Champion Sword Swallower…
So, I am part of a sweet, growing group of authors who blog once a week called the YA Indie Carnival. Now, we had a contest two posts ago, a collective effort of giveaways. It was a blow out of sorts. Our Carnival organizer, a brilliant author by the name of Laura Elliott busts […]
YA Indie Carnival: An Indie Author who revs my engine
Seeming as the person I really wanted to write this post about is a friend of mine, I decided to pick an author who I don’t have to explain my obsession to because, let’s be honest, it’s a little psycho to write about your friends just because they happen to be geniuses. So, today’s YA […]

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 […]

Last week, I wrote a rant-like post about how, essentially, I felt that a reviewer who gave me a low score on my novel without actually reading the darn thing was, let’s just say, lacking in good judgement on their part. Today, I’d like to write to those reviewers who gave me a low score […]
The Glassheart Chronicles
