Publishing and Promotional Updates

As you’ve probably noticed, I’ve been mostly absent from the blogging scene lately, other than to feature books by some of my fellow YA authors. There’s a good reason for that. My friend McKenzie McCann blogged about something she calls “One More Thing Syndrome” a while back.  (I can’t find your blog post now, McKenzie, [...]

Cover Reveal: Getting Sideways

It’s been a while since I posted anything personal. Things were crazy for me in October. For one thing, I had a five-stop author tour. It was a lot of fun, and I’ve had a great time hanging with the other members of the group in person.  As a result of this tour, Stacey Wallace [...]

Greetings from Eugene

I’m in Eugene for a few days, soaking up the ambiance of the Holy Land. Goal number one: make some progress on Getting Sideways. Goal number two: figure out how to relax for the first time since January. Goal number three: eat plenty of Track Town pizza and Euphoria truffles. (You guys knew it was [...]

Running Wide Open Around the Internet

Today I’m being interviewed by Penny Lockwood Ehrenkranz over on One Writer’s Journey. Monday, my friend and frequent commentor, McKenzie McCann posted this review of Running Wide Open on her blog, and last week fellow author Rachele Alpine highlighted my sponsorship of Jared in this blog post.

Running Wide Open Now Available at Amazon and Barnes and Noble

Running Wide Open is now available at Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble, my Lightning Source account has been set up, and I’ve finally uploaded the POD files. Within a week I should have the proof, and once that’s approved I’ll be able to order copies of the book for myself. A few weeks after that, [...]

Running Wide Open Now Available at Smashwords

I really should be out mowing lawns right now, but I got my final cover tweaks done yesterday (I changed the title color to yellow to make it more visible) and this morning I decided to try uploading to Smashwords while I waited out the rain showers. I still have to convert my Word document [...]

Cover and Title News for In the Blood

The A to Z Blogging Challenge was a lot of fun, but it’s good to be back in the driver’s seat. I’ve had some exciting developments with my book, In the Blood, which I’ve been waiting to share with you. First, I’ve changed the title to Running Wide Open. Several people have said that I [...]

D is for Drifting, E is for Engine, F is for Fuel Cell

Guest Post by Alex, protagonist of Dead Heat: So Lisa wants me to do another blog post for her. Like I ain’t got better things to do with my time. Like I owe her a favor, after what she did to Cole. But hey, ya gotta do what ya gotta do. So where are we? [...]

A is for Apex, C is for Checkerboarding

I’ve been thinking about this A to Z Blogging Challenge, but I’m too busy for that, so I figured I’d let my characters do it for me. And, contrarian that I am, I decided that since the rules say you’re not supposed to post on Sunday, that’s when I’d start. My characters know a lot [...]

Catching Up

I’m such a negligent blogger. I haven’t posted in over two weeks. Instead I’ve been busy figuring out Twitter, growing my social network, and trying to finish up the rough draft of Dead Heat. I left Alex in a real mess and a lot of pain, and I feel kind of bad about that, but [...]
