Always ask the pro, take two

In December, I asked Laura Anne to tweak my blurb.  I was so happy with the result that I hired her to edit The Cauldron Bound.  We discussed if I should hire her for the content edits or line edits.  In the end we agreed that it was best if I hired her to do […]

Always ask the pro

Ten days ago or so, I asked Laura Anne Gilman if she could crit Exile’s blurb for me. She generously agreed to do so for free.   Today I got the blurb back, and I am very happy that I asked her.  The blurb is much better now.   The old version: As long as Gwyneth […]

The danger with winging it

I have spent the last 3 days having a cold so my productivity have been low.  That said, I designed the cover for The Audience, and finished the scene I was writing. The second part is almost done at 4 000 words, I have one scene left to write so it should end around 5000 […]

Exile is free over the holidays

As I mentioned in my last post, I am offering Exile as a free read on Kobo and Ibooks for the next two weeks.   As I also mentioned,  this is the last time it will be free for the foreseeable future. I hope you enjoy reading about  Gwyneth and her adventures.   I have plans for […]

Wrapping up 2014

  When I write this, it is Early December. The air finally has a bite of winter, even if it hasn’t arrived yet. In fact, the roses were budding this weekend. Whoever says climate change isn’t happening is welcome to take a trip to my mum’s garden. Anyway. That is not what this post is […]

Five reasons you should read Joyce Chng/ J Damask

I might not like the cover for Heart of Fire *cough* but ever since I read it,  I have been promoting her books to anyone that wants book recommendations. Since they are simply great.  But I figured I would tell you why you should buy her books. 1.  She can write *anything* from children’s books […]

The freedom to experiment

I write novellas.  Most of my drafts ranges between 20-30 000 words.  But the story I am working on now is something new for me.  I haven’t decided if it is the first part of a longer serial or if it is the first in a series of short stories.  Considering that I rarely write […]
