Paranormal Women's Fiction, Urban Fantasy, and Fairy Tale Retellings with a Modern Twist
This year was a massive learning experience in if it can go wrong, it will.
You know how they say to back up to the cloud? Do it.
Double check to make SURE it’s done too.
I thought I knew better, but I got careless, relying on the machine to auto-backup. One little app toggle accidentally turned off. My writing prom ceased backing up, and I hadn’t noticed.
The Universe decided to up the stakes.
There is a reason that my paranormal women’s fiction characters resonate with readers. They are usually at a point in their life where they are surviving and don’t want to do the hard work of thriving.
