So this week I launched my Pre-Order Giveaway Goodreads AMA Discussion which, aside from being a mouthful, also turns out to be wildly successful. Twelve hours in, I hit #43 on the Amazon Bestsellers List for Fairytale Adaptations. I’ve been celebrating on social media, but my actual feelings on the subject are much more complex.… Continue reading I’m a Bestselling Author: PANIC
I should have known better than to sign up for the fourteen-day free trial of Ancestry.com. I’ve always been curious about my genealogy, but never enough to do anything about it. I sort of liked having the mystery of my relations floating around, unresolved. There was a romance to it. However, families are full of… Continue reading Great-Great Grand Greathouses and Their Stories

Sometimes the only thing that tells me that I’m still on the right track is that I am deathly afraid of what is coming my way. It all seems to be… Continue reading As the Day Draws Nearer…
I am thankful that my laptop of eight years is STILL running, and its keyboard is only missing the “c” key. I am thankful that after one good 6,000 word day, I am only 5,000 words behind on NaNoWriMo. And I am thankful that I have a literary agency that has my best interest in… Continue reading Things a Writer is Thankful For
