Like everyone else, I hate 2020. What a crap-crusted year this has been. BLECH. However, one bright spot of nearly ten months of relentless sheltering in place, barely going anywhere but the grocery: a lot of time to read. I read more than 100 books this year, across practically every genre. š® The past few…

Usually around this time, with my spring semester coming to a close, I do a little summer celebration and forecast post, full of excitement for all the writing I’m going to get to do in the next few months, while one full-time job is mostly on pause and I can focus completely on the other…

Here we are at the end of another year. I don’t really do New Year’s resolutions, but I can look back over the past year and ahead to the new one. 2019 was the 6th anniversary of my indie publishing career and the 7th anniversary of the beginning of my fiction-writing journey. I took a…

When I was a kid, around eight or nine, I got one of those little pink diaries with a lock for Christmas. I immediately began styling myself as the second coming of Emily Dickinson, writing poems and scribbles and locking it carefully after every entry, hiding it under my bed. (Yes, I knew about Emily…

Last Saturday, Lead, the finale of the Brazen Bulls MC series, went live, and that represents my last MC romance for a while. After three complete series occurring in the same story world, a total of 27 books, itās strange not to be actively writing or at least taking notes for a story about bikers.…

Now that Lead is out in the world and The Brazen Bulls MC series is complete, I thought Iād take some time and reflect on writing that series, and on writing three (so far) related biker series that crossover with each other the way Signal Bend, Night Horde SoCal, and the Bulls do. This is…
