The readers for my first book have been *amazing*! Their comments were concise and *extremely* helpful, and the real kicker? They all had the same point of view about one particular aspect needing more detail, which means I have some work to do :) Keep in mind that some of these people were recommended to [...]

Decision time.
I got my bill for the fall semester from the school. My choice was to either pay it or cancel school. I canceled. I am in the middle of writing my second book. I also have a solid idea for book three. If I were to go back to school it would take me at [...]

Going out with my boots on…
Writing this second book is F-U-N! I love the two lead characters and the interaction between them. Chapter one is already done, and the book is basically writing itself, giving me easy nods as to direction and tone, which is always a good indication that I’m on the right track. Now if I could just [...]
