Write (Not) My Age & Merry Christmas!
I recently discussed a new book(s) idea that has me really excited. I’ve finished the plot outline and character profiles so that I can finally edit Seer. The issue I anticipate having with this story is that, while it will be written for YA, the protagonist is only 13. Normally that would suggest a middle-gradeContinue reading “Write (Not) My Age & Merry Christmas!”
Better Made…But Made Better
So I love the whole sweet/salty combo and, while I’m still on a weight loss journey, I will buy myself a tin of these every year.

Seer is currently going through that process. In an effort to make this as painless and efficient as possibleContinue reading “Editing Seer: An Exercise in Self Flagellation”
Tentatively: The Sea & Storm AND Updated Sword & Shield!
When I opened the 20,000ish word document that held the beginnings of The Sword & Shield’s sequel (The Sea & Storm), I was shocked to see that the last time I touched it was back in December 2020. This was less a writer’s block and more a writer’s monolith. The Kaaba would be a moreContinue reading “Tentatively: The Sea & Storm AND Updated Sword & Shield!”
A Trip Back in Time aka Day at the Faire!
This past weekend I sold my book as a vendor at The Royal Stagg Renaissance Faire in Marshall, Michigan. At 6AM Gipsy Danger and I got in the car and drove roughly an hour and a half to mid-Michigan and began to unpack the car. My initial hope was that, were I to need helpContinue reading “A Trip Back in Time aka Day at the Faire!”
