I think I might be in shock or something… Somewhere near noontime today, The Devil You Know went live. As in it’s published. It’s actually published. THE DEVIL YOU KNOW IS PUBLISHED. On both Amazon and Kobo. Yep, doesn’t matter how many times I say it, it’s just not sinking in. Not to mention the …

COVER REVEAL: Speak of the Devil (Demon Legacy #2) Due Out June 2014
Ok, so I was going to wait until the release date got closer before I confirmed this but since I saw someone else use a different version of the image that I used (mind you, their cover looks MUCH different from mine), I wanted to get this out there so people dont end up thinking …
Burning is Back on Kobo for FREE!! Permanently!!
When I wrote Burning, I never intended to charge for it. It was an unplanned short story and my original goal was to just give it away. Well, Amazon doesn’t make having a book listed for free very easy. Unless you are in a particular program, the minimum price they allow is $0.99 (USD). If …

Hey everyone! I wanted to pop by and check in with you all to let you know where my progress stands and give you some news.
Happy New Year and Looking Forward
I know things have been relatively quiet out of me lately. There’s a perfectly good explanation and I will kick it off with the fact that I am sick as hell. And I am quite possibly the world’s biggest baby when I am sick. Ok, maybe not the world’s biggest but I am certainly in …

Book One News, Burning Paperbacks and My Kindle Promotion…
Hey everyone! I promise I am working diligently on The Devil You Know and I am not far from being done. I have started editing while writing which means that the editing is going to be faster once the final draft is complete BUT it also means that getting to that finish point is taking …
Missed deadlines suck…..BUT….
So I missed my “I’m going to have The Devil You Know finished by December 14th” self imposed deadline. So, today I took a day off from work to completely dedicate to writing. If you need me, I will be busy banging my head on my desk as I try to piece all of this …
A Deadline and a Case of Artwork-Fueled Motivation

My Post-Burning To-Do List
Now that the Burning Blog Tour is all wrapped up, I am back to working and focusing on The Devil You Know. I have been bugging out about Burning’s lack of stellar sales and then this morning, it dawned on me – it doesn’t really matter. What matters is The Devil You Know. Thanks to …
Damn the Formatting Genie!!!
So it was brought to my attention yesterday that there are random question marks throughout Burning. Apparently, the formatting genie was in a bitchy mood when he or she got a hold of my book. I wanted to drop in to let you all know that I have fixed the formatting issue and I have …
The Burning Blog Tour Continues and Much Thanks Spewing All Over the Place!!

Hello humans! Being someone who does reviews, I have been DYING to see some reviews on my book. And they’re finally coming out! Burning is now averaging 4.40 stars on Goodreads and the only major complaint is that Burning is so short. Well, that was the point so I call it a success! The plan …
Happy Burning Release Day!!!!
Hey everyone! I am happy to announce Burning is officially now available on Amazon! I stayed up until far too late last night so I could hit publish at midnight. Apparently, Amazon views times as a relative thing because my publication date on Amazon is showing as October 1st. Oh well. It’s up and that’s …
The Paperback Proofs of ‘Burning’ Have Been Ordered!
Thanks to a problem with the artwork (that I couldn’t see but CreateSpace apparently could), my paperbacks were delayed in getting ordered. I am desperately hoping that they get here a heck of a lot faster than they are expected. However, it’s not terribly important saying as having Burning available as a paperback was kind …
Lil’ Sneak Peek!
Everything around her started to fade slightly and she knew that she was going to black out. The last thing she remembered was the possessed man stalking towards her with an evil grin spread across his face. He crouched down to a kneeling position and whispered, “This is going to hurt, child.” There was no …

ARC GIVEAWAY!!!!
So, I thought long and hard about this and decided that I am going to do an ARC giveaway for Burning. It’s going to be free when it is published so its not a price thing. This gives you the opportunity to get it before it is released.
A Burning Facelift
Yesterday, I got to share the news about Lola Rayne’s debut release (that I am SUPER DUPER excited about!!!). Today, it’s my turn to share my news.

Sweet dreams are made of these….
One of the things I see a lot in my Pure Textuality travels is author interviews on other blogs. One of the more popular questions to authors is in regards to what music they listen to when writing. Well, I got thinking about this idea of music while writing and I am one of those …
Burning Version 6.4.6.5.3.1.1.3.4.212
Well, the rewrites are done and I have fired the newly edited Burning off to the beta readers. I have already received feedback from one of them where she caught a few little details that were off (thank you Ginny Lurcock!). I fixed those details and resent the file off to the other three. Now …
Feeling Much Better About Things….
BURNING UPDATE – Friday night, I stayed up until an obnoxious hour rewriting one of the two scenes that needed to be fixed and I am VERY happy with the results. Hoping that my beta readers feel the same way. 🙂 I have started mapping out the fix on the second scene and I think …
12 Pages Down and 1 to Go!!
Round Two of edits on Burning have commenced!! I have taken care of 12 of the 13 pages of grammatical bombs. After I finish the last page, I need to fix two scenes that don’t quite site right, then it’s back to page one to look for mistakes. A few times through and I might …
