This feels yucky…

Today, I have to do one of the yuckiest things I’ve ever had to do in my author career. But before we get into that, let’s back up a bit. Imagine you’ve invited friends to come for tea and cake. Not just any cake, but your special grandma’s-secret-recipe-insert-your-favorite-cake. You’ve spent the morning mixing and stirring

Psst! You want to see something gorgeous? (Hint: it starts with ‘cover’ and ends with ‘reveal’!)

Friends! This is kinda like those 4D scan pics that mommy-to-be’s flash around. You know there are still months to go, but you can’t help squinting at the image hoping not to see signs of Uncle Hubert’s nose. No Uncle Hubert from this angle. Honestly though, isn’t it lovely? OH FINE. I’ll show you the

Humility vs Perfection and the sweet space in between

Humble is a good place to live, right? I’ve had an interesting week. Shackles, the first novel that I wrote (over a decade over *cough*) never found an official publishing home. It did get my foot in the door with my current publishing house though, so I’m grateful for that. A few years back, I

My Top 3 Writing Apps

We are living in the days of an App for every occasion. I blogged on my top 3 apps for writer over here. I also read about an awful app that would probably lead to some laptop smashing if I ever tried to use it. You can read about it here. Your turn. What apps

A Writer’s Life #2 Poolside Plotting

9 yo has been nagging to go swim so today we are doing that. It works for me too as I brought along this… It’s ugly, but it works. #amplotting now is good for #amwriting just now.  How’s your Saturday treating you?

Finding Mia Book Trailer

Hello! I’ve always said that trying to write a synopsis (or Heaven forbid.. a BACK PAGE BLURB) is much like squeezing the entire contents of your house into the post box. I’ve also discovered that making a book trailer is just as impossible hard. So I know it is probably too long, but here you

What happens after you sign a 3 book contract

I’ve just signed a contract with Pelican / Watershed for a 3 book YA series called Spirit Walker. *Pinches arm* I keep checking just to make sure that the contract is real and not one of those so-real-you-can-smell-the-coffee dreams. Each time I look, there it is, all signed and beautiful. It is truly the stuff
