My head is full of stories. I didn't ask for them. They've now begun to bug me until I do something about them.

I'm working on three different projects right now. The most important one is to get Dragon Tender (Book Three in the Fae Unbound Teen Young Adult Series) completed. Because there are people who are waiting for that. I should be done with the rough draft at the end of July (2014). Then I'll start the editing, and it should be published by the end of September.
The second project is an adult fantasy/adventure story about an enslaved catshifter. That doesn't sound like much, but it's got witches, magic, politics, and a catshifter with Jim Morrison hair. It's not YA, but because I'm pretty committed to not writing anything that would get higher than a PG-13 rating, if any of my younger readers happen on to it, it might bore them, but it won't corrupt them. I've written that one but I am going to write the other two books in the series before I publish it.
The third project is a serial (tentatively entitled Alys in Demonland) that follows a group of siblings as they try to rescue their parents from the demon world. I need to see how long it takes me to write each of the episodes before I start publishing it. Unfortunately, it will initially only be available on Amazon (but I would never deny a copy to a fan if she asked me nice!)

Readers. 100% percent. I'd like to give each of mine a hug and thank them repeatedly and profusely for taking a chance on my books.

I don't really get writer's block. The ideas are there, churning away all the time. What I get is a seriously bad case of procrastination! It seems that I will do anything to keep from sitting down and writing the next scene. I get this way even when I'm really excited about what's going to happen next. I'll do anything not to put that pencil to the paper. For example, I'll answer questions on Goodreads...
But once I do, I'm on a roll. All the words are there. I'm not at a loss for anything until something shiny catches my attention, and I'm off procrastinating again.
