I woke up today still riding an almost indescribable high from my first in-person book event yesterday. I went into it not knowing what to expect and came out of it absolutely floored at the great response patrons had to my table. I made back the book fest registration fee in the first half-hour. EvenContinue reading “Success and Gratitude”

Hurry Up and Wait
Well, my friends, it has felt like simultaneously a long and anxious wait and also a blink since I registered for my first in-person event. And I still have a week to wait. However, said wait has given me ample time to get all the details in order and I am ready. So ready. ExcitementContinue reading “Hurry Up and Wait”
Black Feather Press LLC
My friends, I am extremely proud to be making this post. When I was young, I insisted that I didn’t write for exposure. I had no intentions of publishing or even finding readers. The older I got and the more I just kept writing anyway … it became clear that it wasn’t true. I didContinue reading “Black Feather Press LLC”
Mercury Retrograde Blues?
It’s coming, my friends. I don’t know about you, but I know I’m already feeling the push-back and we don’t actually hit Retro until the 14th. Over the years, I have learned to identify the pre-shadow time leading into Mercury Retrograde as a tendency to socially retreat and find comfort in my writing. I tendContinue reading “Mercury Retrograde Blues?”
Good News, Everyone!
Hey, world! How’s it going? Did you read the title in the Professor’s voice? I hope you did. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, that’s okay, too. I’m just stopping by with a little update on what I’ve been working on and doing. First order of business, I mentioned in my last postContinue reading “Good News, Everyone!”
The Writing Process
Hello, my friends and first time visitors! The last few months have been something of a trip, some good and some not as much, but here we are still standing. Personally, I’ve been dwelling on the more technical side of writing and haven’t produced much actual writing. As always, I have multiple projects in varyingContinue reading “The Writing Process”
Book Review: Salt by Liz Shipton
Today I’m veering off the normal promo posts path because I recently read a book (in one day) that just blew it out of the water. This is also proof that the social media grind does actually pay off sometimes so, dear indies, keep going even when it seems like it’s pointless. Anyway, I foundContinue reading “Book Review: Salt by Liz Shipton”
Being Indie
Today I’ve decided to do a little something different for a post. Rather than posting writing samples, which is my favorite subject, I’m going to talk a little about what being a self-published author means to me. I can’t speak for anyone else, but I do have hopes my experience might be an inspiration forContinue reading “Being Indie”
Blurb Drop!
Hello friends! Wow, so it’s already summer and I’ve been much too quiet lately as far as updates go. That does not mean I’ve been idle. I’m currently organizing for my next release, which is extremely exciting for me. I don’t quite have a release date pinned down, but know that I’m very close. ItContinue reading “Blurb Drop!”
Podcast Alert!
I recently had the opportunity to join my old friend and fellow writer, Terry Bartley, on his podcast, Most Writers Are Fans. We go way back to our college days when we were part of our public radio station. We were two of the original members of a show called Snobrock Live where we wouldContinue reading “Podcast Alert!”
