Yaaay! No! Double Yaaay! Such a fun, fun, fun blog this week for the carnival. Okay, so here’s the deal chickadees! Everyone in the carnival asked another on the rotation five questions. I got the talented, the magnanimous, the brilliant, the ultra clever, the gifted Laura Elliott! My very good friend put up with my silly […]
Strength in numbers. Or, in this case, the number three.
Today’s YA Indie Carnival topic is ‘Three Young Adult Author Tips’! I have to come up with three things instead of hundreds but I suppose this’ll do. *wink, wink* Okey dokey, numero uno! There are going to be many, possibly hundreds of people who aren’t going to understand why you choose to be a ‘starving […]
The Glassheart Chronicles
This week’s Young Adult Indie Carnival assignment required us to put up the first paragraph of a piece we were currently working on. Originally, my plan was to put the first chapter of my newest book, Callum & Harper up for this week’s Indie Carnival but working it out and preparing it for publication on […]
Inspiration…or, as the French would say, Inspiration. Hey, wait a second.
This week’s YA Indie Carnival’s question asks, Where do you find inspiration for your writing? I love this question and yet I hate it all the same because it forces me to admit things to myself, to be honest. I know, that’s strange, not necessarily for me because I am impossibly torn on most things […]

As I’ve said before, I’m a firm believer in Indies. Don’t believe me? Here, check this out. “Jane, Get Me Off […]
The Glassheart Chronicles!
In the style of Will Ferrell, “I’m singing! I’m on my blog and I’m singing! I’m on my blog and I’m siinngginnggg!“ So, instead of spending my time wisely and writing a bunch of words for you to read. I decided to waste time and create these: Duh, duh, duhduhhhhh! The Glassheart Chronicles Dance Troupe! […]
A Sensation Driven Happiness
This YA Indie Carnival week’s topic is ‘Why the genre we write?’ Okay, I only have one published book and it happens to be a Supernatural Romance but I’m currently writing a novel that has no paranormal elements. So, I’m going to go out on a limb here and say I don’t write an especially […]
