  • New Covers!!!

    I am so excited to announce that my new covers for the Peachville High Demons series are ready! I got the final approved files today, and I couldn’t wait to show them to everyone. I have decided to show one cover per day since it’s Tuesday and I have four covers and four days left in the week. Today’s cover is BEAUTIFUL DEMONS, Book 1 of the Peachville High Demons series. This one is my favorite of all four! I absolutely love the photo and the contrast. To me, the cover portrays the mystery/paranormal element of the book really well….

  • Shadow Demons Update: Unexpected Delays

    I have some sad news to announce today. While I completely intended to release Book 4: Shadow Demons in May, the book simply isn’t ready. After a very stressful weekend of worrying about it, I finally made the decision to hold off and publish the book in June. Overall, the delay is only going to be about 2 weeks. Right now, I’m officially pushing back the release until June 10th. I am so sorry to push it back! I get messages every single day from people asking when the book is coming out, so I know some of you are…

  • The Royal Wedding!

    I stayed up all night last night watching coverage of the royal wedding. It’s not everyday that you get to witness a true fairy tale! With all the news focused on things like murder and death and gas prices and war and everything bad and tragic happening in the world, it was such a beautiful experience to see hours on end of joyful celebration and happiness. Catherine Middleton grew up as just a normal girl. She never knew she would be in the public eye, and she probably never dreamed she would someday become a Duchess and a Queen-in-waiting. Yet,…

  • Peachville High Demons Promo Items!

    I have some exciting news! I’ve been working on some prize packs for a “spirit week” in the days leading up to Book 4 of the Peachville High Demons series. I am planning 7 days of giveaways, and have started ordering all the items that I’ll be giving away. For starters, I designed some bookmarks with the following tagline: In Peachville, even the cheerleaders have a dark side. On the back, it lists the names of all five books in the series, along with the months they either were released or will be released. I also signed all the bookmarks….

  • 20 Minutes At A Time

    I’ve been sitting at my local Panera most of the day writing. I wanted to take a little break from SHADOW DEMONS for a few, so I’m hiding out on my blog. When I first started writing full time (about three years ago), I had a really hard time motivating myself to work all day. I never realized how hard time management could be. I always thought that people who worked for themselves were just so lucky and they had it so easy. God, was I wrong! Working for yourself and setting your own hours is HARD. It definitely has…

  • Shadow Demons Update

    Book 4 is starting to get interesting! I’m a little less than halfway through the rough draft, and this is the part where I really start to know what the story is about. I always start with some idea of what’s going to happen in the book, but somewhere along the way, everything changes. When I start a new book, even if it’s part of a series like this one, I spend the first few weeks being absolutely certain that I have no talent and that this book is going to suck. The story doesn’t seem to be coming together…
