I’m going to beContinue reading “Countdown to The Last Beginning: 5 days to go! – A SCENE FROM START TO FINISH”

Alice and I have both been using social media since we were kids. However, since we’ve become authors, we’ve noticed a difference between our placeContinue reading “Creator versus Fandom – Authors on Social Media”

I don’t think I’d do a vlog like Alice (she’s is a lot better at that stuff than me) but I do giveContinue reading “My …. writing process. Whatever that means.”
