Death’s Awakening

Death’s Awakening!!!!!

It’s here! Death’s Awakening is on sale! This is so epic for me, you guys. I have wanted to write a zombie apocalypse story that had witches and magic for FOREVER. I first started this book for NaNo WriMo back in 2009. It was my first Young Adult novel, and I immediately knew this is where my voice really fit. This is the only novel I ever pitched to an agent. At the time, I was devastated that she passed on it, but now, I know this was just the right path for me. I am so happy to finally…

WRITE-A-PALOOZA!!!! Myrtle Beach Spring Edition

It’s that time again for me! I get this itch for the beach every so often, and I’m incredibly lucky and grateful that I only live a short drive away from the beautiful beaches on the Atlantic coast. Myrtle Beach, SC here I come!!!! Here WE come, actually. I’ll be heading there on Saturday with my little family of three. We have a two bedroom oceanfront condo, and I can’t wait! The weather is supposed to be gorgeous, warm and sunny. Exactly what I need right now, let me tell you. But this isn’t a vacation in the typical sense….

Wow, I have so much news to share! I have been really hard at work on several different projects. In a way, it’s so strange to be writing in someone else’s voice.

NaNo WriMo Webinar

Anyone who has followed me long enough knows I am a huge fan of NaNo WriMo (National Novel Writing Month). When I was first starting out as a writer, NaNo was one of the first events that inspired me to let go of my inner critic and just write the story that was in my head. I mean, the slogan is “Thirty days and nights of literary abandon!” How fun is that? No edits. No judgment. No worries. Just writing. I first participated in 2008 and even though I haven’t won every year, I’ve gotten a lot of writing done…
