How to Help an Author

Being a new author can be pretty hard. You’re relatively unknown except for your personal circle and suddenly you’re faced with the monumental task of getting yourself and your book noticed. Ultimately you could fork over a ton of money for marketing, but there are other ways to get yourself out there. Usually the ways […]

It’s here!!!!

My author copy has finally arrived! 4 years of work and the result is now in my hands. It feels kind of weird that it exists after waiting so long, but I’m so in love with my book right now. Here it is! If you’ve read the book, please take a couple minutes and review […]

Working when you’re sick

Not going to lie, writing, or doing much of anything, when you’re sick is no fun. Suffering from a cold and headache for almost two weeks now has definitely slowed me down, but I’ve still kept trucking along as best I can. Seems to be the season for random illnesses and sometimes you just can’t […]

What I’m Reading – Rebel Queen

I absolutely adore Michelle Moran’s books, so I was very excited to pick up her latest work, Rebel Queen. It is set in India, in the kingdom of Jhansi, which is in the north, about half-way between Nepal and Pakistan.

Favourite Author Spotlight – Amelia Atwater-Rhodes

Amelia had her first novel published when she was only 14. That was almost 20 years ago now and she has since written 16 more novels. I’m going to be honest and say that I haven’t read all of her books, I didn’t even like ALL of the ones that I did read, but I […]

What I’m Reading – The Courtship of Princess Leia

I’ve read the Courtship of Princess Leia by Dave Wolverton at least a dozen times in my life. It was a book I checked out every few weeks from the library, enchanted by the picture of Princess Leia in a wedding dress on the cover. With all the hype of the new Star Wars movie […]

My New Year’s Resolution

I don’t normally do New Year’s resolutions, but now that I’ve finally gotten a start on my dream I figured I might as well start doing some serious goal setting. My goal for the upcoming year is to have my next manuscript completed. There’s going to be a lot of work involved in the promotion […]
