Mirrors & Ashes
It’s been a hot minute since I went on blog review hiatus. I’m still working on catching up on my review backlog and regular reviews are not back yet. However, I read a book with a monthly book club this…

My Experience with Robin Reads
As I think most of you are probably aware by now, Saving the Dragon was on sale this week for 99 cents. Some of you may be wondering why I did the sale so early relative to the release of…
April 2021 Update
My performance for Camp NaNoWriMo was, predictably, abysmal. Finding the Dragon is sitting at just shy of 8000 words (some of which I think will be thrown out) as I write this. That’s a far cry from the “modest” 23k…

A Big Bite from a Bad Apple
Today I decided to take a leap and try something new. I bought an iPad. It has a tough little case with a built-in keyboard, and I thought it would be great for writing on the go. Let’s face it,…
Almost to the Finish Line
I want to start off by saying that while self-publishing is probably the single hardest thing I’ve ever done (I’m putting it ahead of graduating college, getting my class A CDL, getting married, and actually writing the book) I can’t…
