Now that Beautiful Carnage is written and ready to head off to the editor, I’m diving into the fourth book in the Hollywood Guardians series, Deceit.
Read MoreSavage Society of Emerald Hills is a dark (my darkest yet) series full of forbidden stories. Think father's best friend, step brother, priests, etc. It’s set in Emerald Hills, the fictional town located in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains (in the Pacific Northwest), and…
Read MorePhew, what a journey! It took me an entire month, but I did it. Crossed Souls is now 16,000 words longer and I think the story is so much better than the original version. For context, 16,000 words is essentially the equivalent of four extra chapters (though I didn’t actually add any new chapters). I know all of my books are longer than your average romance novel, but hey, I’ve never pretended like I’m not a wordy bitch.
Read MoreI’ve written eleven books, and in that time, I’ve had a different method for plotting every single one of them. As a writer, I struggle a ton with perfectionism and I also have what I’m guessing is a raging case of undiagnosed ADHD on top of a type-A personality that drives even me crazy.
So, what does that mean for my writing methods? Welllll….
Read MoreWaaay back in 2007, I fell in love with a beagle. Her name was April, and she was my first ever fur baby and my first ever baby. My husband and I adopted her when we bought our first house, and we were in love. Fast forward five or so years and our lives had changed dramatically and because of that, it was impossible for us to keep our girl.
Read MoreLast week I managed to get all the Ruined Rockstars paperback interiors updated to match their brand new object-based covers. I’m so happy with how they came out (even if it was a ton of work, totally worth it!). I have this thing where the interior fonts need to match the ones on the covers, so anytime I change a cover it’s a massive undertaking to update everything to match.
Read MoreI’ve been working my way through Crossed Souls and tweaking the story to correct some things I should’ve put in the first time around. Currently, I’ve added about 7,000 words to the story and I’m working on chapter nine.
Read MoreRemember when I talked about how my world building was basically trash in Crossed Souls? I’ve had to do a lot of exploring of the world in my head to figure out all sorts of little details of Willa and the guys’ world to change while I’m doing rewrites.
One of the things that kept coming up was the question do the humans know supernaturals exist?
Read MoreI don’t know if you noticed but Twisted Little Games has disappeared from Amazon and my website. It’s not cancelled.
I’ve mentioned this in other blog posts I’ve done recently, but I’ve decided to postpone the Emerald Hills Elite series, but just for a little while.

I don’t know about you, but I can’t actually watch Hallmark movies or rom-coms or any of those type of things because I feel like the ending is just not enough. Do you know what I mean?
Read MoreWhen you invent a world of magic, it can be pretty intimidating. Anything goes, so where do you begin?
Read MoreI mentioned in my last post that Crossed Souls had started in my head as something so much different than it turned out to be when I wrote it. Originally, I imagined Willa as a sort of Cupid-like character. She was compelled to help everyone around her find their soulmates while not having one of her own and she was definitely bitter about it.
