Update on my books, promotions, upcoming releases

A couple of things! FIRST, I was happily, and unexpectedly, able to extend the upcoming promo of my trilogy beyond only January 2nd. These are the new dates, since my promotion periods should renew before the next Stuff Your Kindle Fantasy day in late February (when these prices will repeat.) I’m able to make book…

The Herezoth trilogy is complete-it’s launch day!

I’m so excited to announce that The King’s Sons: The Fight for Legacy is available NOW for Kindle or as a paperback on Amazon.com!

DON’T MISS OUT on meeting your new favorite villain!

I’ve been quiet lately, and I apologize. But I’ve been BUSY. In addition to getting book three ready for formatting, starting to wrap up developmental edits on my prequel, getting through busy season at my day job, and daydreaming my way through a rewrite of my book five . . . I have started an…

Sometimes, winning is just showing up.

With tons of changes going on at the day job, I’m feeling anxious and worn out, and I didn’t have a topic to blog about today. I’m tired. I don’t feel like writing a post here on WordPress. It feels like an unnecessary expenditure of energy I don’t have. So I came up with this…

I am beyond excited about my prequel

I am just so excited about my prequel. I love this story so much. I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s recognizing how I’ve grown as a writer over the course of writing and getting feedback from editors on the original trilogy that came first. Maybe it’s the fun I’m having joining old characters…

I have never been a cocktail person. If I’m going to have a drink, I tend to go for a simple glass of wine or a beer. This is because Spain made me a beer person. In my summers in Spain, I loved going out with friends and roommates for a glass of wine or…

Thankful Thursday: thankful that God is stretching me.

Until the last couple of weeks, things had been comfortable for me at my day job for quite a while. I enjoyed my duties. I thought they were a good fit for me. I more or less enjoyed them and felt competent at what I had to do. I could clock in, do my job,…

Thoughts on developmental editing

I honestly kind of enjoy developmental editing. Not as much as I enjoy line editing, where everything sitting there in front of me, ready to go, and the hard work–as I judge it–is already done. Still, I enjoy watching my stories truly come together and take shape during my developmental editing process. I write first…

My current projects

I haven’t posted an update in a while, so I figured I would let you know what’s going on in my world and what my current projects are. They are all prequel and book three related! As I announced a couple of days ago, Book three of the Herezoth trilogy, The King’s Sons: The Fight…
