  • Having Fun

    A short post. Having lots of fun writing The Rot, can’t wait to see how it ends. It’s given me a surprise or two so far, so we’ll see. Today was a good day…wrote some this morning, then did my client work, laundry, cooking, usual family stuff, then work on this website and other miscellaneous…

  • My First Sale…Sort of

    First sale on The Calling yesterday…sort of. By “sort of” I mean that the story was part of Smashword’s Promotion this week so it was…FREE. (grin) Now granted, my other stories are free and have gotten a lot of downloads, but what I love the most…what means the most to me is that someone actually took the time…

  • The Rot…Update

      Still working on this story, have no real idea how long it’s going to take me to find the ending, but the journey is fun. The characters I’ve got so far include Joe and his wife Beth and their twins Rachel and Ben. She’s just discovered he’s cheating on her and is seeking her…

  • I Hate Books…snicker

    I don’t spend nearly enough time on Twitter…I had to hear this from Mashable, but Indie book publisher Melville House started a conversation surrounding what we hate about books. Here’s a screenshot…my favorite ones are the first and second ones. Clever.

  • Fighting Evil…Should Christians Do It?

      The one and only review so far that I’ve gotten on Smashwords was for my book (which is free, might I add) titled Children of Wrath: A Witch Killers Story. Interestingly enough I had just uploaded it to the site. It wasn’t there more than 5 minutes before I get this review. lol Reviewer…

  • Weird Tales

    Prepare to be weirded out…or at least to scratch your head and wonder, “what in the heck is she talking about”. I’m putting together a collection of weird flash fiction stories – 8 of them, actually – with a couple of longer short stories. Plan to publish it this weekend and will update when it’s…

  • Doing the “Happy Dance”

    Have you ever seen the video of the Minions dancing to the song by Pharrell Williams called “Happy”? Love, love, love it! [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOWDb2TBYDg] Anyway, that’s the way I feel today. My sweet hubby and I will be celebrating 7 years together this month…and my birthday which just so happens to be on the same…

  • I’m no longer a publishing virgin

      Yeah! Uploaded my short story titled Murder in Blue Lake to both Smashwords and Amazon. I was scared that the “MeatGrinder” would be a problem, but it wasn’t. Easy, Peasy… Except, Smashwords did something weird. They added a short table of contents with link. Short stories really don’t need a TOC, so ??? Anyway, I…
