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

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

Evie Cross moved to Haven Creek to start over. Putting her past behind her, she hopes the small town will accept her and take her in. When the murders begin, Evie wonders how incompetent the police can be. Telling everything to the reporters--Evie knows they can't be that stupid. Calling it robberies gone wrong. But then she's attacked. And none of her things are missing. If that's enough, the murders are in order by name... Including her attack. Being the only one to survive
