Writing Update July 2024

A storm is coming… I was reading through some of my newest series Demon Tide in order to get it ready for beta-reading yesterday, and noticed a common theme about my own writing. I love writing about storms. I noticed this about my previous series as well. A few chapters into the book The Watcher […]

Writing Update May 2024

I’m not living by my own rules. (The next few paragraphs is a bunch of ranting and other publishing nonsense. Scroll down to the skip to the update on my books.) You heard it right there, everybody. Yep, that’s me, not abiding by my own rules I’ve set for myself. Missing my own deadlines. Shirking […]

Writing Update June 2023

This summer is shaping up to be a work one. Between publishing books, Stacy’s markets with FlannelnChubs, and other work to keep the bills paid, we will likely be staring at the computer screen until our eyes go blurry. That being said, we will need to do our best to get out to the beach […]

Tulips galore!
If you haven’t been to the Tulip Festival in Holland, Michigan, you might want to make the pilgrimage. Holland goes all out with its tulip displays, not to mention there are some other awesome sights to take in. Like a working…
