Happy Monday! I hope you have a great start to the week. Remember, Monday is the start of the runway to the weekend. Now, let’s talk about harsh criticism. No, I’m not talking about feedback or critique, I’m talking about the stuff that makes people stop pursuing their dreams. Let me define exactly what I’m […]
It’s Sunday and a good friend of mine, Allix Booth, is having a HUGE cover reveal party today! Look at all the incredible authors on the roster for the party! The Temperament Scepter’s cover reveal party will happen between 2 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time today, and I’ll be doing my takeover 2:30-3:00. I’ll have […]
Truth: I haven’t had time to write much this week, just some notes and the beginning concept for another piece that is thus far planned for the distant future. It always disappoints me when I don’t get the chance to write, and before you even think it, I definitely don’t want to hear, “But you need to make […]
Happy Monday! I hope you have a productive day today! Here’s something to make you smile. Don’t you love this quote? Doesn’t this describe writers just perfectly?

Here’s my usual checklist: Coffee – VENTI Chocolate – NO LIMITS I Love Lucy […]
I can’t believe how little I’ve told you about Locke and Keye, the second book in the Dark Victoriana Collection. Well, it’s time for a nice big update, including some secrets to look forward to. Shhhh… 😉
Yesterday was Charles Perrault’s 388th birthday, and being one of the fathers of some of our modern fairy tales, I wanted to celebrate. Well, consider this a belated celebration.
