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 […]

*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 […]

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 […]

By doing so, I help myself get into the right mindset for whatever story I’m working on. A Second Chance was no different. […]

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 […]

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 […]

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, […]

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 […]
