Hidden Mythics II Update #3

Pen and paper

As most of you know, I've been super focused on getting Zap Dragon published, which means I've been a bit silent on the Hidden Mythics II progress. In the background, I have been editing the novel. My Alpha reader's feedback has been amazing. Many times readers highlight different things. This is the beauty of having very different… Continue reading Hidden Mythics II Update #3

Mug of Cider - Set Up Adventure Story

"Watch your thoughts, they become your words. Watch your words, they become your actions. Watch your actions, they become your habits. Watch your habits, they become your character. Watch your character, it becomes your destiny." I’m not sure where I originally heard this and when I looked it up, it looks like even the internet… Continue reading Keep Showing Up

Hidden Mythics II Update #1

Gator - Adventure Stories

Back when I was posting updates about the progress on Quaking Soul, I referred to the manuscript as a monster that needed to be tamed. In hindsight, it wasn't as huge of a monster as I believed.

It goes something like this: “Where do you find your inspiration?” As many of you probably know, I’m working on a new adventure book to publish this August/September time frame. It originally started as a shorter adventure… Continue reading Sometimes It Gets Edited Out

False Summit

False Summit

In Colorado, there’s this thing that people do. It’s called hiking 14ers. Let me explain. The Rocky Mountains run through the state and gift it, if you will, with more than fifty peaks over 14,000 feet. (There are over 500 13ers, but we won’t even go there today.) So you see, there are these towering… Continue reading False Summit

I’m Alive!

Quaking Soul Manuscript

Hello Dear Readers! I'm checking in to let you know I'm still alive after my hiatus for book editing. Here's my progress report. This last week, I finished my personal edit on Quaking Soul. It took almost 3 weeks longer than I'd planned, but as someone told me recently, most everything takes longer than you… Continue reading I’m Alive!
