Wow! Two updates from me in two days! I’m feeling rather productive! I just sent Recon Mission: Bee (Amplifier 5.5) aka Zans’ novella off to the sensitivity reader, Natasha Lane. And I’ll forward her notes along with the manuscript to SFG (the editor) once she turns around on her read. Yay! I’ve also started a […]

I’m pleased to announce that I just dropped Instincts and Imposters (Amplifier 5) into the editor’s inbox for story editing (the first stage of editing, also called developmental editing). To celebrate I thought I’d share a tiny snippet that Michael highlighted with a laughing face when he beta read the book last week. Aiden flashed […]

Amplifier 5.5: you get that a lot
I’m working through the second draft of Zans’s novella, Amplifier 5.5, and I wrote the first draft long enough ago that this little bit of perfect dialogue (if I say so myself) caught me unawares and had me laughing out loud. So I thought I’d share. Amplifier 5.5 will be bundled with Amplifier 5. I’m […]

Amplifier 5: otherwise occupied
Let’s just say that there are no half-measures for Emma, not even when she decides to be sassy. “It won’t come to that,” Aiden said mildly. “Ember already has the paperwork drawn up. This isn’t even a formality. You’ll now have the coven more involved in your lives than some of you would wish, but […]
I know some of you just wish I would write faster instead of sharing work-in-progress snippets. But I have to celebrate the little things that hit me in the moment! Like a sort of reverse fuel, you know? Sometimes … it’s not just the sad stuff that makes me blubber while writing … I slid […]
Lani grunted noncommittedly. “Mercury herself is something pretty to look at though. Miles and miles of creamy skin and those white blue wolf eyes.” She flashed me a grin. “I might grab some tea first.” I shook my head at her, but she sauntered off toward the treats with her hands still stuffed in her […]
In case you haven’t seen my posts on my various social media platforms, I had a hysterectomy (everything but ovaries) almost two weeks ago. I’ve been taking my pain meds diligently and reading a book a day but getting seriously restless. This afternoon, I’m doing some slow walking on my treadmill desk, which in turn […]
Pearl Godfrey crossed to greet us, raising her hand to meet Aiden’s handshake without a moment of hesitation. He flashed her a charming grin that just slid right off the elder witch. Now that was impressive. But then I pretty much melted whenever Aiden even glanced my way, even after all these months of the […]
Here is a great example of how I completely fail at marketing. I should be sharing pretty memes and quotes or reviews from either of my two newest releases, Compelling Infinity (Archivist 2) or Moments of the Adept Universe 1, but instead, I’m sharing half-baked new words because they amused me (and my attention span […]

Archivist Series: Ravine Byrne
Guess who just realized that she’d never shared Nicole Deal‘s amazing illustration of Ravine on her blog and therefore couldn’t link to it under Extras and Freebies? Me. That’s who. *shakes head at self* Thankfully the illustration also appears in the book! Ravine’s bright-blue gaze was riveted to me. Then she smirked. “I can be […]
