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 …

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 …

Burning is Back on Kobo for FREE!! Permanently!!

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 …

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 …

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.
