Back In The Game

*blows dust from old pages* It's been a long time since I've posted anything, and I apologize for that. Life has thrown more than a few curve balls. But I won't get into that. I wanted to share a little something, aside from the news that I will be reviving this blog and trying to update it regularly, from here on out. As many of you know, I took a huge hiatus from writing for a while (hence the prolonged silence on the blog). And, as some of you also know, I just recently started making time in my life for writing again. It's been hard, but man , did I miss it. How I even breathed without it for so long is a mystery, because now I feel like I will never be able to remove it from my life again. Not only have I been writing again, but I've been writing in a genre completely new to me. Unfortunately, HEMLOCK VEILS has not found another publishing home, and due to the market trends right now, it might not have another publisher for a long time. That being said,

Cover Reveal: THE WELL BELOW THE VALLEY!

It's been so long since I have blogged, I know. But what better way to get back into it than with a cover reveal for one of my favorite authors, Katherine Lampe ! Lampe writes some of the most beautiful prose and vivid descriptions, as well as compelling storylines, I have ever read. I have had the pleasure of devouring her novels from earlier in the Caitlin Ross series, like The Parting Glass and The Unquiet Grave , and I'm very anxious to continue on Caitlin and Timber's journey. I am just so in love with these characters, and so glad they picked Lampe to be their voice. No one could write them better... Which means I'm thrilled to be able to reveal yet another gorgeous  representation of her series, by artist Matt Davis ( @GreyDevil13 on Twitter , rockandhillstudio@gmail.com). With that, I give you the beautiful cover for the newest installment in Katherine Lampe's Caitlin Ross series, THE WELL BELOW THE VALLEY, which will be available August 2 (see below th

Bidding My Publisher Farewell

I suppose this announcement is past-due. I've been waiting for it to be official, on the off-chance I would step on toes or something, but I can officially announce--now that I have signed the agreement--my contract with Swoon Romance (GMMG--Georgia McBride Media Group) has ended and we have gone our separate ways. This means that HEMLOCK VEILS is no longer on the market (though I see it is still being sold on Amazon--I guess I should check on that), because it's no longer published. I currently have no published works...and I suppose that makes me not a published author anymore. I have so many mixed feelings about it. I am over the devastation, mostly, since this was decided months ago and it's had time to sink in and marinade. What I can say is that it's definitely the best choice, for both GMMG and me. I want to make it clear that we did not part on ill terms. I still love that team, and they still praise my writing. It was just a matter of different styles, and

“I’m sorry. Headaches aren't fun, are they?”

…My response? "YOU REALLY THINK I WOULD BE LETTING A “HEADACHE” KILL 9 DAYS OF MY LIFE, INCLUDING WORK AND TIME WITH MY KIDS??" *** DISCLAIMER (and I don't just say this because the post is long): There are lots of curses and capitalized words. Continue at your own risk. *** Some of you have asked how I am doing, and in an attempt to not use my eyes and brain too much, I haven’t answered. I'm sorry if that has worried or offended people. I'm just doing what I can do. So I figured I’d type this up, send it out collectively, and I won’t have to answer over and over again (with the exception that I miraculously get better and actually CAN type individual responses. In which case, I would gladly do so.) WARNING : some of you (if not most) will find this offensive. If you’re one of those people, then stop reading and don’t blame me for writing something that offends you. Because, truthfully and to the core, I don’t care. I can’t anymore. I don’t have the capaci
