When I decided I was going to self-publish, I very abruptly realized I didn't know anything about self-publishing. It seems easy on the surface, but it's really not. It's really, really not. At least, not if you do it right. But they say nothing worth doing is ever easy, so if that's the case, then I'm on the right track! I published my first short story on Amazon Kindle back in October of 2015, after 5 months of stalking learning from other successful indie authors and taking copious ... View Post
“Dreamers” COVER REVEAL & Book Announcement!
Today is the day I'm able to announce that my science fiction thriller short story, "Dreamers", will be published to Amazon on February 16th, 2016! No, your memory is not faulty.

The brilliant news is that Wordwraith Books is now READY TO GO, and ... View Post
Same Goals, Different Mindset
Not too long ago I was asked by a fellow author to participate in a series of guest posts she would be hosting on her blog about New Year's Resolutions for 2016.

Writing Prompt Wednesday: “Tuugaalik”, an original flash fiction.
I never in a million years would have thought I'd ever write something like this. But I agree with the idea that the more limitations you have, the more creative you become. And I needed a writing prompt for today, anyway. So, when Mia and Reece kept talking about narwhals on Twitter (you will have to ask them what started that, I'm only an outside observer! ;) ), I casually mentioned that someone needed to write them a narwhal flash fiction. Of course that someone ended up being ... View Post
7/7/7 Snippet Challenge … ACCEPTED!
A few days back I was tagged by Melanie Noel Bernard for the 7/7/7 Challenge. I've actually had the pleasure of participating in this challenge a few times now, but usually on the Facebook page instead of the blog. This time, it will be fun to answer and pass along this challenge here, instead! (Not to mention, this is a brand-new excerpt never before shared! Woot!) What is the 7/7/7 challenge? The rules are the following: ❄Go to page 7 of your work-in-progress ❄Scroll down to line ... View Post
