Update on my 2016 Goals

So here's an update of my 2016 writing goals.


  1. Write More
    I suppose you could say I've been good at keeping to this one. So I shall keep going!
  2. Publish More
    So the goal behind this was to publish more than I did last year. In 2015 I sold 13 stories. As it stands right now I've contracted 8 stories and it's only May! So I think I am right on track to crossing this one off the list!
  3. Write 52 Stories
    17 down, 35 more to go.
  4. Two Months = One Novel
    Yeah, let's just say this one hasn't been working out for me. But I have a fresh idea that might help me get a couple novels written this year.
  5. Two Months = One Novella
    I've written quite a few novelettes.  But I guess this hasn't been accomplished either.
  6. Publish 1 Story in Another Genre
    Success!! The contract has been signed.
  7. Publish My First Novel
    Haven't done this either...
  8. Review 20 Stories
    I've done at least one. I have just been so busy writing. Definitely need to start getting into the habit of reviewing a book as soon as I finish reading it.

New Opportunities, Renewed Determination

Thanks to one of my publishers, JMS Books (JM is totally awesome!), I have found my way to Coffee Time Romance & More. They have such great opportunities and I'm looking forward to exploring their website more. You should take a moment to check them out. Last month my brother took me ghost-hunting. Talk about a fantastic experience! We went for the VIP trip; which might have made it even better. While there I had the fortune to meet the acquaintance of a man who may be a big help in regards to my writing. Definitely excited about that! Also, if you've never gone ghost hunting, you definitely should! The Odyssey Paranormal Society is amazing, great hosts, and I will hopefully get the chance to investigate with them again in the future. We spent that weekend at Edinburgh Manor, a former asylum out in Iowa. Loved it, and yeah, it gave me a few ideas. Now I know that I've been gone a for a while, but I'm trying to get back into the groove of things. I'm also

Goodbye January, Hello February

How is that a month of 2017 has already gone by? When did that happen? It was an interesting 31 days that included going to the movies, getting sick, arguing with my boss (I'm sure she hates my guts, whatever), and lots of writing. Unfortunately, there wasn't much in the way of snow. This girl is still waiting for her first blizzard. Of course, the highlight of the month was my interview with USA Today's Happily Ever After blog. Yay! And then I got some tweets and mentions by Sinfully Gay Romance Reviews; which was equally as awesome. Here's to hoping that both of them help out my sales and in building my name. So how did January go for me? (I'm going to try a new set-up here...) January's Writing in Review The month didn't start off with much promise. I was sick and that put me behind, plus a lifestyle change left me fairly tired. That left me scrambling the last two weeks or so to get my work done by deadlines. But I learned I was up to the task if I

Kisses, Holidays and Stories to Be

As you can see I've changed the header to promote my newest story. 😁 Consider me ever so pleased to inform you of the soon-to-be available A Christmas Kiss, the first in the Sugarbush Series  to be published by Totally Bound. Yes, you read that right. Series! I'm so excited. It'll be composed of 6 novellas that follow Clara and Asher and the townies of Sugarbush. Make sure to get your copy of A Christmas Kiss  when it comes out. You don't want to miss the beginning of this lovely series. On that same front, A Gargoyle Christmas will be out before too long and it wraps up the quartet of novellas featuring Io and Cinder. The publisher will be compiling all 4 stories into a paperback to be titled Blackstone Manor ; which you can get in print. How exciting is that?? I can't wait to get my author copies. Make sure you get this!! Also, from the same publisher I have a lovely holiday story coming out titled Love Speaks . Go buy that one, too. I'll make sure to post
