Happy New Year

Happy New Year, everyone! I know New Year’s posts typically are about looking forward, making resolutions and generally putting a positive spin on the upcoming year. Since I don’t want to disappoint you, I will not be deviating (much) from that recipe. 😀 What’s coming? I have talked about this a couple times in the past months but I have a plan to write three books in 2024. Jack Kane book 3 The first is book 3 of the Jack Kane series, written by JR Murdock and me. JR writes the hero side of the story (Jack Kane) and I write the villain (Felonious Fenduke Filcher the Fourth – try saying that three times fast). This is a steampunk series […]

Reconnected

After a hiatus, JR Murdock and I have reconnected. You might remember me talking about wanting to work on the third Jack Kane book. I am here to tell you that we are both on board with getting that book written. Our goal is to have a viable book by June.

Both of us have had a few setbacks over the past couple years. Not an identical journey by any means but one that seemed to have a similar trajectory. It is good to reconnect. We […]

Fortunately, I think the problem is mostly aching muscles but it has still been a challenge to walk, sleep, etc. I’m also taking a remote study course. There are 11 of us in the class plus our professor. It has been interesting but strange to be doing school again. Homework and reading every night. Today’s […]

Happy Friday

Happy Friday! NaNoWriMo is over. For me, it was a huge success. I was able to hit the 50,000 words in 30 days AND I was able to finish my Mik Murdoch, book 5, first draft. More importantly, I feel like my joy for writing has been rekindled. I already am planning to write 3 new books in 2024 (not least of which is Jack Kane 3 with my writing partner, JR Murdock). I feel like it should be 5 books next year, but I don’t want to set myself up for failure. The weekend is here The weekend is always something I look forward to. Not because I sleep in or take time to do nothing. If anything, I’m […]
