  • SHADOW DEMONS: Chapter 3 – A Pair That Looked Just Like This

    I’m posting a little bit late today, but I have a good reason. I was up until 5 AM this morning finishing the second round of edits for Shadow Demons! It felt so incredible to finally hit that final moment in the book and know that it has finally all come together. As you know, this fourth book has been a struggle for me, but I feel like it’s really close to being ready now. I am working tonight to go through with one last polish before I hand it over to my critique group for their opinions. We have…

  • MILESTONE: 25,000 Books Sold!!

    I am so excited to post that I have officially sold 25,000 total copies of my ebooks since I first self-published BEAUTIFUL DEMONS back at the end of October, 2010. In less than 8 months, I have become an author with a small but growing and dedicated fanbase. It’s truly a dream come true! Back in March when I hit the 10K milestone, I made a prediction that if I was lucky, I would hit 25K sold in June or July. Here I am, right on time, and so excited I can’t see straight. This week, Amazon announced that self-published…

  • SHADOW DEMONS, Chapter Two: Then Who?

    It’s Friday again, and I have another teaser chapter of SHADOW DEMONS to give to you! Like I mentioned last week, this isn’t by any means the final edit of the chapter, but it’s very close to what you’ll find in the book once it is published. I am already more than halfway through this round of edits and feeling good about the direction of this book. I’m definitely getting closer and closer to a release date, so stay tuned for more news! If you haven’t read chapter one, you can find it here. Then Who? Mary Anne led us…

  • 21 Days to Vegas

    My husband and I are going to Las Vegas in exactly 21 days! I am so excited I can barely see straight. The only other time I have been to Vegas was for our wedding in December of 2009. We had been hoping to go back for our 1 year anniversary, but between family obligations and my new career getting started, we weren’t able to make it. Instead, we decided to go for G’s bday. Right now, I am working hours and hours a day to make sure SHADOW DEMONS comes out before we leave. I have no doubt that…

  • Self-Publishing Resources

    On Saturday, I gave a talk on self-publishing at my local Romance Writers of America meeting. Our local chapter is the Heart of Carolina Romance Writers, and I have been a member of the group since 2007. If you are a writer in the Raleigh/Durham area, I highly recommend joining or at least coming for a visit. I had such a great time talking about my experiences so far as an Indie author. For the talk, I decided to put together a series of handouts and walk-throughs people could refer to if they were interested in learning more about self-publishing….

  • SHADOW DEMONS, Chapter One: Vengeance

    As I announced earlier this week, I have decided to release one chapter a week until the release of SHADOW DEMONS, Book 4 of the Peachville High Demons series. Most of you who read my books already know that my chapters are pretty short, but hopefully this little teaser about the start of the book will give you some insight into the path this story is going to take. I’m excited to release Chapter One: Vengeance today on my blog! NOTE: This isn’t the absolute, final edited version of the chapter. It’s just what I have right now as I’m…
