The title is something of a misnomer; I’ve been working on the After series for a few weeks now. With the deadline looming for AD, though, I thought I’d begin blogging about my revision adventures.
My revising process is pretty much the same, no matter what the novel is. I surround myself with research and motivational […]

I finished the current chapter of Mexican Heat I was writing. Someone pass the chocolate! That means I can start the next one and IT”S THE LAST CHAPTER! This story will finish a first draft at around 95,000 words. Editing will trim it down and Josh will make it bigger and better during his part. […]

So I’ve been working on a project lately, and having the best time writing this one. I’ve had the idea kicking around for ages and giving it free reign now.
The title? “A-Muse-Ing”.
The concept? An adult-drama writer, suffering from writer’s block, finds himself confronted by the physical manifestation of […]

In August my debut novel, Phoenix Rising, will be releasing from MLR Press and I’m totally thrilled! So for my post today I thought I’d share an excerpt and give you a peek at my cover which is the work of the fabulously talented Anne Cain. Enjoy!
Buy it at MLR Press soon

Nerd alert. That’s me. I can hide it and I’m not nearly as bad as I used to be, but I’m still a nerd.
Latest evidence is this software I’m about to buy: http://www.profantasy.com
Can you see the stars in my eyes? Can you feel how I’ve been bouncing for the last few days since I discovered […]

Well TEA is now with Sasha. YEA! Next week andre is taking off, so I’m not sure how much writing will get done, but I’m planning on starting a short cowboy story for an anthology. I think I have a plan of attack. I’m going to be plotting today at […]

9 a.m.: wake up. Feed the cat.
9:30 a.m.: have left overs from the night before as breakfast. Check e-mail.
10 a.m. : start writing.
10:20 a.m.: writing feels blah. Go answer e-mails and check friend’s journals. Ruminate on post in Romancing the Blog.
11 a.m.: oh crap, you haven’t written much! Go back to the wip.
12:22 […]

I know it sounds so much like whining but I’m going to do it anyway. Big surprise–Laura’s whining!
I have this deadline, just like everyone else on earth. And it means I need to write at least 3000 words a day for the next 7 days to hit it. Big deal for me. I hit 2000 […]

I stopped at Starbucks on the way home from work today to grab a decaf (THANKS for not letting me have extra caffeine, Mr. Cardiologist Guy! not…). And there was the C-U-T-E-S-T guy outside the store, selling toys and DVDs and stuff for the D.A.R.E. program. (Drug Awareness and Resistence Education. I think.) The money […]

Some of you may have noticed that my website is not so much a functional website. Stop me now before I launch into the whole Monty Python parrot routine. This would be because I poked at it, thinking to update, and I’ve no idea what I did but it went ker-plooey.
Thanks to a […]
