Sad news :(

Book news August 25, 2020

I’m going to have to take Hybrid off pre-order.

I had hoped that pushing the publication date back a month would give me the space to finish it, but my mojo is just lacking right now, with the quarantine, pandemic, and the ridiculous tree stuff. I’m so upset and disappointed, but I have to recognize that I’m completely stressing myself out over this. The stress is having at least two results:

It’s causing all the things stress often causes: trouble sleeping, trouble focusing, higher levels of anxiety, etc.
The pressure it’s putting on me (that I’m putting on myself, in truth) is causing the creativity to stall and I’m not getting any quality fiction on paper.

So that led me to come to the difficult decision that I have to pause Hybrid for a little while and let myself breathe.

The new plan is to step away from it for one to two weeks (more, if I have to) and work on other things. I have a manuscript a publisher is interested in that needs a quick revision before I send it over. And I want to get some planning done for the Tea Leaves series, which I’m going to be doing for next year.

I’ll be pulling the pre-order later today. I’m sorry for those who are disappointed by this. I’m completely disappointed too 🙁

I’ll update when I’m able to work out a new pub date.

New Release: Blue-Edged Soul! Be sure to grab your copy!

Book news January 14, 2019

It’s here! It’s here!

Blue-Edged Soul is here!

Look at that cover! Isn’t it gorgeous? My cover artist is Sylvia Frost at The Book Brander. And she is amazing! If you’re in the market for a fantastic cover, definitely give her a look!

I was just going to make this a cover reveal, but Amazon published Blue-Edged Soul faster than I expected, so I decided just to go ahead and announce it a day early!

Blue-Edged Soul is a short-story follow up to Jivaja. There are a couple cool reveals in it. One has a big effect on Soul Cavern Book 2 and the other one opens the series up for more books after this initial trilogy. You’ll definitely want to read it if you liked Jivaja. And you definitely don’t want to read it until you’ve read Jivaja. It won’t make very much sense on its own 😉

Blue-Edged Soul tells the story of Ken, David’s brother. In Jivaja, David asks Ken to go to London to protect Carolyn and Jenny Barron. This is the story of what he finds there. In the timeline, it runs concurrently with the climax scene of Jivaja.

Now, there are two ways to get Blue-Edged Soul:

1. If you want to support me on Amazon, you can purchase it for .99

2. You can get a FREE copy in exchange for signing up to my Reader Group (then you become a Reader Groupie 😀 lol )

Either way is fine with me. And please, whether you purchase or get it for free, don’t forget to leave a review! Reviews help authors more than you know.

I hope you enjoy Blue-Edged Soul!

Look for Book 2 of the Soul Cavern Series in April!

Official Jivaja Release! Get Your Copy Now!

Book news, Writing October 15, 2018

Today is the big day! Jivaja is officially launched! Woooo!!

So you can find links to Amazon and B&N, as well as Goodreads on my website page for Jivaja. Oh, and as a note, I enrolled Jivaja in Kindle Unlimited, so if you’re a bit short on cash right now, but subscribe, please feel free to borrow from KU!

This has been a weird book publishing experience, because I wanted to have some advance copies available for Dragon Con (because a million people go there). But that meant I had to upload it to Amazon early, to get copies (because you can’t order copies without it being live), so it’s actually been up there for awhile. But having copies out that early just made the entire experience weird!

But anyway…

Marketing is not my forte anyway and so I’m sort of flying by the seat of my pants! lol I’ve got a few random things going on this week.

There will be an interview out at Speculative Chic this afternoon at 4pm. If you click the link and get a 404, check the time. It’s probably not 4 yet 🙂

I’ll be doing an Ask Me Anything FB Live on my Author Page on Wednesday around 8pm EDT. So feel free to come over, pop in, and ask me all the burning questions you have about Jivaja or writing or when I’m going to have the sequel done!

I’m sure I’ll do other things this week, but those are the big ones. I’ll also be spamming your feeds all over social media, so there’s that too! Keep an eye out on Facebook and Twitter for other happenings!
