Isle of Skye

The Skye Trilogy-Uncovered

I have recently been reformatting all of my books on Kindle Create. This has also prompted me to go over my books once more and in doing so, I have been somewhat transported down memory lane. I thought it would be fun and insightful to detail to you, my amazing readers, how my work has…

Editing, Formatting, and Random Thoughts.

I made a vow to update my blog more regularly and I am determined to do so! I have been editing and reformatting Isle of Sky, book one, all week. It still, even after being professionally edited (HA! That’s a story for another day) needs tweaking. I am finally on the process of reformatting,…

Extra! Extra!

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…

Isle of Skye Part One: Creation

Several people have asked me how I came up with this story idea and I tell them that this was simply a story I thought needed to be told. I was sick and tired of reading the same old, same old. I do believe there has been some excellent books in the past few years…
