You are amazing and such an inspiration to everyone around you. I am proud to dream with you and share our love of horror.

With your magic powers, you keep The Midnight Society running smoothly. I mean, to keep all of us focused is a full time job in itself!

So, you wrote a book…a guide from someone who is going to be reading your shit…

COME ON GUYS!

I WEAR PROGRESSIVE LENSES.

Yes. You heard me correctly. But what does this have to do with you, you ask? I cannot tell you just how many times I open a submitted piece–query, partial, or full–and my eyes cross. They literally fling themselves into the corners of my eyes in protest to the mass wall of text on my screen. The last thing we both want is for my head to begin screaming…

Thanks to the bf, I am putting the idea that words matter to work. I am getting ready to begin a new venture. I’ve eluded to this in a previous post, but here is the official announcement: I will soon be offering editing and proofreading services to writers. With the experience I gained during my internships at Entangled Publishing and the P.S. Literary Agency, I am able to help writers take…

Today, my amazing CP drops her latest novel! Horray, Valia Lind!! Before I introduce you to her work, let me tell you about Valia. She and I met via CP matchmaking hosted by Maggie Stiefvater. We hit it off right away, sending each other our works in progress. We are very different. While I write horror, with lots of swearing and other naughty things, Valia is more sweet and reserved in her…

My post might be a little late, but I’ve hit the ground running. BTW, this is a joke. If you know anything about me and running–let’s just say my saying is that there’s no reason to run unless you are being chased. No one is chasing me, except me. And this year I am all about chasing my dreams. This includes submitting VtMH, embedding myself further into the world of publishing, learning more…

Violet the Monster Hunter is FINISHED!!

Yesterday, I wrote the last words on the pages of my YA paranormal romance. Talk about relief. This has been a work in progress for about 1 1/2 years and I am so excited that it’s finally done. As a writer, I know that this isn’t the end. THIS is just the beginning. So what’s next? Revise the dreaded query letter for the 100th time. Yay! Edit the synopsis. Again. Wait for the #PitchWars…

Happy New Year! I have been offline a lot in 2016, but that doesn’t mean things haven’t been happening. Last year brought HUGE life changes for me. Ones that were not easy to make and that took me away from social circles and writing. This year, I’m back at it! I’ll be back to posting on a semi-regular basis, so watch for updates coming soon…  

I think I may have finally gotten my shit together. Okay, not really. But enough that I’m being productive and writing again. Every morning after I take care of the dogs, I plant my butt in the chair to write. After some feedback on my previous WIP, I’ve decided to shelve Violet the Monster Hunter for the time being. There’s something not gelling with it, so I’m taking time away. But, that means…
