This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things (Book Piracy Sucks)

Earlier today a reader contacted me to let me know a bunch of my books were listed on a pirate site. Not just any, run-of-the-mill pirate site with viruses and shady business practices. No, I am not so lucky. This pirate site is one that’s apparently being heavily promoted on…

Story Time (And Then We Go To Arts And Crafts)

I needed a way to save my pins! In January 2020 I found the perfect, most beautiful, most wonderful cloud-shaped ita bag on a Kickstarter and I backed it in a heartbeat. And then COVID hit… factories closed. The production kept getting pushed back and as people got vaccinated and…

Writer Craft Wednesday: WAYS TO SHOW A CHARACTERS PERSONALITY

A Short Note About Growing Up

CHANGE OF MOMENTUM… imagine your OTP!

To celebrate CHANGE OF MOMENTUM being out I thought it would be fun to do answer some OTP (one true pair) questions about everyone’s favorite couple in the Malik System. Eats the last slice of pizza and is playfully ignored by the other until they apologize? — If either of…

Trying Something New

Tomorrow I’m doing something new. I’m taking a script writing class. It’s a brand new creative ocean to go swimming in, and I feel like a very tiny guppy who isn’t going to be able to complete with the lovely fish in California who have years of experience talking about…
