I am working on producing the audiobook for Descent of Ravens, and I think I’ve got my narrator lined up. It’s not set in stone yet, but he’s interested, talented, and can do it yet this year. By the time we get Book I out on audio, Book II will be out- I am hopefulContinue reading “Woo Hoo!”

New Furbabies in the family…
My first author bio mentioned an ancient and grizzled cat… who then promptly died at the ripe old age of 15, leaving me with no pets to include in my bio. The actual heartache of losing a companion I’ve had with me for a huge chunk of my life aside, to be truthful the houseContinue reading “New Furbabies in the family…”
Final Revisions
I’m in the last leg of this journey for Book 1, finally. I’m within days of finishing up major revisions to the manuscript, which will include adding a new chapter near the end. Otherwise it has mostly consisted of improving the “stitching” that holds the text together, and working on strengthening my characters and theirContinue reading “Final Revisions”
How Many People Does it Take to Write a Book?

And yet now I have six beta readers, an editor, a sensitivity reader, a cover artist, and I haven’t even considered whether or not I will ever be able to afford toContinue reading “How Many People Does it Take to Write a Book?”
