Hey party people! I know it’s a little late BUT I needed to share this. Seether, my favorite band and the muse for the book I’m working on right now, is playing a live shown at the House of Blues in Cleveland Ohio USA and Yahoo! Live is airing it LIVE. RIGHT NOW! This band …
I’m all zen and shit. #amwriting
Good morning, you sexy bitches! “Today is a new day.” – Captain Obvious I don’t know what my problem was yesterday, but, I did not wake up in an aggro state of mind again today. I shouldn’t be allowed to human when I wake up all with this attitude towards everyone: Today, is different. Today, I’m …
I have nothing good to say today, so I’ll give you this instead… #amwriting
I woke up today in the worst mood ever. Not necessarily a bad mood, just a funk of sorts. I have tried the usual suspects – drank a cup of coffee, listened to some music, read some funnies, tried chatting with friends. Nothing has worked. So, rather than try to come up with something nice …
Naughty websites, a new way of writing, and #TheBlacklist is on tonight! (@NBCBlacklist)
What up, peeps? Today has been a busy day, but, I have gotten very little accomplished for myself. I started out my morning by finishing up the website concept design for NYT Bestselling Author T.J. Michaels and doing a little store addition for Nicky Jayne’s website. Nicky’s website is live if you want to go …
#Giveaways and someone is doing the no-pants dance. #amwriting
Is it Friday yet??? I know it’s really early for me to be asking that, but it’s already been a really long week. Since Saturday, I have gotten around 6,000 words written. The problem is, my focus is shot, so, those 6,000 words are broken up over 3 different projects. Here’s what’s happening…. In this …
#TheJudge, #GoingClear, and #amwriting…. (@RobertDowneyJr)
Hey peeps! I let you all know on Saturday’s blog post, but in case you missed it, I spent a good portion of my weekend writing (yay!!!). However, yesterday I spent most of the day fighting a really bad headache. Since I was stuck in bed, I decided to watch a few movies. Are we …
Dance With the Devil and My Cat’s Nuts
Good morning, my loves! I feel like I need to clarify something right out the gate. The title of this post is Dance With the Devil (obviously, you know what that is about) and My Cat’s Nuts. I felt I should just get out of the way right now that we are using Cat’s in …

How to Spend the Rest of Your Life Working Your Ass Off – OR – The Reality of Self-Publishing
Yesterday, I read an article an author friend of mine posted on Facebook. The article was from 2013 and was written by an author who was once traditionally published, and when faced with his next manuscript being rejected by many traditional publishers, decided to turn to self-publishing. What he found was what many of us …
2 Frikkin Post-Its Left!!!!!
When I am editing a book, there are lots of highlighters and Post-It notes involved. Red pens make me cringe, so, I opt for the far more fun neon-colored highlighters and sticky notes. When I started the rewrite on Speak of the Devil, it resulted in somewhere in the neighborhood of 20-25 sticky notes. It …
Sometimes even the pros need to go back to basics…..
Good morning, minions! I know a good number of my followers are writers or aspiring writers. I just did a long post the other day updating everyone on the state of affairs in the Demon Legacy universe, so, this week’s post doesn’t really need to include that info. Instead, I decided to post something which …

Good evening, minions!! Holy hell. I thought I didn’t have enough to say to warrant a whole blog post, but here we go! FACE LIFT As some of you cyber stalkers out there may have seen it already, but I have been doing a little update to my site. What do you think?? I was …
I’m pouting and it’s partly Hardwick’s fault…. (@Nerdist #SDCC )
I’m sitting here at my desk…..pouting. I know I could be doing something productive, like maybe working on Speak of the Devil or one of the other 8,000,000,000,000.3 things I have on my never-ending to-do list. But, no. I’m pouting. Why? You want to know why?!?!?!?! MAYBE BECAUSE CHRIS HARDWICK IS DOING THIS: There is …

What up, bitches?!?!?!?
It’s been a while since I did any sort of real check in, so I figured, what better time than now! I have been busy on so many fronts it is ridiculous! First, The Devil You Know is still holding strong on the charts. It’s dropped a little bit, but not too much. As of …

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 …

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
