  • Speaking of Numbers…

    As of this moment, I have officially sold over 1,000 copies of each of my 3 ebooks on Amazon! I just remember Joe Konrath putting a list of people on his blog earlier this year (or maybe last year) who had sold at least 1,000 ebooks. I remember there being a star * beside the names of people who had sold over 1,000 copies of more than one book. Ever since I read that, I have had this idea that when I could sell at least 1,000 copies of each of my books in a month, I would definitely be…

  • Lucky Numbers

    My hubby and I have been talking about taking a trip back to Las Vegas. As you know, that’s where we got married in December 2009, and it was one of the most fun trips we’ve ever had. We are hoping to go back for a number of reasons. Number 1, G’s bday is in July and we could go during that week to celebrate. Number 2, My Peachville High Demons series will either be complete or close to it by the beginning of July. At that point, I’m thinking I will at least have the rough draft of Book…

  • Milestone: 10,000 Ebooks sold!

    Tonight, I hit another huge milestone in my career as an Indie author. As of midnight tonight, I have sold a total of 10,154 ebooks!!!!!!! It took me about four and half months to reach this milestone, which to be honest, was a lot faster than I ever dreamed it would happen. This is the total sales for all three of my Peachville High Demons series books. I haven’t separated them out to see how the sales break down in terms of x amount sold of book 1, etc. but I know they go in order. I’ve sold more of…

  • Good Start To Shadow Demons

    Tonight, I finally sat down and got started on Book 4, Shadow Demons. Getting started is usually one of the hardest parts. I always struggle with finding the right place to start a novel, but in the end, I always end up rewriting the beginning. Every single time. So this time I’ve decided to stop stressing about the beginning and just enjoy writing. Enjoy getting back into Harper’s world. My plan is to write at least 1800 words a day. I know this book is going to be a little bit longer than the others since the story continues to…

  • How I Plot My Novels

    Since I’m at the very beginning of plotting Book 4 of the Peachville High Demons series, I thought I would do a post about the way I plot a novel. In writer’s circles, there is a lot of talk about whether you are a “plotter” or a “pantster”. Basically, a plotter is someone who plots their novels out ahead of time. Often, these plots are detailed and exact down to each scene and character motivation. A pantster is someone who writes ‘by the seat of their pants’. No plot. Maybe a general idea of the central story action, but nothing…
