Fellow Tenner and local author friend Denise Jaden made this post today about focusing on what we love about our writing, instead of picking at ourselves over what needs improvement. Â As she says: As writers, I think we spend a lot of time thinking about the areas we need to improve. And that’s necessary, it […]
The Renegade X sequel has a title!
I updated the title on Goodreads, so I thought I’d do an official announcement here! The title is…. THE TRIALS OF RENEGADE X Did I mention I got to see the rough sketch of the cover a while ago? Â I don’t think I did, but it is kick ass. Â I’m not going to show it […]
Harper Madigan: Junior High Private Eye
I am proud to present the cover and description blurb for one of my upcoming March releases! The blurb was written by me and the amazing cover art was done by Chloe Tisdale. 7th grade detective Harper Madigan works alone. He doesn’t need the vice principal assigning him a new partner to keep him in line, […]
A Gaggle of Announcements
Loud honking announcements that will chase you around the lake and beak you to death for a crust of bread! Er… probably not. Â These are actually very lovely announcements that don’t resemble geese in any way. Â But gaggle is a cool word. Â It’s right up there with gusset. Anyway, onto the announcements! In exactly 28 […]

Ponies!
As some of you probably know, I crochet. A lot. And in the last two months I started doing design work, which before then I thought I kind of hated. Because it was hard and I wasn’t passionate about anything enough to *want* to put in the work to get past that stage. And then […]
Happy 2012!

The secret to success, as demonstrated by my cats.
I was watching my two cats fight yesterday. Teisel, the big one that looks like an ocelot, refuses to attack unless he’s *perfectly* calculated exactly how he’s going to do it. When he’s going to pounce, where he’s going to bite, and, most importantly, whether or not he thinks he’ll be successful. He only wants […]
