A Look Back at the Last Year

My 29th birthday isn’t until next Saturday, but I think it’s close enough that I can get away with this post. I have to admit there were times in my teen years that I never thought I’d reach 20, let alone 29, but yet here I am, still going strong, so I look forward to […]



It’s Update Time!

*whispers* For those Jersey Shore fans, I totally just said that like “It’s t-shirt time!” LOL! I couldn’t help myself. Anyway, it’s been hella crazy lately. As some of you know, my mom has been dealing with back issues, which means I’ve been fairly busy helping her out when she needs. That includes physically going […]



A Second Chance: One Month Later

Can you believe it’s been just over a month since I released A Second Chance? I know I can’t! There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t wonder if this is all a dream…another figment of my wild imagination. If it is, please let me sleep. I don’t want to wake up. Right […]



My Reaction to a Refunded Copy of A Second Chance

Up until the other day I didn’t realize readers could ask for a refund on eBooks they’ve purchased. I was quite surprised when I saw others mentioning it on the Kindle Boards. I then felt a sick sense of dread. “Your day is coming,” my internal editor maliciously whispered in my ear. I then told […]



The Soundtrack for A Second Chance

Most writers that I talk to have some sort of soundtrack for each story they write. I’m no exception. I always try and find songs that encompass the emotions within a story. By doing so, I help myself get into the right mindset for whatever story I’m working on. A Second Chance was no different. […]



An Excerpt From A Second Chance

Today I thought I’d share an excerpt from A Second Chance with all of you. I know you can download samples at Amazon, but for those who have not installed the Kindle computer software, this is for you. * That Friday in mid-September dawned bright and hopeful for Annabelle Dixon. The air’s crispness marked the […]



The Soundtrack of My Life: Do I Make You Proud?

One of the most important things I wanted to accomplish with A Second Chance was to make my parents proud of me. I’ve said before I wasn’t an easy child to raise. I was a handful, and I put my parents through a lot.  I caused them to cry. And I even had them praying […]



A Special Thanks to Those Who’ve Helped Me

Last night, after many months of hardwork, I finally uploaded A Second Chance to Amazon, Smashwords and PubIt!. As of right now, it’s available on Smashwords for $.99. Even though my baby is out of my hands now, there is a huge part of me that is still scared beyond belief for how it’ll fair, […]



Writing Update – March 14

It’s been five days since my last writing update, and there’s definitely been quite a bit of progress. You may recall that I mentioned in my last post that my editor thought I should try and get my word count for Second Chances up to 11,000, which is about 4,500 more than what I started […]
