2022 Goals

By 1 Comment

There’s soooo much I want to do in 2022!

I’ve got a couple of doozies like publishing 6 or 7 books and buying a house.

I also have some easier fun ones like, starting each day with a positive quotation, reading a poem-a-day (thanks to the Poetry Foundation for sending those), trying 22 new-to-me soup recipes, participating in a photo challenge, and creating a blackout poem daily.

Blackout poetry consists of taking a text (I use pages from a book that was falling apart) blacking out a bunch of it and what’s left is your “poem”. For me it’s a no-pressure way to jumpstart creativity. Here’s the first I did this year:

And the first soup I made this year was this carrot-ginger-coconut milk concoction. It was….okay (then again, I don’t love carrots).

The first quote I read this year was from Ralph Waldo Emerson: Do not go where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

I’ll try to remember to check in regularly with updates on the trail I’m blazing through 2022.

Chaos and Adventure! Love and Laughter!

Follow Ravena and her friends as they try to right the world of wrongs, one magical moment at a time.

Big changes for the Cursed Chicks

Good news if you’re a Kindle Unlimited subscriber!

LEARN MORE!

Sadly, the Cursed Chicks Club books have not found much of an audience.

Since I LOVE Ravena and the gang and I want their story to continue, I’ve decided to enroll the books in Kindle Unlimited.  That means that starting next month, they will be available there exclusively. If you haven’t gotten your copies yet, and aren’t a KU subscriber, make sure to get them before October 31st.

Coffee, People, Books

By Leave a Comment

I write a lot of books.

I also drink a lot of coffee, as evidenced by the fact I’ve received this shirt, not once, but twice since March.

(For the record, I like more than three people…but I won’t give an actual number.)

Right now I’m drinking my coffee and playing the part of a hermit because I’m completing the edits for Something Old, Something New which is coming out next month AND I’m finishing writing Cursed Chicks 4 which should be a July release. (I haven’t finished the book’s blurb yet, so it’s not up for preorder yet.)

AVAILABLE FOR PREORDER

How’d I forget this?

Can’t believe I forgot about this as part of yesterday’s progress report on the year so far.

I’ve got new covers for the Cursed Chicks series! Aren’t they pretty? (I also changed the title of the first book. One Flew Over the Raven’s Nest is now Once Cursed, Twice Shy.)

Best laid plans — Day 6 of 100 Days of Effort

By Leave a Comment

Anyone else start off with the best of intentions and then face-plant?

Do not adjust your screens, I failed to report in on days 4 and 5 of my effort. I’m still fighting a funk that’s made writing a challenge to say the least. I haven’t even looked at my word count for fear it will depress me.

But, I did take some cool photographs. (Yes, I know, nothing to do with writing but still a creative outlet.)

While I didn’t get much writing done, I DID complete the copy edits for 3 Times a Charm

Family Reunions Can Be Magic…Or Murder

Ravena Valentina used to hate magic.

Not anymore. Now she uses it to protect Richie, a boy coming into his own magical powers. 

She does still hate the curse binding her to the spirit of her witchy former mother-in-law. Ravena’s searching for the perfect love song to break that, while navigating her complicated relationship with the hot magician, Sol.

But Richie’s enemies are relentless. 

Even with the help of a loyal wizard’s assistant, a sexy dragon, a wise Element and a talking goldfish, protecting the kid can be deadly. 

And things only get worse when his long-lost father shows up.

Release Day – 2 Spells!

It’s here!

2 Spells Too Many the second book of the Cursed Chicks Club series is out!

Sometimes you’ve got to kiss a frog….literally.
To rid herself of being haunted by her witchy mother-in-law for eternity, Ravena Valentina is on another magical quest.
Accompanied by Sol, a secretive, magically deficient (but hot) magician, Marco, a former wizard’s assistant, and Richie, a young boy coming into his powers, Ravena must figure out how to catch and kiss the cursed frog, free a talking goldfish, outsmart merciless treasure hunters, and save the kid’s dying mom.

 And, as if she didn’t already have enough problems, there’s a fire-breathing dragon lurking in the shadows.

Productively Obsessed

By Leave a Comment

Here’s the thing:

I love what I do. I worked hard to get to the point where I can do what I love. I’m still working hard at it.

On the 31st I’ll be publishing my sixth book of the year 2 Spells Too Many.

I’ve just sent the third Cursed Chicks book to my editor.

Soon I’ll begin working on Hitwoman 25.

I’m also working on a passion project and have notes for Psychic Consignment 4.

This kind of schedule is not for everyone. I choose to be productively obsessed. I’m lacking balance. I don’t particularly recommend it, lol.
