The Not-So-Accidental Blog Tourist Hop
Hey look, I plastered my face to the top of this post! A while back, Carrie Butler tagged me in this Not-So-Accidental Blog Tourist hop. I wasn’t sure if I was going to participate, because it’s a lot like the one I did for Chrys Fey, and I wasn’t sure who to tag. But since…
30 Chapter Title Ideas

My friends came up with a fun little writing challenge last night. Open your entire music library, hit shuffle, and then play on random….
38 Seconds
I’ve asked myself What makes an effective book trailer? What attracts me? The answer to the latter is kinetic typography.

Paying It Forward Blog Hop
I mentioned in my last post that Chrys Fey, author of Hurricane Crimes, tagged me in the Paying it Forward blog hop. Thank you, Chrys! This blog hop consists of four questions: What am I working on? How does my work differ from others of its genre? Why do I write what I write? How…
Not A Romance – WIP No. 2 – This World Bites
Chrys Fey, author of Hurricane Crimes, tagged me in the Pay It Forward blog hop. It was after I’d already drafted this post that I realized the four questions could’ve been integrated. Unfortunately, I haven’t picked my three people yet. As a result, you’ll see more on that at a later date. Last week, I…
