We survived the big move! I am now back to fully immersing myself not only in editing but also in promoting book one, ‘Isle of Skye’ again because I have a free book promotion coming up next week. No pressure or anything. I keep reminding myself that this is all worth it in the end….
Isle of Night Musings & Playlist
As many of you know, I am moving. Yes, the day has finally arrived and I will be off the grid for at least a week. I’m not sure how I will survive but I did want to talk about my new book, ‘Isle of Night’, one more time before I’m off to complete the…
Introducing Valerie Day Sanchez
A few weeks ago another author on Twitter reached out to me about guest blogging. We chatted for a bit and we both decided to interview one another. Over the course of several emails we also got to know each other a little and I was amazed about how much we had in common. We…
Isle of Night Blurb
I finally got the blurb done for ‘Isle of Night’. I wanted to put it up on Amazon but of course since I am just a lowly indie author I can’t do it yet without setting a price. Really Amazon? All I wanted to do was put up my book cover, release date and blurb…
Isle of Night Cover & Release Date
I am so excited to show everyone the cover for my new book! I’ve been slaving over it for awhile now and I finally got it exactly the way I want it to look. I am completely obsessed with this cover. At one point I had to walk away because I was overthinking it all…

-Only those who attempt the absurd can achieve the impossible Albert Einstein I’m not quite sure where to start. I feel as though my life has spun out of control lately. A month ago I was moving along with writing my second book ‘Isle of Night, today I am trying to fit in finishing the…
New Year Thoughts
Happy New Year! I feel like it has been forever since I last posted anything on my website. I can only blame the chaos of Christmas that has kept me away from the blogosphere. I was sitting here and thinking about the new year and the whole idea of resolutions. Honestly, I don’t believe in…
The Sex Scene
Why should I be ashamed to describe what nature was not ashamed to create?-Pietro Aretino When I started writing ‘Isle of Skye’ I made a conscience effort not to cave into the pressure of inserting erotica just because that was the new standard. I didn’t want my character Willa to jump into bed with someone…
Week in Review
This week has been full of surprises for me. My new book the ‘Isle of Skye’ is doing really well. I had this goal of, maybe, selling 100 books. I thought that this was pretty realistic thinking for a new, naïve, author. Not only did I sell 100 books this week, I’m now inching my…
