  • A Perfect Weekend

    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…

  • Book Signing: Kelly Keaton’s Darkness Becomes Her

    Tuesday night last week, I went to Kelly Keaton’s signing of her new YA novel “Darkness Becomes Her.” I was so excited to get my copy and to see Kelly. She’s such an amazing writer, so combine that with my love of YA, I know I’m going to love this book. Unfortunately, with my book coming out this week, I haven’t had a chance to read it yet, but it’s on my immediate to-do list for this upcoming week! First of all, let me just say, the cover on this book is AMAZING! The only thing that could have been…

  • Bitter Demons is on Sale Now!

    OMG, what an amazing feeling! Bitter Demons, the third book in the Peachville High Demons series, is on sale now at Smashwords and Barnes & Noble. I am so incredibly excited about this book. I have put so much time and work in it, and I really hope you enjoy it. I think part of what I’m most proud of is that I set a goal to write and publish a book every 2 months, and I’ve actually done it! I caved and decided to give myself an extra couple of weeks for Book 4 because it’s got a particularly…

  • Bitter Demons Complete!!

    Yippeeee!!! I’m shouting for joy over here! Hopefully, I didn’t wake the neighbors, but I can’t help it. I’m excited! I finished the final edits and formatting tonight, and I’ve pretty much been working nonstop all day. It’s about 2:45 in the morning right now and my husband (whom I love very much) is still awake working on the Barnes & Noble formatting even though he has to work in the morning. Thank goodness for a beach vacation this weekend. Of course, we may end up sleeping the whole time if the hotel bed is comfy. 🙂 As it stands,…

  • So Close…

    I am truly on the final stretch here! I’ve been working non-stop all day to do one last read-through of Bitter Demons and make sure it’s ready. I am still working on a few pages that I feel need to be stronger, but I am definitely going to finish tonight. I’ll maybe take a short break for dinner and then come back to do the formatting for Smashwords. After that, I can finally start sending out review copies! So excited and nervous! Then, I’ll pass the ball over to my husband, who is a genius. He does all the epub…

  • Minor Delay on Bitter Demons

    I had planned to upload Bitter Demons today, but the edits aren’t quite ready yet. I’m still optimistic that I can get it out tomorrow at the latest. My husband and I have a beach trip planned for the weekend, so I’m going to be working super hard to get this done so we don’t have to postpone our trip, haha. I need a vacation 😛 My amazing, best-in-the-world critique group has already been through the entire book and discussed it with me, so I feel really good about the overall content. At this point, I am just doing one…
