Sign Ups for The High School Sweetheart Cover Reveal, Release Blitz, and ARCs

Hello everyone!

I'm super excited to announce the sign-ups for my upcoming release, The High School Sweetheart. This book has been a long time coming. I actually wrote it in 2019 and it took me until this year to actually buckle down and do some intense revisions. I finally finished them recently and the book is about to be in my editor's hands.

In the meantime, I would like to reach out to all of you for help in spreading the word about the release of my first fiction book since 2014. I'm looking for people to share the cover reveal, post during the release blitz, and read and review the ARC by the end of the release month. The cover reveal will be happening on May 20th and release day is on June 21st.

I will email information for the cover reveal between 3-5 days prior to May 20th, for the release blitz between 5-7 days before June 21st, and ARCs will be sent as soon as they are available (at least 3 weeks before release day).

Please fill out the form in the link below this paragraph if you're interested in sharing The High School Sweetheart!

Now You Can See Gets a Brand New Cover

Hello everyone!

I'm so happy to announce during the last week of Poetry Month that Now You Can See has a brand new cover. I put it off for far too long because I wanted to actually draw something for my covers. Ultimately I decided that I didn't want to wait around to get a drawing tablet and looked for one.

Here's what the original cover looked like:

And here's the new cover:

I'm actually quite pleased with how it turned out. It has the right feel to it that I wanted to create.

Something I want to do in the near future is to publish more of my poetry, but I need to get my old laptop back up and running. I had 5 books planned out, including Now You Can See, but I can't remember which poems belong to which collection. I've also been writing poems off and on over the last few years that aren't included with those. Plus, I found my original poetry notebook where I would write everything on my mind out in a solid paragraph that I would turn into actual poems later. There are quite a few that I never made into poems that could very easily be created now.

Once I have my mud together, I'll definitely let you know when more poetry is coming!

First Quarter Update 2022

It's the end of the first quarter of 2022!

Keep reading to find out how things went during the first three months of this year!

-----

The very beginning of the year was a little slow for me, especially when it came to writing and revising. January was not the month for motivation, that's for sure! February got better and I was able to get a move on with revisions on both my upcoming novella release as well as briefly getting back to revising If Only We.

Revisions on the novella are going very well! I've read through half of the story to see what needs to be adjusted and have been implementing those changes as well as removing unnecessary words, dialogue, and scenes, and replacing them with something better. April will be crunch time to finish revisions!

Something else I've been able to do is figure out all of the books that will be in the series as well as their basic plots and characters. If all goes well this year, I should also have the second book in this series written and published by the fall. Fingers crossed, you know.

However, revisions on If Only We are inching along at a snail's pace. I have a lot of plans for 2022 and 2022 as well as several deadlines. Because of this, I have a feeling that I may not be able to follow through on republishing it this year. There is still a chance that I'll be able to relaunch the book this year, but I'm thinking it would be smarter to wait given how many projects need to be handled at the current moment. We'll see how things go, though. I'll probably know for sure by the end of the second quarter.

I'm super excited to let you know that these revisions are happening on schedule and should allow me to meet my deadlines and goals for the year! Once I have the novella completely revised and in the hands of my editor, I'll be announcing everything: the title, series name, release date, and the cover reveal. I'm beyond excited to finally be publishing something new again.

Thanks for reading! Have a great day!
