While I should be excited that Finn, Mr Husband, and I are currently enjoying our Irish getaway, I'm even more ecstatic that we're getting super close to launch time for the Bonds of Osteria: Book Four of the Osteria Chronicles. That means it's time to stop rambling on about my writing life and start sharing with … Continue reading Off With Her Head! Medusa vs Perseus
Another Round of Osteria Humor
Hello Blogland! Although I have been up to my neck with writing work and next week I'll have some VERY exciting news to share with you, this week I simply can't squeeze anything out of my head to share with you. Instead, I've done some deep research (okay, it was ten minutes on Google) to … Continue reading Another Round of Osteria Humor
Everything Old is New Again
So now that I'm on the downhill slope of releasing The Bonds of Osteria: Book Four of the Osteria Chronicles, I'm sure you've been kept up at night wondering what my next project might be. Sorry, I need a break from the series, so it's not going to be book five. However, fans of the … Continue reading Everything Old is New Again
The Quick and Dirty (and Funny) Blog Post
With the proofing and editing of The Bonds of Osteria, the editing and rewriting of a new book series, creating some ad copy, and writing an article for Horticulture magazine, this week I'm absolutely drowning in work. As such, I'm wimping out and doing a quick and dirty (and hopefully funny) post for this Wednesday's … Continue reading The Quick and Dirty (and Funny) Blog Post
Happy (Re)Launch Day to the Osteria Chronicles!!!
This Valentine's Day I'm showing my fantasy series a little love. I've forgone the box of overly-packaged, overpriced chocolates and sappy cards, and have instead opted for a little makeover...not for me, but for my books. What in the world am I rambling on about? Cue drum roll...... The first three books of the Osteria Chronicles … Continue reading Happy (Re)Launch Day to the Osteria Chronicles!!!
Clearing the Hurdle of Book Four, aka “Bonds is DONE!”
That's right The Bonds of Osteria: Book Four of the Osteria Chronicles is DONE!! Okay, not "done" done, but done enough to celebrate with all kinds of happy dancing and hoppy libations because it was a major struggle getting to this point.

Checking Up On Those 2018 Writing Goals
Egad! Is it really the end of January already? Apparently time not only flies when you're having fun, but also when you're hard at work (which kind of makes that saying a bit pointless, if you ask me). It's been a crazy busy month. At times has been a tad overwhelming and the old Doubt … Continue reading Checking Up On Those 2018 Writing Goals
Book Covers, Instagram, and the Scientific Method
I know you've all been on the edge of your seats anxiously awaiting the results from last week's book cover survey. Unfortunately, as most US election officers will attest to, trying to cajole people into casting their ballots is not a simple matter. To top it off, those of you who did vote (THANK YOU!) … Continue reading Book Covers, Instagram, and the Scientific Method
Book Four Has a Title…I Think
That's right, I have a title for Book Four of the Osteria Chronicles. I know, this is shocking news because I normally have nothing more than a working title (something super clever like, say, "Book Four") up until the very final drafts of a book. But this time around, I'm trying something a little different, … Continue reading Book Four Has a Title…I Think
