I found out about a simply wonderful initiative, Lift: Authors Raising Autism Awareness, just a tad too late to participate, but when I reached out to Ginger Scott, one of the organizers, she immediately responded with information so I can be part of this in at least a small way! What is it? It's a wonderful group [...]
Jase, book #4, Rebel Wayfarers MC book series Well, here we are. Thirty days from the release date for Jase, book #4 in the Rebel Wayfarers MC book series. I'm busily preparing and formatting the document for the print on demand service, so I can get a printed proof ordered and delivered in [...]
You all know how much I love music, and live music most especially. But, I admit, I might have gone a little concert crazy in 2014. I attended a large number of shows and concerts over the year, varying from small one-man sets in a bar to one multi-day brewing festival. The genres were also [...]
It came to my attention that Facebook groups have some advantages over the author page I started with. The post visibility in a group can be better controlled, which is great, but even better is that as an author, I can interact at a different level with fans. So, as an experiment, I've opened a Rebel Wayfarers [...]
It's Christmas Eve, and I'm writing Mason's story. That statement alone should do nothing to inspire fear or joy, because there are no threatening words in those few characters, and there are no overt tones of pleasure. But, when you consider the journey of the past year, the paths taken to get to this place [...]
I cannot tell you how much it means to me that so many of you want more. More of the stories, more about the characters, more information, more of...well, everything. Thank you for making these characters your friends, I have grown to love each and every one, even when they impose themselves on us unexpectedly, [...]
Not long ago I asked folks to send me questions about the books and characters. Nearly all of the questions would have resulted in terrible spoilers for anyone not having read the books, and I responded to most of those privately. I did, however, keep a small cache of questions which I felt needed answers, [...]
I am so pleased with what Melissa of MGBookcovers and Design accomplished with the cover for Bear. I think she is the BOMB, and patient to boot! Release date for the book is Dec. 1, which seems simultaneously so far away and yet right around the corner! There are still so many things to do [...]
As I work to get Bear's story ready for the editor (waving at Kayla), doing my first-pass run through in preparation for the December 1 release date, I find I've fallen even more in love with the characters than when I first captured their words and emotions on the page. Rob Crew (Bear) is so torn, [...]
Here are a few odd facts that I find amusing. According to Word, Mica took me 632 hours to write. That doesn't include editing time, because I changed documents, but editing and formatting added another 237 hours. If you consider that a typical work year for an 8-5 job is 2,080 hours, it's kinda crazy [...]
