A creative brain can be a tough beast to deal with when it’s constantly spewing out book ideas when my backlog is in double digits. Everything on my website is either completed or a work in progress. Here’s the full breakdown: Melusine’s Endgame: Ruby Memory, …
Read MoreMuses and Musings
What drives creative types like me? Greek mythology gave credit for the inspiration of mortals to the nine Muses. Of all of them, I would say the closest match to me and my writings would be Calliope, muse of eloquence and epic poetry. With Melusine’s …
Read MoreBrain, Why Are You Like This?
It would be super awesome if you could keep just one story in there at a time. Okay, fine, one series at at time, even. That would be doable. Why, then, do you insist on not only having multiple books from the same series warring …
Read MoreThoughts On Reviews And Review Bombing
With my book coming out this fall, of course my brain turned to the concept of reviews. If you publish a book, traditionally or otherwise, you are going to get reviews. Some may be awesome, some…not so much. And you know what? That’s okay. Nobody’s …
