  • July Sales Numbers

    Hi everyone! Sorry I’ve been slack on posting. I also still haven’t managed to separate my self-publishing blog from my regular writing blog, so I apologize to fans who don’t really care about this stuff, haha. Hopefully there are some of you writers out there still finding value in seeing what my numbers have done each step of the way. I feel like as self-published authors we should stick together and help each other however we can. This is just one small way I hope to help. That being said, July was one of those amazingly, almost-can’t-believe-it, omg-I-might-faint kind of…

  • Inner Ear Fiasco

    Hi everyone! Sorry I haven’t updated the blog much this week, but on Monday I had to go in to the doctor because I’d been having dizzy spells and feeling super tired. Turns out there was fluid on my inner ear causing some equilibrium issues. Yuck! I’m still feeling a little bit off today, and this week has been mostly about resting and trying to get healthy. I also found out today that the reason I’m so tired is that I’m severely deficient in Vitamin D. Fun! No, no, not fun. At least I know there’s a reason behind it,…

  • 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…
