Guess what? I’m on vacation! Since my trip to DC and the Library of Congress was cancelled earlier this year (which would’ve been an amazing trip, by the way), my family and I have decided to visit a town much closer to home for my birthday week. Call me crazy if you like, but I’veContinue reading “Ten Days // Ten Books”

September Bookviews // Queens, Brides and New Releases, Please!
2020 is The Lost Year. July didn’t even register in my mind until it was August, so I missed that Bookviews post. I bet any money (below five bucks) that we’re going to see an uptick in doomsday books come out within the next couple of years. Regardless, let’s take a look at my BookviewsContinue reading “September Bookviews // Queens, Brides and New Releases, Please!”
The Gilded Conspiracy // Prologue and Part One Now Live
Evenin’ all! I hope you’re having a great start to your weekend. Does it feel like Autumn where you are? It’s certainly beginning to here in Pennsylvania and I can’t wait for my birthday weekend trip to Johnstown in September. If you didn’t already know, I recently launched a new website for short stories. It’sContinue reading “The Gilded Conspiracy // Prologue and Part One Now Live”
August Bookviews // Islands, Recipes and Devil Fires Indeed
Well, it looks like I completely forgot to do Bookviews for July. July didn’t even register in my mind until it was August. The number of books I read also dropped dramatically, but more writing’s happened and that’s taken priority. I’d still like to share my Bookviews for August 2020! (Here’s the Bookview post forContinue reading “August Bookviews // Islands, Recipes and Devil Fires Indeed”
Announcement // A New Site For Short Stories
Good evening, everyone! I just wanted to take a moment to put up a quick announcement for an exciting new venture I began earlier this evening. For a long while now I’ve wanted to share some short stories with you. The last time I tried to write such things was two years ago and IContinue reading “Announcement // A New Site For Short Stories”
Stories From My Past | Why I Write, Part 1
A few days ago an old classmate from middle school and I reconnected over Facebook. The irony of this is I didn’t even have a Facebook page for over a year and a half. But, due to quarantine and not seeing family going on a month, I’d decided it was time to have one again.Continue reading “Stories From My Past | Why I Write, Part 1”
Confessions of a Chronic Underwriter
Be honest with me: How many of you thought I put the word “underwear” instead of “underwriter” in the title? I won’t blame you one bit! But the title is completely, utterly, unequivocally true. About two years ago my uncle, who’s a published children’s author, picked up on it when he read through one ofContinue reading “Confessions of a Chronic Underwriter”
My Multiple MC Problem
Even though I’ve done a lot of writing since childhood, this is the first time I’ve attempted something as big as Project Firedamp. Not only are there a lot of moving parts, historical facts to keep straight, and cultural differences to look out for, things are in their early stages and I’ve got time toContinue reading “My Multiple MC Problem”
Eight Things I’ve Already Researched by Jan 8th
The new year’s just begun but I didn’t take a break from researching at all. In fact, since removing one of my villains late last year, my work level increased ten fold as other characters rose to the challenge. With this change came the need for deeper character development, and the need for more research.Continue reading “Eight Things I’ve Already Researched by Jan 8th”
My Seven Writing Goals for 2020
2019, for me anyway, was a rather directionless year. Every time I tried to set a schedule, or curb my procrastinator nature, my laziness grew by leaps and bounds. Yes, you read that right. I am a lazy writer. And I don’t want to be. 2020. Not only do those numbers roll right off theContinue reading “My Seven Writing Goals for 2020”
