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…
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…
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.

Maybe a general idea of the central story action, but nothing…

And to top it off, February is a short month. I can’t wait to see what will happen in March since there are 31 days. One exciting thing to mention for the month of February is that my third book, Bitter Demons, came out on February 24th!!! It went live in the B&N store on the 25th and in the Kindle store on the 26th….
This past weekend in Wilmington/Wrightsville Beach was unbelievable. After working so hard to get three novels written and published in only six months, I needed a vacation. G and I decided to take just a short two-hour trip to the NC coast. We got a cheap room at the Hilton through Priceline and arrived late Friday evening. It was a great first night going to a pub for dinner and a drink, then relaxing at the hotel, but Saturday was one of the most perfect days of my life. Zero stress. Only happiness. We got to sleep in and if…
