Nutty Chitter from a Caffeinated Critter
If you’ve followed me for some time, you’ve probably seen me mention The Book Designer. Halfway through each month, Joel has a post about e-Book cover designs. I’m always looking for ways to improve, so I submitted Thanmir War for December’s collection. Joel will make comments just below each cover if he has them, and…
Among my goals for 2014 are blogging more often and improving my photography. Since I’ve read it’s best to keep topics light for the end of the week, I’ve decided to undertake Featured Photo Fridays! These will be images from my life (probably tweaked a bit with filters) that I’m particularly proud of. I kick…
Visit the main page on Alex Cavanaugh’s Blog. The term Author Platform twists my gut into a tangle. I know what it is, and I know what I’m supposed to do. But executing things like engaging people online is darn right difficult. A lot of the times, I read status updates or blog posts and…
Is it really here? A new year? Geez. Where did 2013 go? Time rushes past—a blur of memories. I think something happened this past year. Oh yes, quite a lot. I might have fried some brain circuits trying to remember it all. The big things are easy. I had a kid. I published a book….

Since then, I’ve faced an epidural headache, jaundice, cold & flu, a jealous 3-year-old, a speeding ticket, the birth of a niece, the death of a grandfather, meeting new friends, creating a business, costume making, scraping by on NaNo, and…
Today is a very special day. Today is Release Day. Thanmir War is live on Amazon. And the best part is, today, it’s free! You can find it on Goodreads. And Amazon has it available for purchase. It’s my deepest hope that you find the story enjoyable and entertaining that you’d want to tell your…
Forgive me if I do this wrong. I’m new. I’ve been stalking Melissa Maygrove for a while now, and I’ve seen her do this thing every month. And then I think to myself, ‘with as many times as I’ve freaked out over writing, I should really do that.’ So here I am. My biggest fear…
Today we have Aldrea Alien giving us a top ten. This top ten? Top Ten Mundane Animals in Fantasy (Loni) Take it away, Aldrea! Usually when someone says fantasy and animals in the same sentence, it brings to mind dragons and unicorns and griffons and the like. Fantastical creatures, while fun, are not always practical….
