I recently mentioned how easy it was to use Scrivener to create the ebook files for The Demon You Know, and several folks asked me to go into more detail. I am nothing if not cooperative 🙂 So here, for your viewing pleasure, is a video I made of how to set up Scrivener to […]

Tattoos and flaws and anorexia, oh my!
I’m thinking about flaws today. It’s one of the things that I’m having fun with as I go back and look at some of my backlist books. I’m not revising heavily, but it’s fun to be able to fix a few of the flaws that maybe made it through the copyediting/galley process. But what about […]
Raising kids or fighting demons…how do you choose?
I’m so excited to be blogging at Jane Myers Perrine’s cyber-home today, especially when she posed the question of choosing between being a soccer mom or a Demon Hunter. Because, really, what mom hasn’t had to make that choice? Why just this morning, I had to choose between getting my kids to school on time […]
Short or long, stories pack powerful punches
Today, I’m blogging over at the Whine Sisters, and I posted a link to Porcelain Unicorn, a truly lovely short film. And I mean short. Just three minutes. Pop on over and check it out if you want to see a truly powerful punch packed into just three short minutes. Compare that to something like […]
Hanging in Barnes & Noble
Hanging out in Barnes & Noble (trying to avoid buying every single one of the cool bargain books…I have such an addiction!).
I'm a publisher! THE DEMON YOU KNOW is up at Amazon!
Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than electrons on speed…it’s digital publishing! All kidding aside, I had no idea that the short story I posted yesterday would go up so quickly! But I’m so very glad it did. So here’s what I learned since my last post: 1) Amazon processes its content fast. Best […]
What's your punishment workout of choice?
I’m over at the Whine Sisters today whining about how much I don’t like working out … but also about how I’ve found a workout that, yes, works for me. Tabata sprints! Read all about it here. Do you do Tabata’s? What’s your favorite workout?
Short Stories … Gotta love 'em!
I confess that I wasn’t always a fan of the short story; once I got to know characters I wanted to spend TIME with them. But with age brings wisdom (not that I’m old enough to be that wise) and I’ve developed a love for the shorter format. And I’m so psyched to be part […]
Adventures in eBooking
Well, folks, my ebook journey kicked into high gear yesterday (can you say “formatting”) and although I’m hardly the first to blog about it, I also probably won’t be the last. So why am I going where so many have already gone before? A couple of reasons. One, I think the digital revolution is fascinating […]
Wherein I gripe about being underwhelmed by what's "coming soon" to a theater near me…
“Sadly, there aren’t that many movies hitting the screen that I’m excited about anymore. I’m not sure if it’s the state of Hollywood or the fact that I’m not 21 anymore (though just barely past that, of course). But I’ve been to a couple recently, and that means I’ve seen trailers. And most of the […]
