Sometimes, muses prove invasive. I won’t lie. My word count isn’t where I would like it to be. I’ve still been writing, but I feel more like I’m wading through molasses than managing anything productive. A spring trip to the Florida Keys brought a welcome respite. I honestly haven’t traveled on vacation in years, soContinue reading “Hunting For Inspiration”

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. One of my biggest regrets of 2022 was not achieving any of my writing goals and really not cobbling together a functional writing (and marketing) schedule. But when you’re working two jobs, you justContinue reading “Why Hello There!”

Reflection And A Glance At What’s Ahead
2021 served as a year of change for me, starting on a low note by not receiving a dream job. However, a few months later, I landed another dream job, which I think has been dreamier. 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”
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. For the beta reader, they get to read a book before anyone else! It is a win-win situation for all parties involved.Continue reading “Beta readers wanted!”

Descent update and other life events
I’m approaching the midpoint in initial Descent edits, which is massively behind where I’d envisioned I would be in April. I’ve been under a lot of stress in my professional life as I looked to transition from one career to a new one. Pair that with a nasty upper respiratory infection, and you’ve got aContinue reading “Descent update and other life events”
