So I’ve started religiously following book blogs. I didn’t expect this decision to make me this happy! I always thought that I knew just what I wanted out of a book, and where I would be able to find those books. Throughout my life, my process for finding the books I want to read has… Continue reading My New-Found Love for Book Bloggers
So I got my contract signed, my forms filled out, and everything else tidied away and put in the mail last week. The good folks at Clean Teen have them now, and I just get to look forward to scheduling a video chat with the ladies in charge.

It’s been 10 years this summer since I read the first six Harry Potter books for the first time. I’ve spent much of the last 10 years reading literary criticism, folklore, mythology and famous works of literature that were an acknowledged influence on J. K. Rowling’s opus in the…

I’ve certainly gotten used to riding a bike again. Its been a long hot day though, and after hiding in my room… Continue reading Hot Lips Soda After a Hot Long Day

Well, it finally happened. After six years of querying, hundreds of rejections, and three different novels, I managed to convince someone I should be published. I had a lot of interest in The Neverland Wars from a variety of small publishers on #Pit2Pub day, a Twitter event about a month ago that allowed authors to… Continue reading Audrey Lands a Book Deal

The part where you just find a seat, people-watch, and wait to be swept away in a giant flying machine is enjoyable. Flying freaks… Continue reading Motion, Commotion, and Flying Machines
Ah, home sweet home. It’s nice to have the feeling that you are where you belong and in a safe, warm bed every night… UNTIL YOU HAVE TO LEAVE FOR CALIFORNIA TOMORROW. I was really looking forward to settling down and getting some good writing done in the final days of Camp NaNoWriMo, but it… Continue reading Home Sweet – QUICK PACK YOUR THINGS
I am reaching another one of those points in which I feel, quite simply, overwhelmed. There seems to be an insane amount of motion and insanity associated with everything I touch these days. I’m beginning to suspect that adventure is best perpetrated and enjoyed most fully when you know you have something loving and stable… Continue reading Overwhelmed? MOVE TO PORTLAND
