Book Release News, and More Compound Words for Dummies (Like Me)
Things have been a little crazy-making lately here at the Writer’s Desk. Good crazy-making, but crazy-making nonetheless, causing great difficulties for said desk to fulfill its designated purpose. In other words, there’s not been so much of the story writing. 😛 I’ll share some juicy details about the best of the crazy-making another day, but today I have some news (news that will not be “new” if you’ve subscribed to my Newsletter—hint, hint). First off, the identity of the manuscript that various non-writing tasks have been keeping me from… Founder, Book Two of the Dead Hollow trilogy, is currently with Read more…
Read the Teaser for Dead Hollow Book Two, Founder!
I’ve got a lot of balls in the air right now (the metaphorical kind; me attempting to juggle is a precursor to an emergency room visit), and I can’t wait to tell you about them! However, I think I’ll be restrained this week so I can give you more details when I do share. On second thought, I will mention one little thing that’s more of a PSA (public service announcement) than something to be excited about. There’s a bunch of shuffling behind the scenes at my website right now, trying to ensure all its pieces are in working order. Read more…
Cover Reveal for Dead Hollow Book Two!
Short but sweet post this time around. Guess what I did this morning… Yes, I drank coffee. Yes, I yelled at the cat, declared between one and three dogs to be adorable, and told between one and three dogs to stop chewing and/or scratching and/or chasing the cat. Let me rephrase. Guess what I did this morning that you might actually care about… I sent Dead Hollow Book Two to the copy editor. Woo hoo! Happy writer dance! At this point, not calling the book by its name is a little like one of those poor babies being wheeled around Read more…
A Tale of Two, Three, Four? Paperbacks
Hello, Happy Readers! Apologies for the long time, no blog. I’m excited to break the incommunicado streak (Jimmy Buffett earworm, anyone?) and let you know it’s in a good cause and there are cool things on the very near horizon. I’m wiggling in my chair just thinking about it. And not in the way dingbat dog Mr. Dribbles (aka Travis) wiggles by the door. If you’re a Newsletter subscriber, be sure to check your Inbox this weekend. And if you’re not, why aren’t you? 😉 With that tease out of the way, I thought I’d share the latest in Prodigal’s Read more…
Grab Your Flashlight and Follow the Crazy Lady (Muse, That Is)
I spent much of yesterday morning messing up my website (that wasn’t my goal, I can assure you), and then desperately trying to restore it to its former not-so-glorious, but also not-so-crappy state. My afternoon and much of this morning was devoted to messing up my print files and trying to get Prodigal paperbacks placed with other distributors. Do you see a pattern here? No—not the part where I mess things up. The part where I do things other than writing… That’s right, I finally finished the rough rough (made your dogs look) draft of the second Dead Hollow book.
