20BooksVegas is really happening!

Even as I’m typing this I almost can’t believe it. I’m really about to fly out for 20BooksVegas y’all! And I’ll have a booth at RAVE! With this being my first in-person author event in YEARS, I am a little nervous. I mean, yeah, I know way more than I did in 2017 when I was a baby author, but STILL. We had a whole flippin’ pandemic! And I still am not as social as I feel I should be for this…

Cupid's Kiss is LIVE!

I just love when a good anthology comes together!

Excuse me, as I will be celebrating Valentine’s Day all year long from now on. No, I haven’t done anything crazy (e.g. a trip to a chapel in Vegas). But I have taken part in and published a Valentine’s Day anthology with Penning Valley called Cupid’s Kiss. And now you all can enjoy Valentine’s Day whenever you want too – with six spicy romance stories! It’s been hella nice reading the reviews…

Boozy Book Tour Update!

First things first – let’s all welcome Summer! Now, about that update. I’ll keep it short and say that I will not be able to attend the Boozy Book Tour in Chicago this week like I’d planned. I tried y’all, but a work thing came up and I had to take care of that before my new schedule starts. Anyhoo, The Boozy Book Tour is kicking things off in style, as all of their VIP tickets are officially…

Holiday Bliss is only a book away!

Hello December! I think this is the first time in a long time that I’ve found myself looking forward to this month. And with good reason! Well, really I have several good reasons, but we’ll start with the reason behind this post. I was able to take part in Penning Valley’s first-ever Christmas anthology! Still a little shocked that I was able to pull off being a featured author in two…

My End-of-Year Checklist

This post may seem early but it really isn’t, since I will be taking the last few weeks of December off to rest. I strongly suggest you all start looking over your schedules and select some time to do the same (if at all possible). Now, on to my end-of-the year post. Admittedly, this is uncharted waters for me in a way, because I’ll be attempting something new things when it comes to my…

20BooksVegas Recap (Part One)

Now that everything has come to an end, I felt the need to review my last 20BooksVegas experience with everyone. With there being so much to unpack mentally, I thought why not break it up into several blogs? I mean, why else have a blog, if not to reflect the cool things that have gone down in my life? This was my third year at 20Books, but my first year participating in RAVE. And besides my…

United Airlines - Do Better

20BooksVegas is coming to a close this year, but all I can still think about it the fright flight that I had getting to Vegas – courtesy of United Airlines. Let’s start with the photo that I’ve shared on my socials: I wouldn’t say I’m a jetsetter, though I am not new to flying. Honestly, I enjoy it – when traveling overseas. Over the years, I have come to expect next to nothing when it comes…

Time to try something New

And by ‘new’, I mean a new-to-me genre. Yeah, you guessed it – I’m working on a Supernatural Novella! Well, it started off as a novella, but after a round of editing I’ve finally accepted that this story could very well become a novel. This story took a year to get to where it is now and I am happy to say that even though it won’t be ready in time for Halloween (like I’d hoped), it won’t take…

So if you are into reading horror and creepy crawlies – you’re going to love today’s blog! The Darkest of Dreams (Volume One) anthology explores the mysterious, disturbing,…

Step into Spring with a ReTREAT!

Now, I know the title to this blog is a tad bit long, but it either this or ‘Let’s Get Virtual’. Anywho, let’s get into this post! This March, The Author Transformation Alliance will be holding its annual Virtual Spring Writer’s Retreat, and I wanted to share the news with y’all. Myself and several other wonderful instructors will be presenting classes all designed to help authors along their…

BTO Conference Recap!

Hello Spring! I got to kick off the Spring season in Maryland. Chesapeake, to be exact. Months ago I applied to be a presenter/speaker for the Bay to Ocean Conference and was accepted! What did my class cover? Here’s a lovely restroom selfie of me before attending a class. As a speaker, I was able to enjoy the conference by attending classes and had a nice college lunch too! Before speaking,…

My Gift to all of you...

Again, don't Bah Humbug me - you all know reading is the gift that keeps on giving.

You may find that title a little cheesy, but it was almost ‘Let’s Smash again’. Just wanted to let you know, so don’t judge, lol Now, on with the good tidings! I have a few ‘gifts’ for you all to bring the year to a close. The first is a whole 25% off my collections of works for the Smashwords End of the Year Sale – yea!

How was 20BooksVegas...Again?

How was 20BooksVegas…Again?

Whew! In a word, Vegas was incredible! There wasn’t any Martinelli’s to be had, so this awesome gif will have to do. I was more prepared for what to expect when it comes to the 20BooksVegas schedule. Still not prepared financially. Which sucks, but I have (another) plan. It’s time for me to get in front of the bull when it comes to paying for my conference ticket, flight, and hotel. No more…

20BooksVegas - I'm BACK!

20BooksVegas – I’m BACK!

Well look who somehow made a trip to Sin City work this year for 20BooksVegas. You know what they say – always bet on BLACK! Having good friends that will put you up in their hotel room definitely helps too 😉 Right now I’m on my way to the hotel, hoping that there will be a shuttle that takes me directly there. Because I am tired and so ready to shower and call it a night. But before I do…
