Third Book is Out!
Well, I have not bothered to update this blog in far too long. I fell out of the habit – so now I will have to work to recreate that habit. The big book news: I finished the third book, and got it published just before Christmas. I wanted to finish them all in 2022,…

I’m Back
So it’s been a non-writing kind of span of time.. First I got sick. Then my daughter got sick. Then boyfriend got sick. So that wasn’t great. But I also changed jobs, and managed to step into a new role when there was a LOT to do. Combined with meeting a lot of new people…

Proofs arrive tomorrow!
Of course, I already found a typo… but that’s the breaks. I took a shot at editing it myself, as the amazing book layout person does give me an editable version – but since I don’t have her fonts and such, it uglied up her layout way too much. I’ll just make a list and…

Dear “Add my Chat Widget to your Site” Guy
Stop signing up for my book announcements every day, and putting comments (that I never publish) about your amazing chat widget. I’m sure it’s a great little widget. This isn’t a website that needs a chat widget. You’re annoying me. This post is for you, boostleads guy…

Writing Books Does Weird Things to my Search Patterns
Although my first book was set in the Pacific Northwest, books two and three are both set on the East coast. I do look up information about the places my characters are in fairly frequently, along with products they might buy, businesses they might work in, etc. Sadly, despite what the search engine thinks, I…

Having the book out there…
I have only told a handful of people about the book at this point, but it’s definitely a strange thing to just drop on someone. “Hey, I never mentioned it, but this summer I wrote a book, and here it is.” For what it’s worth – part of the reason I didn’t talk about it…

The book is live!
I put links on the books page…

First Book is in Amazon Review status
I had decided to publish the first book this week – I have always wanted the books to come out within a few months of each other, and I think this fits the pipeline speed that I have right now. The second book is with a beta reader and the third book is at 13,000…
