I’ve been meaning to write this post for over a week and for various reasons haven’t gotten to it. But I’m here now, so let’s talk revision! On an earlier post, Maya pointed out: What I realized a lot is that many websites talk about how to fix your story line by line, not really […]
Harper Madigan comes out this Friday!

Stolen from Denise Jaden: What Do You Love About YOUR Writing?
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.

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 […]
