Weekend Plans – Week 11

It’s the weekend! Now that I’ve finished up Rush and Ripple (Yay!), my weekend goals have shifted, at least for the next couple weeks. I won’t start writing my next book until July, which gives me time to catch up on ALL the things I set aside so I could finish the books. The pre-orders […]

Happy Dance Time!

Why am I celebrating today? Because I’ve just finished – and I mean FINISHED – the first two books in the Seaside Valleria series, Rush and Ripple! Whoo hoo! The pre-orders aren’t up yet, but they should be in the next several days. I’ll do a post when they are. So when are they releasing?

I’m An Author

Today, I’m stating the obvious… I’m an author. I think about author-related stuff several times over the course of a day.

The Best Laid Plans

The Best Laid Plans…

Well, that Saturday didn’t turn out how I hoped… I’d planned to spend my only day off this weekend from the day job (Saturday) working on Rush. Well, it turned out I needed to work the day job some on Saturday, too, throughout the day. That meant I couldn’t really get in ‘the zone’ for

Make Today Ridiculously Amazing

Today Is a Good Day

Today’s starting off on a good note… I am SO excited because Seaside Valleria 3 is off to my editor! Whew! This is off to my developmental editor, which could take a month or more, so I’m not expecting to work on it again July (I’m hoping for an August release if everything goes well).
