Hey everyone. I’m working on a new book.

I'm working on my new book. I have a new novel in the works but I thought it might be a ton of fun to revisit an idea I had for a book of short stories based on common every day fears. So, that's what I'm working on :)

https://a.co/d/7maCw6D Guys!!!!!!

Woods and Wild Things Officer Grayson is investigating a death in the woodlands of Washington. A dead woman at the bottom of a cliff, pretty open and shut, until she starts talking. Will he be able to solve her case with her help?

Claws and Teeth should be available on amazon.com in a few days in paperback and on Kindle! I'll let you all know as soon as it's live on Amazon.com :) Now to start editing this year's nanowrimo novel, and then I get to start something new :) Stay tuned

I'm working on the rewrite of claws and teeth and man, one of my characters gives me the ICK. I know that means that I did a good job with the villain but, Ick Devin, sort yourself out. smh. I'm glad I took time away from this book but I'm so excited for the people who read my work to get excited about this story.

Editing for 'Claws and Teeth' is going really well :) 'Woods and Wild Things' is next :) Keep a look out for my new books

Well guys, now I’m editing claws and teeth. I don’t know how long it will take but I’m hoping by January Claws and Teeth will be ready for publication. I’ll keep you all posted 🙂

Ahem…. An announcement 🙂

96% of my newest novel is written

Well I kept writing, I reworked the issue I was having and now I'm at 80% of the first draft my novel being complete!

I’m awake and I’m writing the last chapter and epilogue. I’m around 15,000 words from being to standard novel length. That’s okay. After I finish these last two scenes, I’m going to immediately start editing and see if the word count improves, if not then it’s okay. Either way I wrote a brand new novel, that I started planning the day before nanowrimo, and I’ve worked on it every day this month. I’m proud of myself.

My sweet husband ordered my stuff from Amazon this morning before he left for work. I didn’t ask, he just wanted to make sure to put this silly thing that is crazy important to me was the first thing he spent money on today. He didn’t even tell me. I just got an email so I needed to check and so I texted him to say thanks and he just goes “you’re welcome” as if he didn’t just trick me. Lol I thought we were waiting. Well I guess I’ll take a picture of my books when they get here 🙂

Woo I just hit 10,000 words on my new novel only 40,000 left to go. Pretty good for 6 days in!

Crimson Lust https://a.co/d/iBR1SGZ well my loves the book is out!

Crimson Lust Caught in a loveless marriage, Sonya is trying to do everything she can to make her abusive marriage work. At an office party she meets a man who shows her there can be beauty in pain. Through a series of moonlit encounters she learns he's more than a man, more than a monster, more than crimson.

I’m on track to hit 10,000 (currently 8069 lol- nice) words today. I feel super lost in the flow of this story, but it do be like that sometimes. I keep reminding myself I can fix it in editing lol

I wonder why it is that it’s when I’m writing that my brain wants to clean and watch tv and do anything other than writing lol

Today I’m editing my novel Crimson Lust and thinking about Nanowrimo this year
