There's been a lot of talk about privilege in our society lately. Whether it's abled vs disabled, rich vs poor, etc. it's undeniable certain groups of people have access to things others do not. A few months ago, I stumbled onto a conversation between several very famous authors on Twitter. No I won't name anyone, … Continue reading Privilege in the Writing Community

Busy, Busy, Busy
It's been a minute since I sat down to write a blog. Things have been happening quickly lately and it's been a little overwhelming if I'm honest. I currently have four, yes four, books in production. The Showdown is complete and in the hands of my narrator. It is set for release on August 15th. … Continue reading Busy, Busy, Busy
So You Think You Can’t Afford to Make An Audiobook (Or That It’s Not Important)
I've recently become active in the author community on Twitter and every time I talk about my audiobook (which was completed on the same day I'm writing this post!) the response I get is either audiobooks are too expensive to make or not important. Both of those assumptions are wrong. Here's why: My audiobook was … Continue reading So You Think You Can’t Afford to Make An Audiobook (Or That It’s Not Important)
Book 2 Has A Title!
The first six chapters of book 2 are completed now and I think it's time to let you all in on the title. It's called The Showdown and oh my god is it different than The Beginning. This book is so much darker, the Aria of The Beginning is nowhere to be found in this … Continue reading Book 2 Has A Title!
Balance (A Book Update)
I'm 14k words deep into writing book 2 now, the process is so different than writing The Beginning was. When I wrote The Beginning I just wrote and wrote and wrote. There wasn't anything else I had to focus on so I was able to finish it in about three months. I'm working on promoting … Continue reading Balance (A Book Update)
Ways In Which We Relate to Our Characters
My last post likely ruffled a lot of feathers and I have to admit that was the point. I've spent my entire life stuck in the middle between the ableds and the disableds; never abled enough for the ableds and never disabled enough for the disableds. When I started working on my book, the divide … Continue reading Ways In Which We Relate to Our Characters

It’s Been A Little While
I've been working hard for the last few months on my book. Now it's finished and almost ready to be released. You may have noticed a lot of design changes on my website. I've been slowly changing things when I have time. There's now an about page, four excerpts and the blurb for my book … Continue reading It’s Been A Little While
Brave
Since I started working on my book a lot of people have called me a lot of things: badass, foolish, ridiculous, strong, determined and much more. I decided early on to be completely honest with all of my followers during this process. I'm doing this with no budget at all. Not even a dollar. There … Continue reading Brave
