If you’re here, it’s probably because you like my zombie books. Or my romances and since I no longer blog under my other name, you tolerate my zombie stuff just because you like me. OR you like romance AND zombies. And to you, I say, YAY! But you know, there ARE other things about me. I’m [...]

The Geek’s Guide to Being a Newbie
As many of you know, recently my husband and I moved to Tucson, AZ. We’re lucky in that we have family here already, I’m close friends with my sister-in-law and their friends have embraced us like their own. I’m in a book club and a girl’s group, so it’s not exactly the “welcome to a [...]
5 Writer Resolutions
Most people make resolutions in January, welcoming the new year with thoughts of how they’d like to be/act/change/etc. And I make those, for sure. But I also like to check in throughout the year, setting smaller goals and re-evaluating where I stand on the goals I have made already. So here are five of my [...]
Staying Motivated in the Midst
Right now I have a problem. It’s a problem most writers face in the course of their careers. It’s a problem of motivation. Writing is sort of a tough profession. Yes, you get to do what you love and then people tell you they actually like it, which is very edifying. But it’s also exhausting, [...]

Don’t be a douche online, kids
So if you’ve followed my twitter or Facebook, you probably saw my update last week about a little customer service problem that was brought to the light by the amazing Penny-Arcade.com here and here. Basically, this douchebag who runs a company called Ocean Marketing that helped with distribution of a cool gaming controller, treated someone [...]
Silence!
Over the years, I’ve done a lot of interviews here and there around the interwebs and there’s a few questions that always seem to come up. Where do you get your ideas (magic)? How do you get published (lots of crying and wailing, mostly)? And one is do you write with music? I love music, [...]
