Today was a little insane. At work day like every day. Sick and injured, running through ED like we have revolving doors and in the midst of this me. A misbegotten author who sucks in marketing counting the time to enrol our book in the new SPFBO. For those who don’t know what SPFBO is,Continue reading “Lunch break rush.”

When slow is too slow?
I like slow-burn romances with building tension between the characters. I like it when the situation doesn’t draw to an immediate conclusion, and insta-love is definitely not my thing. Still, sometimes slow is too slow, and the charm of building tension transforms into annoyance. I read a book recently from my usual relaxing niche, aContinue reading “When slow is too slow?”

Creative Differences
Yesterday Mark and I had a big shouting match about a scene. I can’t tell you much because there would be too many spoilers, but let me ask you a question. If you doing a sad, sweet goodbye, would you ever use a person’s full name? I wouldn’t, but Mar editing Summer Veil insists thatContinue reading “Creative Differences”
Two patients in a price of one – release week fog.
The release of Spring Blight is this Friday, and I admit I’m equally excited as tired about it. This and my endless week of covering the NHS doctors’ strike made my brain shut down to the point I doubted my sanity. On the last shift, I picked up the patient, let’s call her Dawn JohanasContinue reading “Two patients in a price of one – release week fog.”
To be indie – not as I imagined
When I thought of becoming a writer, I imagined spending hours writing a book and many more editing and polishing it until it matched my standards. What I didn’t foresee was how many collateral things I would have to learn. If you become a self-published power machine, you must do it all yourself until youContinue reading “To be indie – not as I imagined”
Sunday Snippet – Spring Blight
Slowly rising, the witch created a shield in her mind. The mirror spell Skarbnik taught her in the Grey mountains had already saved her life once before, and with her mind protected, Ina felt more confident about facing the malicious spirit in her own domain. ‘Leave her,’ The witch commanded, pulling out her sword. MamunaContinue reading “Sunday Snippet – Spring Blight”
Uncertaintly of Joy
KENP read in February Something worked, but I don’t know what, and it kills me. I’m not a successful author meaning I can’t solely sustain myself and my family from my writing work. Still selling the books and having a good trace of KENP read makes me more successful than about 95% of indie authors.Continue reading “Uncertaintly of Joy”
I am grounded
I’m writing to you from the confinement of my bedroom while my family have fun downstairs. I don’t know what I did wrong. Maybe I cook or clean too much? I’m not allowed down, so I’m sitting in bed, shrouded in my solitude. Even cats abandoned me, lured by the sound of an open can.Continue reading “I am grounded”
To me to you and a bit of paranoia
Last week wasn’t kind to us. First, I caught tonsillitis then Mark started coughing, and we passed the infections to each other, leaving us both feeling incredibly miserable. This, of course, affected our work and the release schedule so we are now so far behind I am worried we may not achieve the April releaseContinue reading “To me to you and a bit of paranoia”
