I keep promising myself to keep up with regular blog updates, with book release announcements and works in progress. It’s… not really going that well. As you can see by the desert that is this blog. This year has been especially tough what with the entire world at the moment and some personal losses closer […]
So The time has finally come. Today Forgotten Monster gets unleashed upon the world in all its glory. I gotta admit, I’m a little nervous. But at least the cover is absolutely fantastic. Look at all that beauty. (Cover designed by Natasha Snow) Okay. Now that I’ve drooled over the cover again, back to the […]
By now most everyone has heard the news but just in case: Less Than Three Press is closing. Considering my book, Forgotten Monster, was due to be released by them in… just about three weeks you might say the news has hit me pretty hard, especially in a year where I saw some pretty painful […]
It came to me earlier while I was doing non-writing related things and my mind started to wander as it often does: why outlines sabotage me. I think sabotage is the right word. I know a lot of people swear by outlines, whether they be loose or written with beat by beat precision, and I’ve […]
On the very first page of my very first diary in big round I’m-still-learning-to-write printing was one sentence. I love David Bowie. I was probably six or seven at the time. Labyrinth was my life and David Bowie and the Goblin King were my first loves. Over the years I fell in love with David […]
So, in case the title wasn’t clear, it’s cover reveal time. It’s very exciting. *throws confetti* I’m excited. Are you excited? Because you should be. My very snazzy friend Kai Kiriyama has a book coming out in August. She also let me ask her some more ridiculous questions (aka: an “interview”) about the book and […]
So. Now I’ve been tagged twice for this blog hop. I figured it was time to actually post my entry about my writing process. I’m slow, but I’m posting now so that should count for something. For those that don’t know how this works: I got tagged by Murphy and now R. James Stevens. So […]
I’ve been neglecting my blog for far too long. So it’s Trifecta time once again! This week’s prompt was “ass”. How could I skip that? ******* Ford was an ass and Bree would have told him so if it wasn’t for the gun pointed at her head. But she thought it. A lot. Dumb-ass. She […]
So. I’ve been thinking about my prose a lot. (And about how I haven’t blogged nearly enough lately but that’s a blog post for another day.) Like most writers I know, my prose concerns me. Too flowery? Not flowery enough? Does it read like an encyclopedia? Am I boring people with my straightforward “he did […]
So, maybe it’s just me but sometimes when I’m writing I find myself wondering “exactly what DOES that look like?” Today was no different. In the process of writing some fanfiction (yes I write fanfiction when the urge strikes) I came upon a problem: What do burning/burnt feathers look like? And so like any good […]
