Last weekend before I start my adventure taking statistical courses at the local university. Despite it being seven years since I was last in a classroom, I feel as ready as I can be. With classes overlapping my typical work schedule, I have already planned to make up the time during lunch breaks and on … Continue reading A Whole New Adventure is About to Begin

Post Release Thoughts and Next WIP
I used to think publishing my books would get easier over time. But it’s still a major emotional roller coaster of anxiety, happiness, and fear. Will my book do well? Will it find its audience? Will people want to read it? I kind of feel I just dropped my child off at the college … Continue reading Post Release Thoughts and Next WIP
This Year’s NaNoWriMo Project
It’s the start of the National Novel Writing Month. This is my 3rd year participating, but it is the first year I’m actually writing a first draft. Usually, I’m either revising or editing.

New Manuscript Update
It’s the end of another semester. A time where I review the work I’ve done on my latest manuscript. Though, I have three in line, I’ve been focusing the past several months on what was known as ‘project one’. It has upgraded to ‘manuscript one’ – yeah I know, big upgrade LOL (title TBA). I’ve … Continue reading New Manuscript Update

A few days ago, I finished writing my first draft of a battle scene for my next manuscript. I thought finding the right words would come easily after writing and revising Death Island.
