My writing retreat in the woods

A Writing Retreat In The Woods

Welcome back to another day of our Spooktacular Halloween Party! Back in August, I went away to a cabin in the woods in Oklahoma for four days to work on edits of The Disappearance of Vanessa Shaw, and today, I’m sharing a full ONE-HOUR vlog of that trip with you! My hope at the time was to completely finish edits, but I ended up getting a LOT done but not quite finishing the book. Come along with me for the journey. I’ll be live with you in the chat to give some behind-the-scenes of the event. It was epic and…

Day 5: Write Your Heart Out | Spooktacular 2023

I love how many of you guys showed up for our watch party yesterday. I’m so glad we could all get together, even virtually! And don’t worry if you missed it. We’ve got so much more fun to come. Today’s theme is all about writing. As many of you know, I’m getting close to being able to send The Disappearance of Vanessa Shaw to my beta readers, and I’m looking forward to announcing a release date for the book. This story has re-ignited my joy in writing. It means so much to be able to share this with you. DAY…

Brand New Paperbacks! | NaNoWriMo Vlog #2

Yay!! It was so much fun to get a HUGE box of brand new paperbacks in the mail after a long day of writing! As of now, I officially have *almost* all of my current books in paperback. Scroll down to find links if you want to purchase any of these. I’m also working on a plan to offer signed paperbacks and bookplates to send to you, which are basically signed stickers that you can place inside the book (cheaper and easier than sending the actual book back and forth!). Stay tuned for news on this coming up! For now,…

Writing Fate’s Surrender for NaNo WriMo

It’s National Novel Writing Month! Also known as NaNoWriMo, the month of November is one I’ve come to look forward to as writers all over the world dedicate themselves to the task of writing 50,000 words in 30 days. I’ve been participating in NaNo since 2008 when I wrote a book called Into Darkness (not published), and I’ve been hooked ever since! I’ve honestly met some of my favorite people during NaNoWriMO, and it’s been a great way for me to meet and hang out with local writers no matter where I live. For this year’s NaNo, I’m writing Fate’s…

What’s In My Laptop Bag | New Writing Vlog

Ever wonder what a writer takes with them when they go out to write? Today, I thought it would be fun to show you an updated look at what’s in my laptop bag as a writer! I went out for a fun afternoon away from the house to write at one of my local Barnes & Noble stores, which is one of my favorite places to write. I love the atmosphere, the coffee, and being surrounded by books! Plus, it’s always fun to browse the shelves and look at book covers, as well as pick up a new book or…
