Good morning! I'm up! I'm awake! I'm rested and caffeinated! That is a recipe for a very productive day. The giveaway for 'Fin's Magic' officially ended last night. Overall, I call it a success. The book was downloaded quite a bit, and hit best seller lists on Amazon in both the U.S. and overseas. It … Continue reading So close!

The Muse is in the House!
But not the way you're thinking. LOL. We adopted a kitten over the weekend, and her name is Muse. Now, one of my author friends has declared it to be the perfect name, as now I can blame the Muse for not just lack of writing, but spilled drinks, potted plants, broken dishes, etc. The … Continue reading The Muse is in the House!
A Series of Moments
What drives an author? Is it the belief that publishing a book will lead to instant riches? Fame? Going from obscurity to being the person chatted about at parties? Hearing stories of your friends living vicariously through you? Is it simply that there are stories inside us that must be told? The driving need to … Continue reading A Series of Moments
Why You Need a Public Persona
Happy Monday! At least, I hope it is. It's technically Sunday right now, but this topic came up and wouldn't let me go. So here I sit, on a Sunday evening, writing a post for Monday.

On Creating a Persona
I originally posted this to a closed group on FaceBook. Had a few people say I should share it here, so hope you agree!

Insecurity, Thy Name is Author!
Good morning! I hope everyone has a great week.Me? I struggled a little. Okay, more than a little. For a day, I gave into the hopeless insecurity that plagues every author.
