Well, it’s officially the start of autumn… probably my very favorite season, for many different reasons. Firstly, the weather, of course.

(I can no longer use the word “Project(s)” alongside “2025” or I will go into a rage as well as vomit… and so, “creative endeavors” it is…) Unsubscribing from sticking the “business mindset” onto my writing doesn’t mean I’m no longer going to write, publish, or sell my books, mind you. On the contrary… I […]

I’ve thought about writing this post for months now. But I could never make myself sit down and do it because I wasn’t exactly sure how to say what I wanted to say without sharing a lot of stuff that I’m sure no one would care about or without being too depressing. I’m honestly still […]

No. I do NOT want to be more productive in 2023. I do not want to publish more books in 2023. I don't want to do MORE of most things in 2023, to be honest.

Nope. You know what I DO want to do more of in 2023?

Yes, I have a problem. I’ve noticed this problem occurring now during all 7 of the last novels I’ve written, and now it’s happening with this one too! I am currently “deep” in the first draft of Demon at Devil’s Deep, the fourth book in The Legacy of Lucky Logan series. And it’s been going […]
