Young Love In A Galaxy Undone

As I work on “Legacy,” it’s been fun spending time with Mina. Her perspective differs from Katya’s, though I would say her guardian has rubbed off on her in some ways. Not that she’d like to admit it at the moment. Teens. 🙄 But really, that age difference has made “Legacy” so fresh for meContinue reading “Young Love In A Galaxy Undone”

Why Hello There!

It’s been quite a while. As I’ve previously hinted, my life remains pretty hectic since I’m pulling 50-60 hour work weeks.

But when you’re working two jobs, you justContinue reading “Why Hello There!”

Because I’m a glutton for punishment, I’ve stayed on as a part-time editor for one publication at my previousContinue reading “Reflection And A Glance At What’s Ahead”

Platforming Dabbles: The Struggle For Eyes Never Ends

Authors eternally seek ways to engage potential readers — the umpteenth social media account, newsletters, artwork galore, podcasts, video, etc. Some writers do well with a relatively tight platform, while others utilize quite a few avenues. There is no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to platforming. And speaking from experience, it can be incredibly hardContinue reading “Platforming Dabbles: The Struggle For Eyes Never Ends”

Beta readers wanted!

Beta readers are a major part of the writing process for most writers. They help catch issues with manuscript that a writer, far too close to it, might miss or not even consider.
