I've been growing as I learn new things. Lately, I've been learning a lot on Canva , and that means some things on my site and in my newsletter will be getting a few "upgrades". I've also upgraded my editing process, which I've shared in my newsletter for the 1st this month. If you missed it, you can sign up for my mailer HERE . I really like Canva. I use it for all of my posts on Instagram and Facebook. I also use it for my banners, advertising, and more. I've been grouping

In 2007, I published my first book. I was so excited to finally be published that I opted out of the publisher's offered editing. I was confident that my story was perfect. When I got my copies and started reading the book, I began spotting all the errors and felt incompetent. I was a good writer, but it wasn't showing that. My editing alone wasn't enough. But I also didn't know how to edit back in those days either. In time, I did learn how to self-edit before having someone

I have two books coming out next week. One of the books is a rerelease. It's Nanobytes. The other book is a new release titled Lost Through Time. Meanwhile, I'm editing one book and writing two books! Have you ever wished for a better life? Sophie Martin, an overweight and lonely teenager, longed for just that. But when she takes a job testing products, she never could have imagined the unexpected turn her life would take. Suddenly, she loses all her weight, gains superhuman

I am in the editing process for this novel. I have no idea how many rounds it will take; each book is different. But I thought I would share some details about the book for those who are waiting for it. You know who you are. This is a child's card. I made it using Canva for moments like this. It is one of the "clues" for the story. Evie Cross (MC) is sure that the sheriff in the small town of Haven Creek is incompetent. For one, he's sharing the full details of the crime sce

Since tomorrow is the beginning of a new month, I thought I'd share my goals for the month. Even though the month only has 28 days, I figure it'll be just as busy as any other month would be. Each day will be something new in and out of writing... New seasons continue on some of my favorite shows, so I'll be catching them on Paramount, Peacock, and Hulu so I can enjoy them with the pause button when needed. That also gives me a wider window to enjoy them with Billy. Fire Coun

I suppose someone could think it's crazy that I write in so many genres, but I think it's fun! By taking away those limitations, I am free to really write what I want. I don't have to try to bend a story to work for me. I can just let it flow naturally and be what it is. Here are the reasons why I genre hop... I have to be true to who I am. Outside of writing, I love different groups in movies, music, food, clothing styles, etc. Why would my writing be any different? It's alr

Time is still slipping away from me--we're already in the middle of the first month! Can you believe it? I don't make New Year's resolutions, but if I had, this would be about the time when they begin to fizzle. Do you have that problem? What do you do to stay motivated? I'd say for the last ten years maybe, I've been setting goals instead of resolutions. I'll set goals for the whole year and then smaller goals for each month that connect to each of the bigger goals. I set my

It's hard to believe this is the last Saturday of the year. The entire year. Looking back on the year, I'm amazed at how well it turned out. This is probably my best year. When I began publishing my books independently, around 2010, I initially used Amazon because I couldn't afford to hire someone to bind my books. Amazon did all that, and it didn't cost me anything. Of course, they would take their cut, which I was okay with. Up until 2024, they were the only place my books

I enjoy these little moments like viewing into a window of a house that's still being built. Life is kind of like that; a person is always growing and moving forward. I've officially been using my real name as my author identity for one year now, which means it's time for a change. I'm always changing, evolving so to speak. I think all authors are. I love that I get to do that. During the last few years, I've been trying hard to be a better author, a better marketer, or bette
