Missing in Action

When last I posted, I claimed a break for the holidays and to meet my publishing schedule. What I didn’t share was news so fragile and hopeful it had been twenty years in the making: Doctors had confirmed in November that I was pregnant. Hubs and I were over the moon. It had been a…

Release Day: The Hotel Paranormal – Dragon’s Pursuit (A Red Slaves Novella)

Against all odds, I’ve managed the release date I blithely promised almost a year ago. I should know by now that life always gets in the way and plans have a way of shifting and changing accordingly. So I’m especially proud that I was able to finish this in time to meet my commitment. I…

Time Out for the Holidays

Given the volume of things going on and the volume of things I need to get done to have a successful book release for Dragon’s Pursuit, I’ll take a minute tonight to wish everyone happy holidays and a happy slide into the new year. May the season of the Return of the Light embody itself…

Getting There

These days I feel like listing out tributes to influential artists is an all-too-common beginning to my blog posts. I suppose some might argue at Ron Glass‘ inclusion in this list, but his portrayal of the character Shephard Book in Serenity and Firefly was yet another of Joss Whedon’s brilliant casting moves–Glass was a devout…

One Day

My week of travel for work turned out to give me just enough breaks to eat (while working) and sleep (no more than seven hours). The net result, I seem to have brought home a cold. I still had to go into the office Friday because we moved locations on Saturday, so my optimistic hope…

A World Full of Peril

As the observant among you might have noticed, I’ve been operating under radio silence for two weeks. Despite the increasingly insane levels of rhetoric before and after the U.S. election, I was able to finish my novella and get it to my editor. Given how draining it’s been to be surrounded by reports of hate…

Time and Balance

I’ve been trying to remember the things that took up my time this week (aside from the obvious day job duties), and have mostly been drawing a blank. I had to get up quite a bit earlier than normal, which meant most of my days were spent in some level of tiredness haze. So the…

Fantasy World

I had a lot of catching up to do at the office this week, so my days were mostly much longer than normal, and didn’t leave much energy for writing. Neither did the descent into madness that the U.S. political process has become. I’m worried for our nation when our “main stream” candidates contribute to…

Nothing Under Control

I lost a week. I lost a filling Monday night and was able to make an emergency appointment with a dentist in our new city on Tuesday. I thought I was going in for a new filling. I ended up staying for a tooth extraction. Apparently, I waited too long between dental visits, and there…

Goals and Methods

It’s been an odd week of feeling under the weather and yet accomplishing one of my major goals of the year. Releasing The Builders–and watching it become the first of my books to hit a hot and trending list!–was more than a little exciting, and I’m sure helped the cold/flu symptoms I battled most of…
