  • My Ad Astra 2016 Schedule

    So here we are driving to Toronto for Ad Astra, when I suddenly remember that I forgot to tell anyone where I’d be once I got there. Or, for that matter, even that I was going (apart from a couple of brief posts on Facebook and Twitter). Oops. And now here I am, writing this…

  • Book Bloggers: The Grigori Legacy Wants YOU!

    A very good morning, good afternoon, and good day to you all — and thank you for checking out today’s blog post! 🙂 With the help of the amazing Janice from The Demon Librarian, I’m putting together a couple of fun events over the next few weeks to promote the Grigori Legacy books. First up will be…

  • Sins of the Angels is ON SALE!!!

    Break out the fireworks and sparklers, my friends…Sins of the Angels is on SALE!!! From now until October 15th, you can purchase book 1 in the Grigori Legacy for just $1.99 on Kindle, Kobo, and Nook.** That’s roughly the price of a decent cup of coffee where I live (and it will last longer!) 😉 So if…

  • Sins of the Lost: Let the Blog Tour Begin!

    Well, folks…proofreads are done, the blog tour schedule is in place (thanks to the amazing Rockstar Book Tours), and we are heading into the countdown!

  • Easy Come, Easy Go: Sins of the Lost Loses Its Cover

    You may have noticed the sudden disappearance of the cover for Sins of the Lost from my website — and from Goodreads, Facebook, Twitter, and various other online locations. It turns out that another author has an almost identical cover for her book. The look-alike was spotted by one of my Twitter followers who very…

  • Social Media & Marketing Tips for Writers

    Whether you’re learning the craft,  looking for publishing how-tos, building your platform (or learning what that is), or trying to improve your online marketing skills, you can find a lot of resources on the Internet to help you along. My blog has never been geared towards becoming such a resource, but as I’ve grown as a…

  • Reality Check: Looking For Marketing in All The Wrong Places

    Last week I posted about the Cost of Self-Publishing — an overview of the process I went through on my journey to self-publishing Gwynneth Ever After. While my post didn’t address the issue of marketing costs, a number of people (here and on my Linked In discussion groups) commented to the effect that marketing support was…

  • Gwynneth Ever After Book Trailer

    While the title of director/producer may never be in my future, I did manage to teach myself Windows MovieMaker yesterday — and this was the result. What do you think? Does it pass inspection? 🙂

  • Netgalley: Another Step Toward Self-Publishing

    I’m just a few weeks away from the release of Gwynneth Ever After and, slowly but surely, I’m making progress. The ISBN number came through on day 10 of the 6-10 business days I was told it would take. Once I had that, I was able to have the digital file uploaded to Netgalley for reviewers…

  • News & Stuff

    I really, really, really have to figure out how to put together a newsletter one of these days. Really. In the meantime, however, here’s a little of what’s going on in my world these days: My book signing last Saturday surpassed my wildest expectations (well, maybe not my wildest, lol, but it was still awesome!)…
