  I’m always struggling to get my shit together and be more productive in life. Most especially my writing. If you’ve followed this blog for any length of time, then you already know this. I’ve talked about this in several posts on this blog. Back in May , I wrote a post about all the things I was working on. As always, I got lazy and didn’t really work on any of it. It was also back in May when I came up with the idea for my latest story, The Worst Man. That story sort of took my attention over everything else I was planning on doing, like learning how to build eBooks without an online converter, and other things I talked about in that post. As a result, when it came time to publish that story, I yet again used the Reedsy editor to convert my story to ePub. Which is fine. I love the Reedsy converter, and I was even thinking that maybe I’d just stick with it. Except when I went to do the final conversion, there was a hiccup on Reedsy’s side of things, and I didn’t get my ePub to co...

 At long last another new release! I know, took me long enough. Hopefully it's not this long between releases for the next story. This is a stand alone story that is first in a series of wedding themed stories.  I hate being in weddings, but my best friend was in a pinch. What choice did I have? Only after I agree to be in it, do I find out who the best man is. . . and he is anything but the best man. Anna My best friend is getting married, and all of her other friends are jealous because she scored the man of the century. She knows how much I hate being in weddings, but she needs someone. I can’t leave my friend hanging. The only problem is the best man. He would be the man of the century too, except he doesn’t do relationships. He doesn’t keep it a secret. What is worse is that he has me in his sights. I don’t want one night; I want forever. Is that really too much to ask? In my mind, Liam isn’t the best man. He’s the worst man. Liam I’ve had Anna in my sights since...

  I know, I know. I said I'd have this story out last month and that didn't happen. Sadly life stuff has been getting in the way of my progress. I've gotten a handle on most of that this past week and I'm back to making progress. With that said I thought I'd do a cover reveal for my upcoming story The Worst Man , as well as a quick update. If you haven't been following along, this is going to be the first in a series of wedding themed stories. All the stories will be stand alone, but revolve around a wedding theme. This story is finished except for a final read through and a few other administrative things I need to do for it. With all of that said, this story should be out by next weekend. I will of course do a blog post when it goes live. I've already started on the next story in this series. Hopefully, I will have it out sometime in October. Only time will tell. I just need to make this a bigger priority. Why the heck can't life stuff get that memo? A...

  I have exciting news. Or at least I think it is. I finally have a series underway. So far, the first story is drafted, and I’m heading into the final round of edits. The second story is coming together. As of now, this will be a four-book series. I have tentatively titled this series: Wedding Troubles. These will be stand alone stories that revolve around a wedding theme. The title of the series is subject to change, but as of now it is the best I can come up with, and I feel it fits the stories I’m writing. The first story is titled, The Worst Man . You know, instead of the best man in the wedding, this guy, according to the heroine, is the worst man. Still keeping a play on words for weddings, the second story will be titled, The Maid of Dishonor . I don’t yet have definite titles for stories 3 and 4, but I’ve been noodling things for those stories as well.   I’ve been putting a lot of work into these stories, and that’s why there has been little activity on here as o...

This past week has been too hot for words. No, wait, I’m a writer, I could give all kinds of words do describe it. But it’s really too hot and I'm too lazy to bother. I swear I’m turning into an old curmudgeon. This past winter I moaned and complained about the cold, but now I’m not happy with the heat. Next thing I know I’ll be yelling at kids to get off my lawn. Except, there are no kids where I live, so I shall stay young until then and put forth an effort to stop complaining about the weather. 😎 On that note, and despite the heat, I have been hard at work. I have finally gotten started on a few of the things I mentioned in my last post but haven’t implemented anything yet, but I’m getting there. The most important thing right now is I’m working on a story that is pretty far along. Even better, this story is going to be part of a themed series. The first story is shaping up great and I have notes for the second story and have an inkling of ideas for two more. They will all be ...

  I have started to write a blog post several times over the past few weeks, or is it months now? Considering my last post was in February, I guess it has been months. It was past time to sit down and spew something out of my little grey matter and get it posted. Yes, yes, I know, at the start of the year I was going to do a weekly post. Declared it loud and proud on this little blog of mine. I even managed it for a short time. A very short time. Oh well. I’ll not talk about how life got in the way again and blah, blah, blah. Or how I got in my own way again and blah, blah, blah. Because if I don’t want to write about that boring drivel, I’m sure no one wants to read it either. So let’s just move on from all of that. While I haven’t been posting on here or gotten another story ready to publish, I have been busy with things related to all of this. In no particular order, here’s what I’ve been up to. Formatting Stories Back when I published my first story on Amazon, I formatted and u...

  I’m sure I’ve mentioned on here before my desire to write a series. My first two stories were part of a series, but I didn’t get past two books in The Office After Hours . I suppose I could write another story in that series. That thought occurred to me recently. My next series, Holiday Wishes , only had two stories in it until this past December when I finally wrote the third story for that series. I came up with the brilliant idea to write a winter themed series. Because, you know, it’s winter. I’m a seasonal person. I don’t know why this is, or how I became this way, or if I was just born for the seasons. When it is winter, I want to read things set in winter. I’ve read plenty of romances with winter themes during the winter months. When it’s summer, I want to read something with more of a summer theme. I’ve read Treasure Island in the summer more than once. While I was writing Faking it at Christmas , I decided I would do a series of winter stories next. I wanted to keep the ...

Another new release! I'm so happy to finally get this story out. I would have had it out sooner, but being down over a week with the flu really put me behind on it. When I felt better, I was really happy to get back to it. Here it is - Second Chance in Winter. How did the man who did me wrong all those years ago end up looking hotter than sin? Even worse is my attraction to him is stronger now than ever. Claire After a humiliating experience in high school, I left the small town I grew up in behind for good. That is until I’m offered a job nearby and my dad would be disappointed if I didn’t stay with him. Everything is going great until I run into the man who helped humiliate me all those years ago. Logan is the last person I want to see. Ever. Except, he is even hotter now than he was in school. In fact, he is everything I could want in a man. I don’t want to be this attracted to him, but I am. Only I don’t think I could survive him breaking my heart again. Logan I didn...

  If you read my last post, then you know I was getting all productive with things at long last. I’d even committed to doing a weekly blog post. Everything was great. I was excited. I was making progress daily. I . . . I came down with the flu. Yeah, so obviously no big blog post last week as I was on the couch too tired to do anything except sleep. I was also on target to get a new story out last week. None of that happened. The flu bug totally took me down. I am finally feeling better and trying to get back into things. In my part of the world, we went through extreme cold temperatures the last several days, which did nothing to help with my sudden stop in productivity. Right now I need to re-orient myself with where I was at on my up coming story and remind myself of what needs done yet. It’s just often a struggle to get back to work after being knocked down like I was. It has been some time since I contracted the flu this bad. I should have this story out before the end of this...

  What to talk about today? Honestly, I have nothing. So why am I here with a blog post if I have nothing? In trying to make goals for the year, I decided to be more active on here. I want to write and post more. Why? Because I enjoy doing this. Sometime ago, I began a blog under a different name with a different focus. My goal was to post weekly. I’d read somewhere that when doing an author blog, that was a good pace to go at. When I started that now neglected blog, that’s what I did. I sat down and wrote something, anything, once a week and posted it. To my surprise, I lasted longer at it than I thought I would. I think I had even picked a day to post. Maybe it was Monday or Wednesday? I don’t remember. I could check, but I can’t be bothered right now. It’s not really important. What is important is I’d stuck to the weekly blogging for some time and I enjoyed the heck out of it. In fact, if I’d became busy during the week and it came time to post something, I’d drop everything an...

I hope everyone had a happy and healthy holiday season. Can’t believe it’s all over with. I swear it lasted all of five minutes then, poof! it was gone. Yes, it’s that time again. Time to make goals for the new year. At the start of every year, I write down goals or things I want to achieve for the year. Rarely do I achieve them, stick with them, or remember them by February. I try again throughout the year, remaking goals and such, with the same results. As I was making my ill-fated list of goals for the year, I thought about why I don’t reach them. That is the problem I need to tackle. How to stick with my list and actually reach my goals. Some goals I achieve, but most of them, not so much. Course Corrected If you’ve been following along, then you know I’d fallen into some sort of slump or writer’s block or something. If you haven’t been following along, you can read the first post about this here and the second here . I’ll wait. All caught up? Good, let’s move forward. I am back i...
