Marketing Monday: ARC Readers-What Are They and Should I Use Them?
Getting reviews, even bad ones, is a good thing. Readers tend to flock to books that are being read and talked about by others.

Halfway There
Revisions are taking longer than planned, but I’m at the midpoint of Eastside Hedge Witch. I love this story and Miriam so much. I’ve cut so much but wrote new scenes and chapters I’m really proud of. I like the new look and the way the story unfolds, and I think readers will too. Hope[…]
