I wanted to share another chunk of my alt-universe urban fantasy WIP with you today (19,357 words and going strong), but I’m feeling just a teensy bit overwhelmed between writing new words and getting Endings and Empathy (Amplifier 6) off to the proofreader. Let alone all the regular admin, etc. Oh! And Julie (producer) and […]

We are barreling toward 2023 but instead of a year-end wrap-up, I’m feeling the need to write down everything that I already have scheduled in 2023 all in one place. Yes, already scheduled. Like, I really can’t get out of it at this point. 😂 Notes of interest (with more details and timing/dates below): The […]

Shower glass and other minor musings …
The shower glass just got delivered! Whoot! We MIGHT get into our new bedroom/ensuite by Christmas! But definitely by New Year’s! We’re racing the winter storms right now because we don’t have a functional wood stove, so if we lose power we’re pretty screwed. The wood stove needs to be moved from the corner of […]

Ah, October. The 2022 edition.
Me: what has happened to the A on my keyboard? I just bought it! Also me: *double checking when said purchase was actually made* Oh … well … I mean, Jan 2021 really isn’t that long ago. Me again: Hmm, I have been exclusively writing two series THAT ENTIRE TIME with an Amplifier and an […]
Me: *after returning home from picking up a prescription and some sugar so I can bake cookies later**so now totally exhausted, of course*: I can’t find my rollerball pen insert. It was right here, right beside my notebooks. I brought it inside along with the pen because I was fairly certain the ink was running […]

It’s not even noon and I’m exhausted.
It’s been taxes, taxes, taxes around here – Michael is in the process of adding his receipts to the excel document we forward to the accountant so I’m off the hook for a few hours, hence the list of other things I’m working on today (see below). Why is it that jumping focus between projects […]
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 commencing my final read through of Archivist 1.5 (which will be in my newsletter on Nov 25)(with, fingers crossed, a preorder link!) and Archivist 2 (which will then go to the proof reader) – yay! It feels like it took me forever to write the second book in the Archivist series – my notebook […]
Well … just in case you were wondering how my day is going, my menopause specialist just informed she’s tapped out, and referred me to the Chronic Disease Clinic in Vancouver – which is a rather crazy scary name BTW. It will only take 18-24 months to get an appointment – so much YAY! Yep, […]
Idols and Enemies (Amplifier 4) releases in eight days. I’m trying to not freak out because I really thought I had MORE TIME. In fact, I’d somehow convinced myself that I actually had everything under control. But I have no marketing banners (Gene Mollica is working on those for me right now), I haven’t remembered […]
