2017 has been a year featuring a lot of growth for me as a writer. My writing is beginning to gain exposure, and I feel that I’ve honed my craft further this year and gotten closer to my goals as an author. I completed the first draft of my novel, and have spent the rest... Continue Reading →

Time for a new weekly writer’s roundup of my works-in-progress and those ready to read! Writerly things that I got done this week: I gave my writer’s bog a substantial facelift and overhaul this weekend. If you mostly follow me in your WordPress Reader, the change won’t be readily apparent. But you can check out... Continue Reading →

Time for a new weekly writer’s roundup of my works-in-progress and those ready to read!

Time for a new weekly writer’s roundup of my works-in-progress and those ready to read! I released the first chapter of Cretaceous Queen —my novelette of teenage superheroes, magic, dinosaurs, and robots— on Saturday, and it’s begun to pick-up traction!

WIP-it Wednesday: November 15th, 2017
Time for a new weekly writer’s roundup of my works-in-progress and those ready to read! This week has been alternately exhilarating and frustrating.

Time for a new weekly writer’s roundup of my works-in-progress and those ready to read! As I mentioned last week, we had a heavy storm hit my neck of the woods where I live in Maine a few days before Halloween, which has now been dubbed posthumously as a ‘bomb cyclone’. We lost a dead... Continue Reading →
WIP-it Wednesday: November 1st, 2017
Time for a new weekly writer’s roundup of my works-in-progress and those ready to read! Alright, this is going to be a quick one!

Time for a new weekly writer’s roundup of my works-in-progress and those ready to read! The domino effect from getting my author’s site ready and the establishing a small publishing business continues to wreak havoc on my writing schedule. Last weekend, setting-up the posts I schedule for this blog got pushed out, and I thought... Continue Reading →
WIP-it Wednesday: October 18th, 2017… About Me
It’s a different kind of WIP-it Wednesday today, as all my efforts this week have been focused on getting my writer’s website ready and starting my own small press publishing business. For some reason, all this work is complicated and time consuming. ;-) However, it’s also very exciting and rewarding! A major effort of mine... Continue Reading →
WIP-it Wednesday: October 11th, 2017
Time for a new weekly writer’s roundup of my works-in-progress and those ready to read! This weekend was half catch-up and half writing.

WIP-it Wednesday: October 4th, 2017
Time for a new weekly writer’s roundup of my works-in-progress and those ready to read! As a writer, I deal with spaces every day.

WIP-it Wednesday: September 27th, 2017
Time for a new weekly writer’s roundup of my works-in-progress and those ready to read! The past week was a busy one.

WIP-it Wednesday: September 20th, 2017
Time for a new weekly writer’s roundup of my works-in-progress and those ready to read! Things are playing out somewhat as I thought they would at this time last week.

WIP-it Wednesday: September 13th, 2017
Time for a new weekly writer’s roundup of my works-in-progress and those ready to read! I’ve been busy as usual, but on things other than Vivian's Last Cigarette at the moment.

WIP-it Wednesday: September 6th, 2017
Time for a new weekly writer’s roundup of my works-in-progress and those ready to read!

I’d hoped to finish the chapter by then… but alas… I once again came... Continue Reading →

Time for a new weekly writer’s roundup of my works-in-progress and those ready to read! First, a quick update for all of you who wrote me concerned about my health after last week’s post.

Time for a new weekly writer’s roundup of my works-in-progress and those ready to read! It’s been an eventful week.

Time for a new weekly writer’s roundup of my works-in-progress and those ready to read!

Time for a new weekly writer’s roundup of my works-in-progress and those ready to read!
