It’s been a rough few weeks, but things are starting to settle into a new normal. My sister is recovering from her surgeries, and my niecelette is thriving. I’m back at my day job and have it mostly under control. Now that things are calming down, I’m going to go take a look at my […]
A friend once told me that the business of being an author is “write a book. Publish a book. Write another book. Publish another book. Repeat.” Chaos Wolf has been out almost a week now, and I’m still processing it. I’m also looking to the future and what else I need to get done to

I’ve bought artwork from my friend Colleen Wright many times. Recently, I comissioned some art that I’ll be using in future blog posts and some giveaways.

I brought home a hitchhiker the other night. Friday night I caught up with a lot of friends at Silicon Valley Comic Con. I also got to pitch some of Chaos Wolf, and discovered I need to carry a lot more business cards when I go to this type of event. Because I had
Never has a comic summed up my feelings so completely. Last week’s thing was moderating a panel I felt woefully underprepared for. Yesterday’s was pitching blog posts to authors I highly admire.

It’s 8:00 PM on Sunday night and I’m staring at a blank screen. I realzied on a ride back from the Greater Bay Area Costumer’s Guild’s Open House that I didn’t have a blog post ready. I hopped online and asked my friend what she wanted to hear me talk about this week? So Tabitha,

I had a whole list of things I planned for my blog after the first of the year. Then on the 30th of December I came down with the Chest Cold of Death(tm). So all my new years plans got cancelled in favor of trying not to cough. Two weeks later, I finally have stopped

It’s been an interesting beginning to the new year. For the last few weeks of December, I dropped offline to finish the developmental edit of Chaos Wolf. It was my personal goal to have it done by the end of 2017. I made it, sending it in on December 30th for the copy edit. While
