That Nutty First Draft
As I’ve mentioned, I’m using NaNoWriMo to pump out a first draft this month. I went into how that all works for me a few posts back. So here we are, nearly 2/3 of the way through November. Things are going well, but there were some rough days when the words needed to be ripped…

Season of Giving Special (10% off Help Wanted)
A very bad thing happened to a friend of mine. I saw a lot of it, heard more. She survived to ask that I tell her story, and when I asked her what charity I could donate some of my royalties to – and encourage my readers to donate to – she immediately said “WEAVE!”…

Help Wanted: Excerpt Chapter Five
This is it! The last excerpt before publishing! I’m being generous, really; the excerpt is quite lengthy. Help Wanted is due to be published by the end of the month, so you won’t have long to wait to read the rest. 5. IN THE FLESH The next evening, Amy picked up Maggie before going…

The Final Stretch!
We’re so close to getting Help Wanted done and published! I worked on editing all weekend, those final little tweaks. I’m taking a day off from it tomorrow and then I’ll throw it on my kindle and see how it reads there. With any luck there won’t be any errors. If I need to make…
