The Ever Evolving Process: Idea to Published Book
Over the last two years my process for getting from initial idea to actual published book has evolved. While I'd started many books prior, Blue Violet was the first book I finished. I'll be honest...looking back I was a hot mess. I wrote on gut instinct alone and the original final draft needed a helluva... Continue Reading →
Sarai’s Fortune – Drafting & Editing
With each book I write I find that my method keeps getting more complicated (or detailed maybe is a better word) as I learn more techniques that are effective for my writing. I also find that the "mistakes" I've made consistently in the past I'm not making so much any more. So the good news is... Continue Reading →
Rewrites: Changing a Scene

I'm still floating on the news that Andromeda's Fall and the Shadowcat Nation series have been contracted by The Wild Rose Press!!! It's an exciting new step in path as an author. I will be very curious to see how working with TWRP differes from all my self-publishing efforts to date. Will my background hinder... Continue Reading →
Contract!!! – The Wild Rose Press
I am very excited to announce that I am now a contracted author! About a year ago I start the process of querying editors and agents as I pursued more traditional publishing while continuing with self-publishing (which I still love). You authors know the drill.  I could wallpaper my bathroom with the form rejection letters in... Continue Reading →
