No Return…and Why I Decided to Repackage It
Before I go any further, No Return is free on February 4th, 2012. Go forth and download. Okay, now that we have that out of the way, I thought I’d talk a little bit about the book and why it’s now a part of my catalogue, as it had actually been out and about on Lulu, Amazon, and Barnes and Noble for some time before that. When I wrote No Return, I had just come out of a major writing slump. Huge. We’re talking almost seven years where I hardly did any writing. Yes, you read...
Read MoreHeart of Gold Is Now Available!
I am so happy to announce that my latest full-length novel, Heart of Gold, has now been released! This was my 2009 NaNoWriMo project (okay, some books take me longer than others to finish!), a steampunk/gaslight fantasy romance that was so much fun, I’m already working on the sequel! (All right, more of a tie-in than a sequel, because I firmly believe that all my books should stand on their own, although some are interconnected through various characters or through the world itself.)...

Read MoreBreath of Life Now on iBooks…Finally!
After waiting almost two weeks for hate mail from Apple telling me that I don’t know how to format an .epub file, I just found out today that Breath of Life is now available in the iBooks store (and through iTunes). I can’t really provide a link, since you can only find it by searching within the app, but I swear it’s there. Of course, it would have been nice to have Apple inform me that it had been accepted (Amazon KDP always sends an email once a book is live on the...
Read MoreWhy My Love for Scrivener Is Neverending…
I think I’ve commented a time or two about how much I love Scrivener, and how much it’s helped me as a writer. I can keep better track of my files, and it’s lovely to have all the chapters and all the research for a particular project all in one neat little package so I don’t have to hunt all over my hard drive for the pertinent information. What I just discovered, however, is that Scrivener 2.0 has this unbelievably helpful feature where you can compile a project...
Read MoreScratching My Head Over Smashwords
So it’s been almost two weeks since my month of freebies over at Smashwords ended, and first off, let me just say wow! over how many free copies of my stories have been downloaded. In the past I’ve sort of brushed off Smashwords, mostly because I really dislike the fact that they won’t let you submit an .epub file to upload books, but instead have to use a Word document and their clunky meatgrinder. However, since almost everything I uploaded was a short story, the formatting...
