Hello, all! It’s taken over three years, but I have finally completely finished my collection STARTING OVER. Right now, reviewers are reading, and I have my fingers crossed that they’ll like it. Now, the waiting game is on. I plan on publishing it sometime in November, but that may change. The cover I’ve chosen is below.

I used the latest version of Calibre to create my own epub and mobi files, and I must admit, it was quite a learning curve. Modifying the MS Word document to work with Calibre took multiple attempts and a lot of hours. However, now that I was successful, it doesn’t seem so hard now. Maybe when I start to create my series of files, I’ll forget again. Creating a printed PDF document was just as challenging, but I gained practical experience.

Marketing will be the next task after the reviews.

I’ve been performing final edits on my 4-book series ‘An Unexpected Evil’. Last night, I began cursory searches for different covers for the series, and came up with a delightful idea of what I want on each cover. I’m jumping ahead because the stories haven’t been edited professionally yet.

Something surprised me today. I logged into writing.com and saw that someone left a review of one of my flash fiction stories from 2018 I forgot I wrote. When I read it, I know it can become something much, much bigger, and it also places me back inside the horror genre. I still need to finish the second mystery I’m working on before I start any new endeavors, but it’s nice to have a story in the chamber. Take care!

Hello all! Everything’s coming to a head now. I’m on the final editing step of my collection: listening to it. I’ve already found a cover and done some preliminary formatting. If you run the short movie on my main page, you’ll see that the last image is the cover I’ve chosen for the collection!

I’ve also modified my website. The current changes are only temporary. Once I publish my collection, I’ll design a new main page. All of this is taking up a lot of time. Before publishing, I’m going to send out ARCs to see if I can get a few reviews to help with marketing. I’ve never done it before, so it will me a fresh experience.

I’m still in the throes of my second mystery. It’s moving along at a much slower pace because I keep discovering ways to twist the story, but I like where it’s heading. I’m finding writing mysteries is as much fun as watching them. Take Care!

Welcome to my blog site. I’ve just built this so give me some time to get acquainted with setting it up.

First, and foremost, I will not be posting on the blog everyday. I just don’t have the time. However, I will be posting a few drabbles, flash fiction, and short stories from time to time. I’ll also let you know where I am on my projects. I’ll try to answer every question I can and will be available to assist any future writer with their endeavors.
