Getting Excited!

My work on DEMONS FOREVER has really just begun. I haven’t actually written a word of it yet, to be honest, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been working on it. Mostly, I’ve been going over my notes and working on the story-line. I think of all the books I’ve written so far, this one makes me the most nervous. Knowing the series is coming to an end is difficult. I want to make sure to wrap up all the loose ends. I want to answer all the questions that need to be answered. And I want to give all…

Fictional Friends

You know those characters you can’t get enough of? I’m talking about fictional characters. People in movies and books that you get into so much, you feel like you actually know them. I blogged about Harry Potter earlier this week, and I would definitely include Hermione, Ron and Harry in my list of “fictional friends”. These are people I wish I could know in real life. They are so well written, you feel that they must actually exist somewhere. My favorite TV show of all time is Sex & The City. Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda became my friends over…

Harry Potter – Is it Really Over?

I’ve been so excited about the final movie in the Harry Potter series, but as I was sitting in the theater last Friday night about to actually watch the movie, it suddenly hit me. It’s over. I was honestly upset when the final book came out, but with the movies, it was as if the story lived on. There was still this unique way to see the characters and the story come to life visually. But now, what’s left? The ebooks are going to be released on J.K. Rowling’s recently announced Pottermore, but the ebooks are just the books in…

June Sales Numbers

Life has been so busy with the release of Shadow Demons that I haven’t had time yet to post my June Sales Numbers. I had a fan ask me why I was posting my sales numbers, and I wanted to just talk about that for a minute. When I was first thinking about self-publishing, I spent a lot of time reading the blogs of other self-published writers. I was so grateful when they would post their sales numbers so that I could see what was possible. I decided to share my own sales numbers for that specific reason and also…

STOP: An Amazing Short Film by Mikel J. Wisler

I have a friend who was telling me about her brother’s short film, called STOP. I kept meaning to watch it, but just finally got around to it today, and WOW. I should NOT have put it off, because it totally blew my mind. OMG, this short film is amazing! I wanted to share it here today, because I think it’s the type of things fans of the paranormal will like to see. It’s only a few minutes long, but it still manages to tell a great story. When it was over, I so badly wanted there to be more!…

I’m Back!

Yippee! I’m back from our Vegas vacation and ready to get to work. It was so nice to be able to take a real break with (almost) no work. G and I relaxed, partied, had a great time walking around Vegas and just spending time together. It was our first time back to the city since we got married there in 2009, so it was a fun trip for us. I even got to hang out with my buddy Cameron Diaz (well, okay, the wax statue of her from Madame Tussaud’s wax museum)! Now, I’m back and getting into writing…
