In case you didn’t notice the WIP progress bar on the sidebar over there, I FINISHED the first draft of Intoxication (Firmament Book 9) today! I’m really proud of my consistency in getting it done, and while it definitely needs work, I’m overall happy with how it turned out. In honor of this momentous occasion, I found an excerpt that…
For a very long time, Firmament: Eleftheria, book seven in the Firmament series, was sitting at somewhere around fifty percent on the “WIP progress bar” on the side of this website. In fact, I started writing it in 2017 as my NaNoWriMo project for the year. I didn’t win NaNo that year, and I didn’t finish the book then or…
Now that I’m between writing projects for a little while, I want to start doing the short reviews for the books I read last year — but first I have one post I need to write. It’s very late in coming, but it’s important! I realized when I opened this website last year for the first time in awhile that…
If you haven’t heard — I’m doing NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) this year for the first time in years. The last time I did it successfully was 2015, and I tried it in 2017 only to make it less than halfway through. This year, I decided kind of last minute that I wanted to go for it. Sure, that…
I have been waiting over a year to share this cover with you! The beautiful artwork was finished by the talented Michael McDevitt in June of last year, but I didn’t put all the text and everything on until I had the book ready to publish. That happened this week, so I put the finishing touches on it. I also…
Well, now it’s public and I can finally admit the main reason I’ve had so much trouble keeping up with blogging, writing, emails, and really all forms of pretty much everything. After many years of creating fictional people to populate the pages of my stories, it’s time for me to make a real person to populate my home! Yes, my…
It’s that time of year again! The time for buying presents, making wish lists, and planning New Year’s Resolutions. If any of those activities involve books for you, I have an announcement that just might be right up your alley. From Nov 24th through Nov 30th, a huge selection of independently published Christian books are on sale. You can find…
I took a year off from NaNoWriMo last year–I was working full time and already stressed, and then later that month I ended up getting engaged, so the timing just wasn’t great. It made me sad, but I knew I needed to prioritize and let some stuff go. This year, however, while I’m still busy, I’m much more flexible. So…
After some ups and downs in the production process, the Implant audiobook is finally available for sale on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes! This was my first time commissioning someone else to produce an audiobook–since Implant has a male protagonist, I wanted a male narrator, and this guy did a brilliant job capturing the story and the atmosphere of the dystopian…
It all started one October day in 2012, when I was ironing clothes in my family’s guest house. Leaves were falling. The hot iron-smell was in the air. And my thoughts were far away. I was pondering myself, my friends, and issues that we dealt with. Certain relationships in my life. Certain topics that had come to the forefront of…
