May Wrap-Up & June Goals
Happy Pride Month! So much to be excited about this month! Instead of boring you with intro chat, let’s jump right to the fun stuff! Service Before Self Cover Reveal Isn’t Alex adorable? All credit goes to my fantastic cover designer, Joe Satoria, for finding a model who fits military grooming standards! About Service Before Self The…

April Wrap-Up & May Goals
Did I finish the rough draft of my current WIP last month? Not exactly. Along with an impromptu trip to Ohio for the solar eclipse, I may have gotten distracted by a short story submission for a week. I’m still on schedule for my planned release date, though. Even better, I have the official cover…

March Wrap-Up & April Goals
We’re only 3 days into the month and I’m already so done with this “April showers” nonsense. I hope the weather is better where you are! Spring (when it is much warmer) and summer are my favorite seasons because I get to write outside. For now, however, I’m doing a great job heading to a…

January Wrap-Up & February Goals
Earth and Water is live! In case you missed it, or you’re a newcomer, my first queer paranormal romance came out on January 23! This novel, which is also my first self-published title, tells the full love story between two important secondary characters in the world of my urban fantasy series. I couldn’t be happier…

May Wrap-Up & June Goals
I started May with all of the plans. Lots of writing while the spouse was away for work. Two conventions. Finally, some warm weather! I got exactly one of those things. Spouse came down with a cough the first weekend, and we discovered by the first Tuesday that both of us finally got the plague.…

April Wrap-Up & May Goals
Awesome things I did this past month: Doubled my word count from March. Read a ton of ARCs (advance reader copies) by some of my favorite authors. Got together with my best friends. All in all, a pretty successful 30 days! I don’t expect to double my word count again for May, but I’ll be…

March Wrap-Up & April Goals
I’ll get to my writing progress in a bit, but first I want to talk about reading! (You know, that thing I do instead of writing.) I have two bits of news on that front. On the website: I updated the Book Reviews page so that multiple search options are available. If you know what…

December Wrap-Up & January Goals
A week ago, I was reading a romance novel in a private cabana on a tropical beach. This morning it snowed. I hope that’s not a metaphor for how 2022 is going to go. The spouse and I had an amazing cruise vacation for the holidays followed by a few quiet days at home, but…

November Wrap-Up & December Goals
As 2022 barrels down on us, I can say two things with certainty: 1) I still dislike cold weather; and 2) If the Kindle Unlimited price ever goes up, it’s probably my fault. But good news! In 3 weeks, I’ll be headed to warmer waters (literally) for a much-needed true vacation. And the best part…

October Wrap-Up & November Goals
I’m writing this on Halloween, my second-favorite holiday of the year, which marks exactly 60 days until New Year’s Eve, which is my favorite holiday of the year. I’m looking forward to dressing up in a bit and helping my mom give out candy at her house. Then, I shall endeavor to get a good…

September Wrap-Up & October Goals
Everyone should have a home away from home, and mine is apparently at my friends’ house near Atlanta, Georgia. Which means another road trip in the TARDIS! The spouse and I are down south again for few quiet days before a weekend at a fancy lakeside cabin with friends and board games (and alcohol). I…
-
August Wrap-Up & September Goals
The spouse and I spent a good chunk of August on the road, visiting friends in Atlanta and family in Florida. We stayed as safe as possible (even if we were the only ones wearing a mask in many, many gas stations), but had to treat ourselves to a trip to Kennedy Space Center while…

June Wrap-Up & July Goals
We are officially less than a month away from the release of Steel Justice (Steel Empires #6)! If you missed the cover reveal, no worries — you can check out the gorgeousness below, with a bonus teaser. The book is also available for preorder from the bigger usual suspects. However, if you order directly from…

May Wrap-Up & June Goals
It’s a gorgeous day outside, and summer is my favorite season, so I’m here to celebrate a great month and look forward to an even better one. I am now fully vaccinated, so I got to hang out with my best friend in person for the first time in nearly 18 months, along with planning…
-
January Wrap-Up & February Goals
We thought 2021 would be low-key. Isn’t that cute? Instead, there have been some major ups and downs that distracted me from my goals. On the other hand, I also got some great news about my day job–the pandemic proved that we do not need a central office to function, which means my permanent telework…
-
December Wrap-Up & January Goals
Hey, we did it! If you’re reading this, we survived the train wreck that was 2020. I sincerely hope that your loved ones fared as well, and that we all do much better in 2021. I’m keeping expectations low and assuming that I’m in for another year doing a lot of reading and playing video…
-
October Wrap-Up & November Goals
Based on the dreary, rainy weather outside my office, I suppose fall has officially arrived. Cloudy days call for a second cup of coffee, especially since I have started getting up when the spouse leaves for work to spend some time with Ring Fit Adventure and on the elliptical before my workday begins. It’s brutal…
-
September Wrap-Up & October Goals
Another month of this crazy year has come and gone. The spouse and I escaped to Atlanta for a week, to socially distance with friends who also work from home. It was absolutely lovely and reminded me how much I miss conventions this year. The TARDIS drove and charged beautifully on its first road trip,…
-
August Wrap-Up & September Goals
This month slipped away from me pretty fast, like the rest of this summer has, since time has basically ceased to have all meaning. I’m still working from home full-time, I’m still doing a lot of reading, and I’ve done some solid work on book 7 that I’m pleased with. All travel plans through the…

December Wrap-Up & January Goals
Another year, another decade. Welcome to the Roaring Twenties! I had an excellent holiday season, spending quality time with family and friends. Unfortunately, I wasn’t quite as productive as I’d like to have been. A theme for 2019 was the seemingly never-ending battle with finding an anti-anxiety medication that works for me without side effects…
