Onward and onward on the revisions for HEART OF BRIAR. As I said on the Other Social Medias (OSMs), writing a novel is like building a mountain out of pebbles. Revising is like trying to rearrange the pebbles without causing a landslide. So far so good – the major changes are all making sense, and

Tricks of the Trade is featured on Beyond Her Book today! (with a mention of Dragon Justice).

Yesterday I reached Draft 0 status for “From Whence You Came,” coming in at just under 30,000 words. I’ve put it aside to think about what it’s done for a week or so, then I’ll go back and revise (rewrite) it, while Bob Eggleton works his magic on the cover art. (I cannot WAIT to
