A lot of you know I've had my head in a book, either with editing or school, since last October, so I've missed a lot of your lives. A. Lot. And for that, I'm so sorry. I'm sorry I couldn't be there for you if you needed me. All you had to do was ask… Continue reading I’m Sorry

Sorry I’m Late!
Blimey! I just opened mine eyes, and lo! I have not updated this since you last visited... You would not believe how insane my life has become. Seriously! I am absolutely consumed with an awfully big adventure, being distracted by the shiny, the Doctor, and just generally being a pain to every man and his… Continue reading Sorry I’m Late!
Formatting 101
Formatting is very simple, but if you're not familiar with MS Word, I'd suggest "playing around" with all its functions or taking a class to learn it better before you begin hacking your or someone else's book to pieces. I've been working with word processing programs for the better part of 20 years and most… Continue reading Formatting 101
Back in the Swing of Things?
I can't remember the last time I sat down and worked--actually worked--on a story. Over July 4th weekend, I went down to Tucson for a "writing retreat" to visit Kitty, but did I get any writing done? Nope. Plotting, yes; writing, no. On the bright side, I did some research and figured out the plot… Continue reading Back in the Swing of Things?
Book Reviews 101
Let's talk about book reviews for a moment, shall we? Grab some coffee. This is a long lesson. You picked up a book, you read it, you loved or hated it, and now you'd like to write a review on it for whatever reason you may have. Maybe you enjoy writing book reviews. Perhaps you're good… Continue reading Book Reviews 101

Raven McAllan’s IMPULSE
POST OF THE WEEK: Author Raven McAllan releases a steamy novella today and you really should buy it.
Reworking the Olde
One of the hardest things for an author to do is rework an old story, one that's been sitting on the shelf gathering dust for years. The reason this is difficult is because your writing has vastly improved over the years, and to go back and fix all of your mistakes takes not only an outsider's perspective on the story, which is difficult in itself, but also a sense of humility and courage. Even if you have an editor look at it, there's still so much wrong with it. So why bother? You bother with it because it's still a story you love, just as much as every one that flows from your fingertips, and you want to share that story.

It’s a Happy Christmas & Book Release Day!
Kylie O’Rourke has unwittingly walked into the path of two vampyres—one who wants to use her as a sacrifice, and one who only wishes to win her heart. As she is pulled into their clandestine world, she learns more about her history and the reason behind her horrible nightmares. Master vampyre Cianán searches for the one woman who could take his immortality to the next level—godhood. But, when he finds his Chosen One, his progeny Grantlund stumbles onto the Master’s plan . . . again. As if losing his first sacrifice to the bastard wasn’t enough, the Fates were to torment him with a second time.
