also made tacos for dinner and got my kid to our Girl Scout meeting on time. #winning Let me talk about this next book for a quick second, though. Letters From Emily covers a lot of time. Years. It covers her meeting Brian …

To Do: focus

I'm past the deadline I set for myself. I had every intention of finishing "Letters From Emily" by May 12 ... until my novella turned into more of a novel than I anticipated. The first draft is close to done, but it's still a first draft. That doesn't mean a whole lot for me because …

I’m just going to rest my eyes for a minute

You guys. I put the books on sale. Again. I need to stop doing that. I also need to stop forgetting to tell people they're on sale when they're on sale, so ... But, in case you need them, here are the links: To Hold is on sale for $0.99 ... in the US and …

Does this thing work?

I'm attempting to start a newsletter. Since I obviously have done everything else for this writing gig out of order, this may as well come after the third book and before the nervous breakdown.
