The War of Ivy Introspective Continues
Writing Ivy Introspective feels like something that will never happen. Which is exactly why I’m going to spend this next week making it happen. You see, writer’s block is a thing — but it’s a thing that we can fight. I might lose a battle or two, but I intend to win the war. 😛 […]
Mini Update on the Kees & Colliers Series {project announcements & series order shifts}

Why Authors Shouldn’t Mention Their Negative Reviews
I know people have discussed this before. However, this is such a big pet peeve with me that I want to talk about it—and it should be a big pet peeve with anyone who has ever read, written, bought, or sold a book. Reviews. Reviews are something authors want to have and readers can be […]
