    A New Genre – A New Series

    February 26, 2016 / No Comments

    Only one week before Saving Sarah May drops — March 3! I’m both giddy and nervous. If this book does well and people like it, there are two more in the series. Going into a new genre can be a bit nerve-racking. I’ve always enjoyed romance. Well, technically I just really enjoy reading good stories. But romance is no exception.…

    New Covers!

    February 19, 2016 / No Comments

    Every so often an indie author has to go back through and re-evaluate old things. Like recently, I hired an editor to go back through Weekend Captive, SINcerely Megan, and Nice Girls Don’t to give them a good editing pass (updates forthcoming). Training Amy also received another editing pass from a real editor back in late 2013, a few years…

    To Pitch or Not To Pitch

    February 11, 2016 / No Comments

    That is the question. I started thinking about this over the weekend – whether or not to pitch one of my new series ideas to a bigger publisher at this year’s Colorado Gold. Ultimately I decided I should probably wait until 2017, when my series schedule clears up. Even then, I may just keep it to myself. So how did I come to…

    Why I Don’t Take on Apprentices

    February 8, 2016 / No Comments

    Again this week I was asked if I take on apprentices. Usually when Frank, my assistant, tells them no, they come back with, “Why?” So this post is the official, nothing withheld answer as to why I don’t take on apprentices. First – Being an apprentice/teacher requires a great deal of actual face-to-face contact. Daily is best. As an introvert…

    How NOT to Promote Your Novel

    February 5, 2016 / No Comments

    A Brief Guide for Newly Published Authors Do not SPAM your twitter feed or social network with links to your book once an hour on the hour for weeks or even months. That’s SPAM, not marketing. That doesn’t mean an occasional book pimp is a bad thing. Do engage in author events, talk to your potential readers about normal day-to-day…

    The Art of Focus

    February 1, 2016 / No Comments

    For years now I’ve had people in awe of my writing output. Some people have asked, “How do you keep it all straight?” I’m never sure how to answer this. The reality is that working on 2-4 projects at a time with more on the back burner is never easy. If I told you I navigated my chaotic writer brain flawlessly all…
