(or How I Did It, a “.doc”-umentary) Branching Out For those of you who don’t know, I am hearing impaired. Not totally Deaf, but my hearing loss is significant. I hear things like thunder, but not peeper frogs. I hear bass notes in thumping music, but not cicadas. I hear a motorcycle’s deep rumble, but…

Life is a Garden
It occurred to me this afternoon that maybe Life is like a walk in an enormous garden. There’s no required goal or specific path for you to take, no ultimate destination in mind. Instead, it’s about being present in the moment, feeling the sun on your face and the wind against your skin. It’s about…
Summer Fun!
Hey, hey! I know I’ve been kinda quiet of late—did ya miss me?—but I’ve been pretty busy over the last couple of months, and the summer shows no sign of slowing down. Here’s what’s up: I’ve signed up for a Blurb Blitz blog tour (say THAT three times fast) with Goddess Fish Promotions. The tour…
Author Interview!
I know, I know … I’ve not uploaded a blog post this month. My sincere apologies! Lots going on … mostly I’m working on The Founder’s Seed book one (“Fallen”), and trying to keep up with a new writer’s group I’ve joined. That’s where some of the recent reviews have come from. Today, I wanted…
Step Up to the Mic
(or “Is this thing on?”) A few months ago, I set a date with WXGM Radio Station in Gloucester, Virginia to do an interview with the morning host Neal Steele. Back then, the date for the interview seemed too far away to worry about, so I set it aside and focused on other things. I…
Too Many Balls
Silly me. I must have thought, somewhere in the back of my mind, that once I got Entheóphage out on the streets, I could move on to the next project and leave Phagey behind. That my schedule would remain fairly consistent, and I would have no trouble juggling what remained on my plate. (Insert annoying…
Kindness Teacher
I have said in my blog and to writer friends that critiquing helps me improve *my own* writing, as well as contributes feedback to the other person for their own writing. Yes, it takes away from my available time to write, but in the end, it is worth it for both people involved. (And for…
The Chronicles of Self-Publishing: 11th Part of My Journey
(or How I Did It, a “.doc”-umentary) Part 11/11 Latest update: I’ve always heard from experienced authors that the best way to stop obsessing over a single work is to move on to the next project. So I’ve been learning to juggle. Again. Projects, that is. As an indie author, I’d focused solely on Entheóphage…
The Chronicles of Self-Publishing: 10th Part of My Journey
(or How I Did It, a “.doc”-umentary) Part 10/? Latest update: Think back. Remember how I spent months in early- and mid-2019 researching this book which focuses on a peculiar new virus that affects only children, and the odd things that come of it? How I wrote the whole first draft during NaNoWriMo of 2019,…
The Chronicles of Self-Publishing: 9th Part of My Journey
(or How I Did It, a “.doc”-umentary) Part 9/? Latest update: This might be the longest post in this series yet but as you’ll see, it’s been a very busy month. Since early September, I’ve: • Succeeded in getting Phagey added to the Goodreads library. • Claimed the book as my own and updated my…
