January Wrap-up

Coming up on the end to the first month of the 2018 season and I can’t even remember the last time I wrote in here. As a writer, this makes me look piss-poor… But, hey, I put the pro in procrastination! One thing that made me want to get a post out was a message I received from a young man the other day. In it, he let me know how he has loved the trilogy I wrote and how powerful it was for him.…

So Close...

So Close…

So, this Friday, my last book in the Legend of Carter Gabel series will be released. Last Book. Whew, about three years ago, I didn’t think this was ever going to be an option, let alone a completion of something. I’ve met some great people thus far and can’t wait to meet a ton more. I hope you’ll be able to share your thoughts with me as I continue in the background on another project I hope to…

Save Up Your Pennies!

Save Up Your Pennies!

Good afternoon, let’s jump right into it! Next Friday, A Time to Die will be going to the editor. From there, it shouldn’t take longer than a couple of weeks before I have my final draft back. From that point, it’ll jump right into the lap of a formatting artist and finally, a revised full cover piece from my cover artist to wrap it all up. What’s that mean for you? Well, if all goes according to…

Balance

As much as I try to stay to a certain day a week to post, I will inevitably have one or two of “these” weeks. Going from so much involvement and interaction with my cover reveal last week, wrapping up two giveaways from Goodreads and getting an updated proofing of my book had me going every direction, with no clear intent mind you. Planning, as boring as it sounds, is necessary. Knowing when,…

Last Chance Giveaway

Today is the last day you can register on Goodreads for 1 of 2 copies of A Time to Reap! Almost 1200 people have signed up for the chance and the window closes at midnight tonight. It means a lot to see that number higher than any of my previous giveaways I’ve ever done so please share. A Time to Reap And, let’s not forget that the sequel giveaway ends on April 1st. Both links are listed below.…

Cover Reveal

Good morning everyone! With the unfortunate theft of my editing budget, the release date got pushed back. But that doesn’t mean I can’t continue to share! So, today you will be seeing my official cover in the completion to the Legend of Carter Gabel series. It’s been a very fun journey and I’ve met some amazing people along the way. Most that are helping me are linked below, so please go and…

Review Faces As an author, my general nature is to want everybody to read my story AND simultaneously hoping no one ever does.

Cover Revealings?

The time is coming when my final book is almost ready to depart on the last leg of its journey to the editors. March 24th is the special day. You know what that means? COVER REVEAL…. Except, not yet… I’d like some help from anyone willing to coordinate a reveal with me through their blog, site, social media, what-have-you. Any takers: JL.Fiction@outlook.com I’d like to do it on March 27th, two…

Two Minutes (3.10)

I have heard something this past week and it applies to everyone, not just authors. Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) or Fear of Missing Something (FMS) is one of those things we can all feel at times. For me, I feel I’m writing an idea that’s already been done before or the genre craze it’s in will pass. For others it might be the rush to finish a project, advance quickly in your career, get skinny…

The End of the Beginning

The End of the Beginning

Sorry about Monday, everyone. I tried to hold it off, but it was just too powerful for me to stop. But hey, with Monday’s, I’ll be bringing you updated posts on book progress, upcoming events, and all the little things in between. As some of you may know by now, the last installment in the Legend of Carter Gabel series is in the primping stages. Which is basically a whole lot of reading and…

Two Minutes (3.3)

I know how pressed for time we all can be, and I say that very loosely. I’m as guilty as you are, “I don’t have time to …” and you can fill in the blank. How many minutes of the day do I spend aimlessly wandering the digital world liking posts I don’t read all the way through, skipping good content in lieu of a photo, or skipping a photo because of a video? Answer: probably too many. We all do…

New Release

One of my good friends has officially raced me to publishing three books and he has beat me in releasing now. Take a moment or two to look over his new cover and check into him on social media.  Zach is a character and one of the nicest guys I’ve met on my journey. I’m glad to call him my friend. All his info is below: Book Synopsis: The widowed wife of a North Carolina plantation owner,…

It's Been Awhile...

It’s Been Awhile…

Mostly, we all have a calling. Something deep within or sometimes beckoning us from afar to do that thing which will complete us. For anyone reading this, I hope you’re already there doing it or in the process of reaching it. For me, I’m still on my way. I got a late start in life toward pursuing my passion of writing, but all of our journeys give us perspective, right? My calling doesn’t pay the…

How I Started NaNoWriMo in the Negative

How I Started NaNoWriMo in the Negative

It’s National Novel Writer’s Month! Time to put thoughts down and hammer out the majority or entirety of a novel, right? Well, I am doing just that. I am at the halfway mark in the last book of my trilogy and I have a short story due and what better month to tackle this adventure than November? I think anytime you can get a goal and a timeline, it sponsors the movement toward completion faster…
