Freddie's Braindroppings

I haven't actively been doing too much for Preptober, but that's because I lucked out in that most of the prep work has already been done. I did however take some time to create an awesome tracker in my writing bullet journal, and am putting myself out there that yes, I am doing this. Hold me accountable!

You know I keep promising to stop disappearing like this, but if there's one thing I know about myself it's that I get distracted super easily. Which is why I'm getting started on something a month early to hold myself accountable. Yeah that's right. We're talking NaNoWriMo time!

The news just keeps coming! I submitted a story for this anthology call , and it was accepted! Read on to find out more and how you can get a free copy, but only until 5/8!

Well time just keeps on slipping away, doesn't it? At least I haven't been idle. Here comes this [long overdue] Friday with Freddie!

Wow, so that was some fail on my part. I end 2016 with my on-sale post and then disappear for almost two months? Brilliant. I haven't been doing nothing , of course. I've been finding a balance between staying politically informed and trying not to be overwhelmed. I've been writing (not as much as I'd like), and I've been poking around my website, playing with some redesign ideas. I haven't figured out exactly how I want the new site to look but I'm close. Something else I've been doing: being much more active on Instagram ! Do you follow me there? Please do so you don't miss out. Right now I'm doing an #authorlifemonth challenge for the month of February. I still have yet to post today's but here's a quick look at what's gone up so far:  The challenge itself. Commissioned art. Cover inspiration. Head over to  Instagram  for an explanation of these images. In other news, I'm working on the follow...

It's finally here! Release day for A HONEYED LIGHT! Y'all, I can't even contain my excitement; my stomach is roiling . I'm just so very happy to share this labor of love with you. Please go ahead and grab a copy from the retailer of your choice, and most importantly, leave reviews! Those reviews really help my book get seen and read by others. In other news, I have a book blitz happening on Enchanted Book Promotions here and one at Dog Eared Publicity here . I also have two giveaways going! One is at the stops along Enchanted (or right here ) and the other is connected to my Headtalker blast that went out at 10 AM EST. Retweet that to get a chance to win! I"m pulling winners this weekend from the #AHoneyedLight hashtag so get on that! Hmm what else? If you've read it, you'll see that there's a neat little setup up at the end for a sequel, and yes, I do have plans for that to come!  More on that later. Right now I'm just super exci...
