Hey, it's a new week!

And almost February. Yikes! My daughter went back to school yesterday, so I'm still trying to get myself into the swing of having the whole day to myself. I wound up finishing the book I was reading and writing a review for it. I know, very productive. Not. ;) Remember how I m…

Taking a deep breath

OMG. I can't believe it's been so long since I last dropped in and added a new blog post. But I've been swamped with edits. Seriously. It all started last week when I received edits for my upcoming novella, UNSEEN . As I already mentioned, I got the edits done, but then…

Good morning & hello!

I have the Sierra Fox Blurb to share!

So, how was the first week of 2012 for you? For me, it was filled with unmotivated thoughts and a need to spend my time doing anything but thinking about writing. Although it did mean that I spent quite a bit of time doing stuff with my daughter, which is cool. I won't be avoid…

So... 2012, huh?

Did you all have a fun and safe new year? We did. I don't like going out to celebrate during the festive season, there are just too many troublemakers out there and a lot of bad things happen. So we prefer to stay home. It's safer, and a lot more fun. IMO. So, are you impresse…

My only reading challenge for 2012 is a personal one...

To catch up on the many series books that I've got sitting on my TBR pile and Kindle. That's right. Even though I read a lot of books during 2011, I also managed to fall behind on a lot of my favourite urban fantasy and mystery series books. So, this year, I'm going to c…

It's 2012...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
