Welcome! Thank you for participating in:
This is a big year for me, mostly because I am trying to take it seriously. Before, I wrote. Now I see that is not enough. Last year I used Kindle Direct Publishing to put out my backlog including 4 in the Sinnis Series, Hateful Burden and 2 Mount Haven Quickies. It has been a blast but I want to make a living doing what I love and so I need to edit, expand distribution, blog, market and network. Krystal Shannan, I would like to thank you for helping me.
Here are some of the big developments in 2013 so far. I am a member of Satin Sheets Romance Review blog and The Romance Troupe. I have professionals working with me (Thank you Blue Harvest Creative!) on editing and design. I will re-release Hateful Burden with a new wonderful cover on all major platforms and in PRINT! My website is now up. I have published Veil of Ishtar (book 5 of Sinnis) and Blind Furry (A Mount Haven Quickie). I am writing Wretched Blood - the follow up to Hateful Burden, a stand alone steampunk-ish vampire book, the final Sinnis Series book, and 3 Mount Haven Quickies.
Now, let's get down to why you are here:
