In lieu of a TBR post this week, I thought I'd do a snippet. Mostly because I'm trying realllllly hard to not panick about my current work load. Two novels in my lap to edit at the same time. Looki...

It may have taken a little longer, but not only is there a chapter, but there are two cameos from characters I've missed from NTS. Wait, now that I think about it, there are four! I'll let you read...

I've mentioned before that I don't like reading Sad Things or books that make me cry. I mean, sometimes it's fine, but I don't want a sob fest. That's not why I'm here. That being said, there are s...

I used to have a really hard time DNFing books. I would skim to the end, or power through, wasting long hours on books that frankly weren't worth my time. I'm not like that anymore--I DNF with aban...

Me: I'm trying to pick something for the snippet today, and I wanted someone who was somewhat close to Will.
Hello my friends! I have an editor booked to look at Rough Around the Hedges in mid-March. Which is great! Except I wanted my draft to be done by now and it isn't. It's almost done...but not quite,...
