When posting about my series, many people had questions. My recent books are M/Mx and M/M/X with the X standing for non-binary, and all of my characters learn that people don't have to be one thing or another. I decided to make this list for my queer series because even my alphas ask sometimes, and … Continue reading Educate Yourself – Queer Terms

The X Club
My current series, The X Club, takes it's name from the kink club the characters are members of. But more importantly, it alludes to the fact that each book has a non-binary/genderfluid character. My authorly brain likes when things have multiple meanings! For Real was released on December first, and I promoted my book on … Continue reading The X Club
Debut Romance Novel and Self-Publishing Woes
My debut romance novel, a male/male romantic suspense, was supposed to release tomorrow. But it released today instead! The final manuscript was due Monday, at 5 pm. Sadly I worked until 5pm, and didn't have the cover in time because I didn't think I would finish writing it in time for release. It's a viscous … Continue reading Debut Romance Novel and Self-Publishing Woes
What have you done lately?
The past year has been wild. The pandemic, the world-wide protests, the election, working from home. No one had a normal year. Whatever normal means. I went home sick Friday, March 13, 2020. It was allergies that caused an infection, but that was also the last day my school was open to students. By Monday, … Continue reading What have you done lately?

Writer’s Block
There are several types of Writer's Block. I've gone through all of them in the past year! Some last for a few hours that feel agonizing, while others last months or even years *shivers*. I'm going to discuss the ones I know about and how I got past them, or didn't! Number 1: No ideas … Continue reading Writer’s Block
My Writing Process
The idea of the #MyWritingProcess blog post is to get to know how other writers do what they do. I thoroughly enjoyed reading others', so I'm doing my own (if anyone cares or wants to do one too). I stole this from The Brazen Bibliophile and The Write Shadow. Both awesome bloggers and tweeters, so check them out! … Continue reading My Writing Process
Just Right for Writing
As soon as I started writing, I had to write more. It was in my blood. But I'm a busy person, so the question became when and where do I write? Do you have a local coffee shop or maybe even a home office to write in? When I hear writers (and readers), talking about … Continue reading Just Right for Writing
A Synopsis
Since last month I delved into what an excerpt is, and shared one from my own manuscript, I thought today I would get into the Synopsis! In general, a synopsis is a summary or outline of anything: play, movie, tv show, the accident you had last week... But I want discuss book synopses, and specifically, … Continue reading A Synopsis
