Happy World Book Day! #WritingCommunity

900 new words on my latest novel today. I'll take that as a win.

Normally, I write longhand before transcribing everything to my Word file. Today, though, I'm finding some success writing directly into the document. Changing the routine really does help break through blocks and tough writing times. #WritingCommunity

I'd rather focus on making my dreams come true than the waking nightmare.

Working on the follow-up to Criminal Impulses today. I have books ahead it I need to finish writing, but I felt a little inspired this morning, so I guess I'll run with it for a bit.

Providing enough setting detail to ground the reader is still a big weakness of mine. Even now, on my final polishing pass before handing this book off to my publisher, I'm still adding in little details. #amwriting

Definitely need to work on adding more setting details to this book.

Gotta love a good review!

The downside to having so many unfinished manuscripts is figuring out which one to give your attention to...

Too many manuscripts to edit. Not enough time. Welcome to my world...

Spending some time on my epic fantasy manuscript. I'm a huge sword and sorcery fan and this is (hopefully) one of those pieces.

Working on polishing up my Fountain of Youth novel this week. Need to get this one wrapped up so I can move on to other projects. #writingcommunity #amwriting

As difficult as it is, this week, I'm focusing on the writing.

Time for a bit of a timeline cleanse. Where my fantasy and scifi writer peeps at? Drop an image, line, or cover that represents your work. Let's flood Blue Sky with some awesome!

My happy place.

I'm writing today. Don't know how many words I'll get, but there will be typing!

I'd really like to sell some more books. This workin' for a livin' is killin' me.

Starting edits on my new novel Something in the Water, set to release later this year. I'm really excited about this one. I love the story and the characters. Now, I just have to make them shine!

Another revision done!

Received my author copy of Dragon Flight yesterday! Looking forward to digging into this one!

Did you all pick up your copy yesterday? Proceeds to go help victims of Hurricanes Helene and Milton.

Would a vampire queen-to-be risk mind, body & soul to attempt a rite no one has performed in living memory to stop Armageddon, knowing her enemies may, meanwhile, kill her one true love? Find out reading “The Door”. #vampires #SFF #booksky 📚💙 #WritingCommunity #thriller amazon.com/dp/B0CSZP2VBG

It's release day!! Grab a copy of Dragon Flight from Dragon Soul Press and help out a worthy cause. Note: All sales from this anthology go to support victims of last summer's devastating hurricanes (Helene and Milton). www.amazon.com/dp/B0DNRW7JH...

To quote the famous beer slogan: I. Am. Canadian.

Post a ship that’s neither Star Wars nor Star Trek.

Psst! Psst! Don't tell anyone! My new novel Something in the Water will be out later this year from Cloaked Press, LLC! If you like murder mysteries and the Fountain of Youth, you may want to make a note!

Getting closer to release day! Grab your copy on Jan. 23rd! Proceeds go to help victims (both two and four legged variety) of Hurricane Helene and Milton.

Heading back to my in-person writing group today for the first time since Sept. Very much looking forward to it. Need to get back into the swing of things.

A quiet house, my morning coffee, and my manuscript pages in my lap. This is how I like my Saturday mornings.

Time to do a little light reading while dinner does its thing in the oven.

California friends, do whatever you have to stay safe. Please. Thinking of you all. Absolutely devastating...

Spending some time with my married monster hunters on my lunch break, chasing down some wicked vampires in Romania. #amwriting
