Clearing the Air: I don’t hate your book blog
You may have noticed a recent trend in authors against authors giving negative book reviews–NOT authors opposing negative reviews, but authors refraining from reviewing books they disliked. Somehow this approach has gotten skewed and twisted into a blanket statement: Authors dislike book blogs. Um, no. This is so far from the truth, it actually makes […]

LTWF: Discouraging Decisions
Sometimes shit happens. Sometimes shit happens and it really sucks. Sometimes shit happens and it sucks so much you just give up. But other times, shit happens, it really sucks, but you grit your teeth and keep on pushing. ~~ As some of you know, I recently received an incredibly discouraging blow (I lost a […]
Blog Hiatus Day 4
Life threw me for a loop when I lost 153 pages, so out of revenge, I’m throwing life for a loop. Every few days, I switch my plants around, so the sun hits them at a different angle. The result? Zig-zagging plants. Mwu-hahahaha. I’m so evil…but not really. ~~~~ “When we’re done with it, we […]
Blog Hiatus Day 3

It’s time consuming, but it’s also a different way of thinking–and for me, that “different way” is the only way to solve story and […]
Blog Hiatus Day 2
This is my dog Asimov, a ~2 year old Irish setter. This is where he sits when I’m working. He’s kinda the light of my life (don’t laugh–I don’t have kids). I’m an introvert to the extreme, but he’s my constant companion. Plus he’s just so darn cute–can you resist that puppy face? ~~~~ “The […]
Blog Hiatus day 1
This is the farmer’s field beside my house. Yes, I can see this from my office, and yes it’s wonderful. But no, the view isn’t always this great. In about a month, all the cows we be let out to graze in this lovely pasture. Then it will look like trampled grass and cow patties. […]
Beware the Swamp Monster
o here’s the deal, my friends: I’m swamped. Like the the above picture, only it’s worse because my swamp is filled with creatures called REVISIONS that like to eat little writers for breakfast. There are actually three kinds of monsters in this swamp: editorial revisions for SOMETHING STRANGE AND DEADLY, personal revisions for SCREECHERS, and […]
