Allow Me To Introduce You To….
One of the craziest things about being an author is that it is so much less competitive than I would have ever thought. Not in every aspect, of course: it is still extremely competitive to find representation or a publisher. But, most of my fellow authors have been very kind and supportive. In fact, the…

Greetings and Salutations…
Well… What can I say? It has been awhile… a long while… But, I am back! When I last posted, my audiobook had just come out courtesy of the hard work of the publisher I’m Hearing Stories and the incomparable voice talent of Ms. Jen Carmody. If you haven’t given it a listen yet, I…

My Audiobook Is Out!
I have had the amazing opportunity to produce an audiobook of my debut novel, A Good Kind of Crazy, with a company called I’m Hearing Stories. The publisher of the print and ebook versions of my book, Solstice Publishing, does not deal with audiobooks, so producing one had not even been on my radar. Therefore, when…

The Inevitable World of Reviews
**It has been an exciting time around here, with much going on! First off, let me apologize for my long absence from writing blog posts. This fall, my family got involved with helping a family who had fallen in hard times due to job loss and subsequent homelessness. As this is a situation close to…

Love really does come softly sometimes…
While I was writing my third book, I liked it. It didn’t always pour out of me like it had with the first two. There were lots of starts and stops this time with the editing of my second book, the trying to get the first one published, my surgery and recovery, getting a contract…

Dying here….
A few weeks ago, I was notified by my publisher that my book had been assigned to an editor. This was also the week my cover was chosen and things felt like they were moving along, so needless to say, I got excited! I am still excited! I see how well the other authors with…

Exciting Stuff!
Today, I got an exciting email from my publisher. The cover of my book has been finalized and I now have been assigned an editor. I have done everything I can on my end until the editor is finished, then I will make the suggested changes and so it shall go back and forth between…

The Process Continues…
The last two weeks have been filled with adventure in preparation for the publication of my first manuscript. I have sent my social media links, a summary of my book, a biography, the dedication and acknowledgements, a photo for the back cover, and chosen my cover art, as well . The whole thing seems surreal.…

WooHoo!
Well, today was a shocker! I casually opened my email and saw a message from a publisher to whom I had recently submitted my first manuscript. I didn’t think much about it, expecting it to be another rejection. In fact, I almost just dumped it without opening it. But, I didn’t, and when I opened…
