How’s that for a title? Icarus Rising is done. That’s the space opera. The one I’ve been working on for far too long. I decided to change it from many pov characters to just two, and that really made the…
My life hasn’t gotten any less complicated or busy. Hence the lateness of this post. My reading has slowed, but I’ve also been reading much larger books – which doesn’t necessarily help. On top of that, I completed a project…
March sucked. Seriously. Work has been crazy busy and home has been difficult and stressful. I listened to far fewer books than previous months, finding it difficult to concentrate on books and instead blasting music whenever I could just to clear…
I’ve recently had the opportunity to be on a couple of podcasts talking about writing and my new novel, Samantha Kane: Into The Fire. All were incredibly fun! First two are from my friends over at Beyond The Trope where I got…
You may have picked up on the fact I love Scrivener. I love it so much I spread the word and teach writers all about the software whenever I can. Why? There are a lot of misconceptions about what Scrivener…
February started with a hangover from January – The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson. Holy crap! What a massive book. I think this is what they mean when they say ‘epic fantasy’. 45 hours! O_O BUT – I loved…
January was a good month for me, reading wise. I booked through Butcher’s Codex Alera on Audible and loved it. I also loved Kate Reading’s voice, which made me seek out something else she’s read, which led me to The…
As mentioned on the latest Functional Nerds podcast, I’ve been invited to Superstars of Writing to teach THREE Scrivener classes, and to talk about podcasting! The Scrivener classes will be broken up as Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced and involve a…
For the first time in forever, I’ve read enough books to warrant wanting to brag about it. What better way to brag than by writing a round-up blog post?! Nothing short of a stage, a microphone and some sort of…
It’s that time of year – October, and with that most orange and black of months comes one of my favorite things – MileHiCon! MileHiCon 48 is happening this weekend – October 28th through the 30th at the Hyatt Regency,…
I mentioned a while ago that I sold a novel to WordFire Press. Since then, I’ve been going through the behind the doors stuff that happens when you sell a book – the conversations, the editing, and the cover. Oh, the…
Here I am, a week out from WorldCon and actually writing up some sort of recap post. Yay me! This year, WorldCon was held in Kansas City, and also called MidAmeriCon 2. As I said in a previous post, I…
Howdee folks. I know I’ve been less than stellar at updating the site recently. I apologize, but there’s lots going on which keeps me busy. But, it’s that time of year when WorldCon rolls around, and I wanted to give…
Sunday, I found myself on a rant for a few hours on Twitter. Why? I’d used FTD to send my mom flowers from me and my brother for Mother’s Day. Which, as it turns out, was a massive, massive mistake.…
