*checks calendar* It’s August 30th. Still one day left in the month and… I finished my third draft over the weekend! *dances about* I finished going through the hard copy Saturday, then plugged in all those notes on Sunday and ferried it through the intertubes to my friend and trusty beta reader. *waves* (Yes, I’m …
If you’ve ever talked to me for more than five minutes, you’ve probably heard me say the word awesome. And probably more than once. You see, I have a slight addiction to the word. Awesome. Awesome awesome awesome. Just got a new car? Awesome. Your baby slept through the night? Awesome. Finished your novel? Sooo …
Seems I didn’t have enough to do last weekend, what with finishing my edits and all. I decided to do a few things for Owen as well. He’s now the proud owner of a Facebook Fan Page called Super Owen. In keeping with that theme, I’ve also revamped his blog. Yeah, I know I changed …
Look! I finished my edits and printed out After the Fall in its entirety! Yes, there are TWO red pens waiting for me. Because I’m ahead of schedule I have a whopping NINE days to proof the hard copy and still meet my goal of finishing by September 1st.

I didn’t intend for this to be a series, but there’s been more snipping in my life. First, I believe I spoke too soon when I said that Owen was recovering well from his surgery last Friday. Wednesday morning he had to go back to the vet to have a suture restitched and now… you …
Wow! I LOVED Kelly’s debut novel, Three Days to Dead, and I dare say As Lie the Dead is even better. It picks up moments after Three Days ends and never stops. Evy joins Wyatt, her super hot Handler, as they race to save another Handler. There’s more shape-shifters (an osprey, an egret, and a …
I spent a lot of time this weekend fixing things. My wip, my closet, my dog… as well as a couple things that I’ll get into at another time. It’s nice being able to look around after a couple days and see the results of your efforts, don’t you agree? First, my wip. Despite the …
