Author Interview: Me Chatting about Endurance
Ha! Looks like I drafted this but never published it. So not “Last month” but actually in December, for I Heart SapphFic’s Reading Challenge week of Sci-Fi, I was interviewed about my novel Endurance. If you need a break from current events and would like to get away to another star system, check it out. […]
Revisiting Wishbone
Back in better days, mid-October, I got word that my novel Wishbone would be included in the I Heart SapphFic Reading Challenge for “Main Character in Uniform.” I was thrilled! I didn’t think about how I might feel this week. Knowing this was an election year, my emotions have ranged from hopeful optimism, to concern, […]
Tenacity Is Now Available
Just a quick update that Tenacity is now available for purchase at these outlets: Amazon Apple store Barnes & Noble Bedazzled Ink Kobo Vivlio Others will be updated as they go live. If you are in Massachusetts, look for it in your library’s network. Or request it. Bookstores, too, can carry it. Just ask! More […]
Tenacity Sneak Peek
Tenacity launches on June 4. You can preorder now on Amazon or, you know, wait and I’ll have links to other retailers like Bookshop.org, where, to be honest, I buy my print books that I can’t get locally. Tenacity is a sequel to Endurance. I’d like to think it stands alone, but just in case, […]
“I’m Somebody Now!”
I’ve been sitting on some news. I haven’t posted in a long time because I’ve been busy. You see, last fall I finished the sequel to Endurance. I sent it off to my publisher—you might have heard their squeals of joy. I signed the contract before they’d finished reading it, which made me very nervous. […]
Revision or Work in Progress II
Following up on my “Work in Progress” post, I got back the notes for my next book. The good news is that I did not want to cry. And I don’t have to drastically rethink the story. And I do feel overwhelmed. But I’ve already buckled in for the revision ride. Which promptly came to […]
Works in Progress
I’ve been MIA on the blogging front. Ironically because I’ve been busy promoting Endurance but also distracted by life as well as crunching out a draft of Book 2, which follows Endurance and is now safely out for critique. With that off my desk, I launched into Book 3, which is incredibly exciting. I love […]
In a Word: Endurance
I’m pretty bad at coming up with titles for my stories, but I love discovering the meaning of titles in other works so should use that as a lesson. One of my favorite books is A Constellation of Vital Phenomena by Anthony Marra. The title is a little off-putting. Long, weird. It’s about the aftermath […]
Opening Endurance
My wife once asked me what I like about writing. Depending on the day, like today as I struggle with a scene, I’d say not much. To describe writing as frustrating completely understates the feelings you have when you a) can’t think of what to write about, b) can’t remember that great idea you had […]
