New Release: Have Yourself A Merry Little Witchmas! New Release: Have Yourself A Merry Little Witchmas! Merlina Sherbourne was ready to close her magical shop for the holidays—until a charming stranger appears at her door carrying a curse and a quiet kind of desperation. Camber Kincaid never meant…

Back in September, my editor at Riverdale Avenue Books told me about a novella anthology he was putting together for holiday themed paranormal romance. I said, "You know, _Have Yourself a Merry Little Witchmas_ is *right there*." (long pause....) 1/2

I've been busy. Did i miss the start of the traditional "It's December, therefore a writing organization must have a meltdown?"

Merry Everything and Happy Always I'm calling it -- this is my last blog post of 2025. I'm officially taking that break I mentioned last week, and I'm doing it right this time. So today is when I get to wish you a merry everything and happy always. I'm currently starting the wrap up of 2025.…

Stage Right "And so, having disposed of the monster, exit our hero through the front door, stage right...." If you're of a certain age, you might recognize that quote from the Bugs Bunny cartoon "Hair-raising Hare." Being of a certain age, I tend to trot this line out once I've accomplished…

Thirty! Ish. Thirty-ish. It used to be that when you finished writing an article, you marked it -30-. Thirty meant done. Complete. Finished. Yesterday, I hit Thirty on Have Yourself a Merry Little Witchmas. Ish. Thirty-ish. It came in WAY over my target words. I was told November 1st and 20,000…

Winding Down It's the end of October, and my brain is starting the process of winding down for the end of the year. Which is a little bit of a problem, because I am two (I think two) chapters from finishing Have Yourself a Merry Little Witchmas, and it's due in on Friday! No winding down! Must…

Valdosta State University, your English Department wants to have a word with your marketing team...

Jiggery-Pokery In the past week, I've put my entire upcoming schedule into a Pop-o-Matic, which has created great jiggery-pokery in my calendar. First and foremost, due to circumstances beyond my control, and which involve not owning a time machine and therefore not getting the books in time, my…

New Release! Lorcan is finally returning to Eire, his mates by his side. In order to reclaim his rightful inheritance, he must face his greatest challenge... His own family. Ravenflight. Book 3 of Blood of the Raven. books2read.com/u/bPOL9l #ravenflight #newrelease #newbook #romantasy

“I forgot to turn off the subtitles on my inside voice.” "I forgot to turn off the subtitles on my inside voice." The line that made me giggle for several minutes. I am enjoying this manuscript. These characters are wonderfully snarky, and I'm just having fun. Now, that's not to say that i don't…

Breathing Space. The three week run of shows is now over, and I have a little breathing space before my next outing. Time to rest, to resupply, and to get some writing done! And other writing work -- page proofs came in today for Ravenflight, and I need to turn these around quickly. I also need to…

Tonight, TheoReads is offering a discussion on newsletters and why they're important for writers. I'll be one of the speakers, and you can join us here: luma.com/dewvro5u

I couldn't decide which photo to use as my new headshot, so I have two headshots now.

Two Down, One to Go… Past Me was insane. That's all there is to it. To schedule three shows in three weeks? Bonkers. Two down, one to go. We got home from Necronomicon Tampa last night, and we have four days to reset before we reload the car for the Page and Pen Festival at the Oviedo Mall. In the…

Countdown to Smut Lovers. 3…2…1! It's Monday the 15th. Countdown to Smut Lovers. 3... 2... 1... I'm mostly ready. The books are packed. The scooter is ready to load. I got my hair trimmed today and I'm doing my color tomorrow (my hair will be purple when you see me at Smut Lovers.) I still have to…

The Only Constant is Change Have you heard the phrase "The only constant is change?" It's true, especially in publishing. Trends change, and you have to go with it. And that's why the entire Blood of the Raven series is getting new covers to celebrate the release of book three! Wait, what? Didn't…

Is This Thing On? Tap. Taptap. Is this thing on? I'm back. Did you miss me? Honestly, I know that the odds are good that most folks didn't notice I was taking time off. But here we are in September, and it's time for me to get back to work. Sort of. Because it took me much longer than I was…

I have all of my self-pub titles available for sale on Itch.io. Or at least, I did... Because of the actions of some VERY bad actors, Valve and Itch are in hot water with their credit card processors. In response, they've pulled down ALL queer and erotic content. (1/2)

*TAPS THE SIGN* also, below is a thread of action you can take, from petitions, to emails to phone numbers (with some scripts you can copy/adapt) as well as ways to support affected creators. do as many as you can. try to do them all. 🧵 1/12

Crunch Time! My original plan was for this to be my last blog post before my break started on July 1st. Instead, while this is still going to be my last blog post until September, it's crunch time that starts tomorrow. My break will start August 1st or whenever I finish writing The Coral Throne.…

If you've read The Sea Prince and are waiting on the second book, I'm about two-thirds done writing it, and hope to have the manuscript finished by the end of July. If you haven't read The Sea Prince, I'm about two-thirds of the way done with writing the sequel. books2read.com/u/brx00w

If It’s Not One Thing… If It's not one thing, it's two things. Or six. Usually, it's six. Last week? It was a doctor appointment every morning, then heading out to the writing retreat after, going right into the Renaissance Faire on Saturday. Which, I suppose, is my way of saying I'm tired today.…

We can make it a thing. It can happen! PRO CUOMO is a logical fallacy that dismisses the crime of sexual harassment. Pass it on.

QSFer Elizabeth Schechter has a new historical fantasy book out: The Sea Prince. Once, Tarjiaan was the sixth prince of war-tossed Meradon. His dreams were captaining his own ship with the man he loved ... www.queerscifi.com/new-release-... #Historical #Fantasy #Poly @easchechter.bsky.social

Live from Sunday Night! I'm off for a writing retreat tomorrow, so I'm coming to you live from Sunday night this week. I'm hoping to get some quality words written. I've pretty much admitted to myself that there's no way that I'll be getting 50K words written in 15 days. It's not happening. So…

Five star release day review!!! paranormalromanceguild.com/release-day-...

Tomorrow! Happy Book Birthday Eve! Tomorrow is the day! The Sea Prince releases tomorrow, at long last. My earliest notes on this novel are from 2009. So technically, The Sea Prince is older than Princes of Air. The concept, anyway. It's really kind of bizarre to think that, after so many false…

The Halfway Point. Sort Of. I've hit the halfway point of The Coral Throne... sort of. Why sort of? Because today I made the decision to increase my wordcount. I took it from 90K to 100K words, which means that my percentage complete dropped. However, I'm still hoping to have this book done this…

Starts today!!! Go pick up some books!

Guess who plain FORGOT that she had a promotion coming up? If you guess me, have a cookie. And a free book or two starting June 1st. mybookcave.com/g/passionate...

Sumer Is Icumen In Sumer is icumen in,Lhude sing cuccu!Groweþ sed and bloweþ medAnd springþ þe wde nu,Sing cuccu. If you're not familiar with old songs, Sumer Is Icumen In is the oldest recorded song. Some people may have been introduced to the song through the movie The Wicker Man, but it's far…

On Your Mark… On your mark... get set... GO! This is the point where I close the file for King of Swords and put those notes to the side so that I have a hope of finishing a manuscript before the end of June. I'll pick Teren's story back up once I finish The Coral Throne, or in September,…

What An Odd Thing to Say. I need to remember to start saying "What an odd thing to say." to people who come up to my table at events and proudly proclaim, "I don't read!" I mean, you have to admit that this is a very odd thing to say to someone selling books. Do they do that in Barnes and Noble,…

Lyrically, Past Self from Sleep Token reminds me of Black Swan from BTS.

I didn’t give a wit about new pope coverage, but the first American pope being a man with Black ancestry born in Chicago by way of New Orleans by way of Haiti. Names his self after the pope who condemned slavery? In the Trump era? Oh, baebae, I am HERE for it. www.wwltv.com/article/news...

Setting Sail! No, we're not going on another cruise. Not this year, anyway. The Sea Prince is setting sail on June 10th! I got the cover teaser for The Sea Prince on Friday morning. It's down a little bit, and I am loving this cover (another winning cover from GetCovers!). Full cover reveal and…
