    Okay, so this is exciting and nerve-racking and…and… I think I need to sit down for a moment. It’s my very first ever Indie cover reveal! Presenting, Second Sight! I have a few graphic novel series that I’d love to create eventually, and this short story is a glimpse of one of them. I wanted…

    Today is March’s full moon. It’s sometimes called the Storm Moon. Storms are often thought of as tumultuous events that can inspire fear. Having been in a hurricane, I understand this. But storms are also cleansing.

    This is a bittersweet moment. My last cover reveal for a title with Samhain Publishing. I’m more than a little verklempt over it.

    Remember how I said in my post Wednesday that I’m not done with traditional publishing? It isn’t done with me either 🙂 My beloved Samhain Publishing is releasing the books that were finalized before they made their announcement about closing down. I just found out that Lingering Touch is one of them!

    Well, hybrid anyway 🙂 Early this year, I decided that I wanted to venture out into the ever-changing waters of self-publishing. The news about my publisher has only put wind in my sails. I want the experience of steering my own course on a project. …Okay, I think I’m done with the sailing metaphor.

    Last week ended with news I was not expecting. Samhain Publishing announced they were planning on shutting down. It didn’t feel real at the time. It still doesn’t. Things can take sudden turns in the publishing industry. It’s so strange to think that I had originally planned a cover reveal for this week, but am…

    I’ve sent in the final round of edits for Lingering Touch where I let myself make changes. From here on out, it’s checking in with editors and looking over final proofs. That’s a lot more relaxing than hunting through the text trying to find any places where I can make the story stronger. I have…

    February is the most challenging month for me. I often spend it fighting off colds, with varying degrees of success. This year was no exception. The month usually passes as something of a blur. I checked my planner today and saw that there’s a full moon tonight—one I haven’t written (or really thought much) about…

    I started getting out more before the end of 2015. I’m lucky to live close enough to the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art to go there whenever I want. I used to go more often, but have been too busy lately. In 2016, I’ll be making more time to go.
