I’m terrible with titles. I can come up with a story easily enough, but I can never think of what to call it. The WIPs on my hard drive have names like The Italian Holiday, The Free State, Berlin Underground… Sounds great, if I was writing travel guides. But I write steamy, fast-paced romances about […]

OVERWHELMED BY THE INDIE AUTHOR BUSINESS?—YOU’RE NOT ALONE
I’m currently trying to wrap my head around the mystery called a newsletter. On top of the other things occupying space in my head, it kind of leaves me feeling like this: Do you ever feel like you’re buried under the pile? I know I do. In 2015 when I decided to start […]
BETA READERS – WHERE HOW WHY
My WIP is currently in the hands of some new betas, so I wanted to take a moment to talk about where to find beta readers and why they are awesome. WHY USE BETA READERS Writers tend to turn blind to their own text. This is nothing to be ashamed of; it’s […]
BAD MOVIE SUNDAY: STRANDED (2013)
I love movies and sometimes it’s fun to watch something completely random without knowing what it’s about. We had this Canadian scifi horror lying around, so hubby and I made it our Sunday evening entertainment. I’d never heard of Stranded before, but I’m eager to watch small-budget scifi for its originality. I’ve come across some […]

3 TIPS TO MAKE EDITING EASIER
I used to think that writing was 90% first draft and 10% editing—after the grueling experience of writing my first book, I now know it’s rather the other way around. Editing is still prone to give me a headache, a self-pitying crying fit, and make me binge-eat all the licorice in the household, but it’s […]
WHAT ARE YOUR WRITING PHASES?
I have this nifty plugin on my site called MyBookProgress. Basically it’s just a progress bar you see there on the right, but it lets me customize my own writing phases. It’s not just about hitting a certain word count and off you go – at least in my system reaching the goal length has […]
