“LIVE-n It Up” Appearance
Last night I had a blast during the Bookies page author takeover event. I read an excerpt of Death's Dancer, answered questions, gave away stuff and did the big COVER REVEAL for Dancer's Flame.

But after turning in the final draft of Dancer's Flame for edits, and finished my NaNoWriMo project, I was pretty wiped and it was time to feed the beast...I mean, the muse. Plus Grandma stayed with us for two whole weeks, so I got to do a… Continue reading Read in December
NaNoWriMo: Why do I it. How I prepare. How I stay sane.
Why I do it. I've been participating in NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) since 2011. There have been a few gaps, particularly the last two years while Geeklet went from being what my husband I affectionately dubbed the larvae stage to something a little more self supporting.
