Part 2: What’chya think?

I've been working on ideas for the cover of my next book. Last week, I blogged, here, about my first cover idea and today, I thought I'd share another. The book is called Last September, formerly Countdown To Chaos--which I still think is an awesome title, but doesn't quite fit this story as it's an …

Whatch’ya Think?

I'm working on cover concepts for my soon to be released follow up (well a stand-alone prequel, actually since it's the back story of one of the characters. If you wanna know who, you'll have to read it.) to my previous novel, Between Octobers. Last September (formerly Countdown to Chaos) is a completely different type …

Help a Writer Out . . .

As some of you may know, I am in the last stages of finishing my latest manuscript, Countdown to Chaos. Well, that's been the title of the manuscript for some time now. But now I'm wondering if it fits. See, the protagonist in Countdown to Chaos--her name is Angel, and this book is actually the …

A Song on the Brain

I've got this song stuck in my head.... It's a song I like to jam to first thing in the morning. It's also a great driving song, makes for a fantastic sing-along when you're alone in the car and don't have to care about how you sound. You can exercise to too. So I really …

Building a Platform

When I first began thinking about getting published, I heard lots of chatter about the importance of the writers platform. "What's That," you ask? Well . . . Yeah.

Since I officially finished my second book, Countdown to Chaos, I am soaking in that airy, joyous feeling of knowing that I have accomplished something …
