You know you've finally made it as an author when there's a new unsolicited emal in your inbox every day promising marketing that will get you in front of everyone.
As if I have the money for that.

FYI, I cannot recommend GetCovers as a reliable source to get a cover for your book. I just fired them and requested a full refund.

🎧 Want an audiobook of Nereid Unbound? So do I. But I want a human narrator, not AI. 📚💙
When Nereid Unbound reaches 1,000 copies sold, I'm committing to contracting a human narrator to bring the story to life in audio.
Let's make it happen.

Every time I think about AI narrated audio books I just get a sick feeling in my gut. It will be a year and a half before I can save up for a human narrator, but I guess that's the cost of having standards.

Things I was afraid of as a child.
1. Werewolves
2. The ghosts that hovered in the doorway at night
3. The full moon shining through the bathroom window
4. The family at the end of the street (for good reasons)
5. Being stung by a jellyfish

I was sleeping. Then my characters woke me up for a scene change. I really need to post office hours on my bedroom door.

Oh, wow! I'm done with edits! Of course I still need to a readthrough to see if I missed anything or need to add something, but I'm nearing the finish line on book two!

On this day, 25 years ago, I was working in the Pulaski County Courthouse in AR when the planes struck the towers on 9/11. We watched in horror on a small tv before being evacuated. The skies fell silent as air traffic was halted. Shock & fear gave way to surrealism. #September11 #NeverForget

I had a very productive meeting with my editor this evening. We went over the manuscript for book two, and I'm on top of the world from her high praise. I should have the edits completed within the week. Once I get the cover in my hands, I'll announce the next launch date. Stay tuned!

Several years ago, I left my very toxic job working at the courthouse for nearly twenty years. I recently spoke to a former co-worker who is still there, and they told me it's gotten even worse. So glad I GTFO of that dumpster fire. Don't put up with toxicity. It doesn't get better.

A good start to the morning. Just hit 47k words in book three, though it may be all the progress I make today because I have to get back to editing book two's manuscript.

Throwback from when the artists for Falling Skies memorialized me in their artwork. I think this was 'Battle for the Handle.' I was team human, fighting with the Resistance against the aliens. Seems I've always sided with the Resistance.

Well, it looks like I'll be in editing hell for the next couple of weeks, so book three is on the back-burner until that is wrapped up. On the plus side, my editor loved the second story in the series, so I've got that going for me!

It may be rainy tomorrow for my book signing at Salt & Story in Niceville, but I can think of no better place to be on a rainy day than inside a cozy book store filled with books. I'd love to introduce you to my urban fantasy series that set right here in the Florida panhandle. See ya there!
