I'm reading quite a few things right now. Some I read from within the past few days. Others? It's been a while. Like YEARS a while. Also, my TBR (to be read) pile is HUGE! Let's take a look, shall we? The book I'm about to start reading is A Trinket for the Taking by… Continue reading Beth and the Giant Stack of Books to Overcome or be Overcome by

Comps Don’t Have to be the Absolute Bane of My Existence AKA Why Do I Do This
Comparative titles (aka comp titles) are something that has baffled me on and off again for the past…thirteen years? But who’s counting? What is a comp title, you ask? In a writer’s world, it’s a book or other piece of IP (intellectual property) that shares themes, ideas, and/or tropes in common with your book. And… Continue reading Comps Don’t Have to be the Absolute Bane of My Existence AKA Why Do I Do This
A Lovely Day at the Library Author Fair Plus Writerly Updates
Two weeks ago from tomorrow, I participated in the Ritter Public Library’s third annual local author fair. Sadly, I have no photographic evidence of this, as neither my mom (who was my assistant) nor my sister (who came for the last hour) nor I thought to capture the day. Oh, well. It was a nice… Continue reading A Lovely Day at the Library Author Fair Plus Writerly Updates

It's the time of year where I celebrate my X0th orbit around the sun! (Yes, the X was on purpose. I'm not giving away ALL of my secrets, lol. Suffice it to say, it's a big birthday.)

One for the Books: A Fabulous Day at an Author Fair
Last Saturday, August 31, I had my book signing at Ritter Public Library's second annual author fair. It was FANTASTIC! So many people showed up to support me and fellow local authors.

Book Reviews: How Does a Body Go About Writing and Leaving One, Anyway?
I've mentioned how much I appreciate and admire reviewers. It's so easy for me to read a book or use a product, enjoy it but say nothing of my experience to others. Reviewers are in the trenches, sharing their thoughts with the world. Now, I'm not a professional reviewer. I rarely write reviews for Amazon,… Continue reading Book Reviews: How Does a Body Go About Writing and Leaving One, Anyway?
Researching Books: Tough, Honest Work–and I’m Ready for the Challenge!
You'd think a contemporary fantasy novel (fantasy set in current modern times) wouldn't need much research. Well, you would be wrong. My next book, Fate's Immortal Hands (formerly known as All They See is Dust--trust me, the new title fits better), dives into the past a few times (the 1660s, to be more precise) and… Continue reading Researching Books: Tough, Honest Work–and I’m Ready for the Challenge!
