It’s a beautiful spring day and I’m tempted to go outside and write but I’ll probably get distracted and nothing will get done. I set two goals for this past week. One was to get the first story in my new series Cowbear Haven finished and published. I achieved that yesterday. Here’s the cover. Once again,…

Friday Ramblings From An Author-Happy Easter
There’s nothing more satisfying than getting another project crossed off your to do list. This week I finally got my rebooted story finished and actually published. Here’s the cover that I also designed myself. Something new I tried with this one was to enroll it in Amazon’s KDP Select. For those of you who don’t…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Is It March?
Today I feel like someone’s fast forwarded the calendar and it’s really the end of March. I sat outside on the deck and couldn’t believe that it is in reality only mid-February. The sun was shining and birds were showing up in the garden and singing a spring chorus. I guess they’re as confused as I am…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Goodbye Printer
The first month of the year is slowly winding down which means the end of the first workshop of 2017. Two more begin Feb 1st and just in case anyone’s interested here are the links. The first one is the synopsis bootcamp which has reached it’s ten participant limit but I’ve given…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Teaching On a New Venue
Happy Friday to everyone. It’s crazy to think it’s already the 20th of the month. I got lots done this week including uploading some of my writing workshops to a new platform over at Teachable. My school is called The Writer’s Workshop. I’ll be adding more classes there soon. Next week I’ll be working…

After a month break from publishing and teaching, this week things got back to normal. Monday saw the kick off of the workshop and yesterday the release of the first of four books I’m publishing this month. Here’s a look at the cover for it- My plan was to launch my coaching business this coming…
Keep Your Eye on Your Book Categories
Like me, I know many of you self publish your books so I wanted to share a recent experience with you. Well, actually it’s a recent frustration and I’ve still no idea how it happened. First of all, I’m a huge fan of Amazon KDP. It’s the first platform I upload my books…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Hot Summer Days
Is it scorching hot where you live? It probably is if the weather reports are anything to go by. Where I live it’s hot and humid…never a good combination. I’m just glad I got some outdoor chores done earlier in the week. One good thing about hot muggy weather is you stay inside and as…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Summer Break
Another workshop finished today and now I have six weeks until the next one begins. Lots of chores are calling my name…lots of writing projects are also calling my name so I won’t be idle. Yesterday I released the first of two new writing books I recently worked on. The first one is about writing…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Almost Summer
Summer starts next week and I think it’s the perfect time to look at the goals you set for the year and maybe make a few new ones. There’s too much pressure on you when a new year starts so this is my favorite time to evaluate (and maybe even re-evaluate), what I set out to…
