    Lately I’ve been working on my “apocalypse story,” which I had started on my computer.  But being on my computer leads me to get sucked into things like Facebook and Spider Solitaire and watching movies or TV shows on Hulu while I write, which leads me to NOT write… so I decided to work on…

  • website geekery

    I added some pretty cool headers to the Wolven and Abandoned pages featuring elements from the cover art I created (similar to the current header, which features elements from the Seven Minutes to Midnight cover art).  I figured that each novel should have its own extraspecial header.  No need to play favorites with my newest…

  • Wolven cover

Of course, my new computer does…

  • new cover art

    Created a cover for The Abandoned today! Check it out on the The Abandoned page. I am promising myself that by the end of the summer I will have a completed draft! Meanwhile, I am also working on The Blood Countess / The Iron Maiden… I’d love to have a first draft of this by…
