This is a post on how to treat your favorite ebook authors like rockstars. *blinks* What’s that? Did you ask if this post is a little self-serving since I just had an ebook come out? *scoffs* *sputters* *shuffles feet* You know what? Go to your room! *coughs* *clears throat* Okay. Now, where were we? I specified ebook authors because […]

      With a series coming out, I haven’t really had time to chill out and celebrate the first one coming out. Especially since I’ve been working on editing the second one in the Taming the Pack series. Working on the second one has had the song Lil Red Riding Hood by Sam the Sham and the Pharoahs stuck […]

    Past My Defenses is out wherever you buy ebooks, but here is a teaser:   When he felt the presence of another person in his room, staring at him, he jerked awake—even as awareness of who it was seeped into his consciousness. He glanced at his clock. Two a.m. He was going to be worthless mornings if this […]

  It seemed appropriate since my allergic shifter book is finally out that I do a pollen-related prize for the blog tour giveaway. This necklace and matching earrings handcrafted by Sunny of Sun V. Designs contain dandelion seeds. I’ll also be giving away a $15 gift card. Terms & Conditions: By entering the giveaway, you are confirming you are at […]

  People have told me I’m brave for these posts, but I’m not–I swear I’m not–as evidenced by the fact that I’ve meant to write this post for forever, but I’ve held off. I don’t even plan on posting it on Twitter or Facebook. (Though I know it’ll autopost on Twitter at some point.) I want this searchable, though. If […]

  Have you ever read a book with a young character and thought, “That’s not a kid talking–that’s an adult who has never met a child–it’s their version of a kid talking,” or, “That’s a mini-adult,” instead of buying into it? Sometimes authors will explain it away because the child is gifted…so they can talk like an adult shrunken to […]

  It seems appropriate to post this on a Friday the 13th and a full moon. The height of superstitious days, huh? My husband’s commute on Friday the 13th is always really light because of the superstitious nature of people, but I suspect most of them have chosen or learned to be superstitious. In many with OCD, we’re superstitious against […]

    I have the sentence above on a T-shirt, and every time I wear it, it elicits comments, but probably not what you’d suspect… There’s no trademark or anything else. Just those words. And people stop me to ask, “You’re talking about *insert movie name* aren’t you?” The most frequent guesses are Harry Potter and Twilight. (I bought my […]

I’ve been slacking off on posting, so I thought I’d make up for it by posting another free short story.     On Display The latch is broken. The latch is broken. Oh…and, Mindy, don’t forget that the latch is broken. So, naturally, after so many warnings and reminders to herself, when she crawled inside the window display to change […]

At some time in a girl’s life, there comes a point where you stare at a book, and you want it to be good–you want every book to be good. No, I’m wrong, you want every book to be great–to take you away or speak to your soul. The book you’re reading, however, is not good. Or maybe it’s good, […]
