Remember last year when I told you that I was headed in a new direction? How one of the things I wanted to focus on was writing the books I want to have written before I died? Well. About that… I spent the remainder of last year, from August through December, trying to focus on…Continue reading What I’m Working on Now

Sunshine Walkingstick Series is now in Kindle Unlimited!
The Sunshine Walkingstick Series is now available in Kindle Unlimited. When I originally pulled Sunny’s stories out of Amazon’s exclusive reader subscription program a few years ago, I swore I wouldn’t put them back in. At the time, they sold better when they were more widely available, so it made sense to keep them that…Continue reading Sunshine Walkingstick Series is now in Kindle Unlimited!
Time Off, Starting a New Series, and General Updates
After the release of Vampire Alley, the sixth Sunshine Walkingstick novel, at the end of June, I took a month off. That time off was completely unplanned. I had intended to jump right into outlining the first book of the newest series, but for whatever reason, one day passed and then another, and before I…Continue reading Time Off, Starting a New Series, and General Updates
Content from Newsletter
A while back, I changed my mailing list provider from MailChimp to MailerLite. MailChimp has (or had) this neat feature where readers could click through the newsletter’s archives and read old posts, even those that were published before they became a subscriber. MailerLite does not have that feature, and because MailChimp seems to be quickly…Continue reading Content from Newsletter
Paperback available for Black Witch Rising
The paperback edition of Black Witch Rising, the third Vanessa Kinley, Witch PI novel, is available on Amazon. The original cover designer, Nocturne Art, had to step away from publishing last year. It took me a while to settle on another cover designer, but the new one is also outstanding, not least because she stepped…Continue reading Paperback available for Black Witch Rising

The Facebook Experiment
Note: This post is an expansion on a recent update regarding my social media presence. As part of my continuing education on the business of writing, I attend or keep tabs on several writer conferences. The major one for indies is 20Books Vegas, an offshoot of the 20Books to 50K Facebook group, held every November…Continue reading The Facebook Experiment
The end of Shadow Magic
Shadow Magic: A Limited Edition Folkloric Romance Anthology will be unpublished on or around March 1. My contribution to the anthology was “The Witch in the Woods,” a story about how Old Mother (Mary Alice King) and Trey Carson met. It’s a lovely story and I hate for it to go out of print. I’m…Continue reading The end of Shadow Magic
Roundup: Updates, News, Writing Progress
Here’s a quick update about things that are going on behind the scenes. Burnout I’m very happy to say that while I’m not 100% out of burnout, I’m very nearly there. Say, 90-95% or so. Elsewhere, I’ve already discussed some of the causes of burnout and the subsequent fallout, such as not being able to…Continue reading Roundup: Updates, News, Writing Progress
