It’s not until the power goes out that you realize how much the modern writer needs it. Case in point this morning when the electricity went out right before I turned on my laptop. No problem I thought I have enough power stored in the battery. Everything was fine until I decided to check my e-mail. Didn’t…

Friday Ramblings From An Author-So Many Books, So Little Time
Almost the middle of summer and I haven’t read as many books as I’d planned. Anyone else face that dilemma? It’s either write or read and for me writing has to take priority. Another thing that’s taken some of my time is outside work. We’ve had lots of rain and the weeds are flourishing. This week…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Last One In June
I’m not sure where June went but it seems to have flown by quicker than previous months. Maybe it’s because I’ve been busy which is always a good thing. Bringing Home The Bear was released on Monday and I was excited to see that All Romance eBooks have it as one of their featured bestsellers…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Mid-Summer’s Eve
Every weekend I keep saying I’m going to forgo watching TV, head out on the deck with a good book, a glass of wine, and stay there until the sun sets, but so far it hasn’t happened. Tomorrow is mid-summer’s eve so it’s now or never. Anyone got a favorite book you remember reading during…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Self Publishing is Here To Stay
Seems like every writing related article I’ve read this week has been focused on the merits of self-publishing, and as a self-publisher myself I couldn’t agree more that self-publishing is worth the effort and something that’s here to stay. I saw this article today on the UK Guardian newspaper Web site. Very interesting and here’s…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-New Cover
The first Friday in June. I love that the days are getting longer and it seems like there’s more time to write. Last Saturday I got up early, made myself a mug of tea, and decided to sit and write for two hours. I got lots written and I can’t remember ever doing that in…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Summer Might Be Here
It’s the first day this year that the air conditioning is calling to be switched on so I guess that means summer has finally arrived. Once some gardening chores are out of the way this weekend, I might take my laptop outside and write which will be another first for this year. The Are We…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-May’s Flying By
For some reason this week’s just flown by. My first shifter story was released today and here’s the cover- I’m always nervous when I write in a new sub-genre so I’m anxious to see how this book fares compared to my others. So far I’ve written two more in this series and have to say…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-April or May?
The calendar says May but today it feels more like April again. Not sure what’s going on with the weather these days but maybe that’s the start of a good story. And speaking of good stories, if you have one to submit and frustrated that lots of the big publishing houses require you to have…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-One Project Finished
The synopsis writing e-book is finally a finished project. I loaded it onto Amazon on Tuesday…the process of which I should say was really easy. In fact, so easy I thought I had to be doing something wrong. Here’s a look at the cover and a link to Amazon, yes, I’m a shameless self-promoter. Next…
