In honor of Lost Whisperer of the Seas‘ anniversary and Free download week (Didn’t know? Haul in your catch here or at my Payhip Store!), let’s show off the smaller sailboats featured in the story. I shot these photos for research at the Annapolis Boat Show in 2011 to help me visualize the sailing portions. […]
It’s #BookQW and after some sailing dunks, time for a ‘dry’ break & kissing! More from Chapter 26: Ty chose his words carefully. “It’s hard when things fall apart. Isn’t there anything else fun in these ports to replace dueling?” “Aye.” She cocked her head, twisting her lips. “Kissing.” What? Not that he didn’t want […]
Lost Whisperer of the Seas is now free on all retailers and in the race to see how many readers will download it, just like the schooners at the Great Chesapeake Bay Schooner Race in 2011! Worldwide vendors will take longer, so please use my Payhip Store if it’s not free in your area. I […]
Coral and Ty’s story came out a year ago and it’s a finalist in the National Readers’ Choice Awards. Let’s celebrate! I’m offering the ebook for free for a limited time. As usual, it’s taking some retailers longer to switch over the pricing. So far it’s free on Kobo and Nook and my Payhip Store. […]
It’s #BookQW and sometimes people are ‘perfectly’ different than you thought. More from Chapter 22: Fern started dipping cupfuls of the black soil mixture into a seed tray. “What is that?” Raven asked, his question more of a challenge. “Potting soil,” she answered warily. “You can’t grow ratna in that barren matter.” Her hackles rose. […]
It’s #BookQW and Fern wants an incredible ‘dream’! More from Chapter 15: Fern rubbed her throbbing temples. Lady Mimosa pulled Fern’s hands down and held them in hers again. “This is naught to worry over.” No, probably Mom didn’t love her less for lying, not if she’d kept quiet and continued to put charms on […]
It’s #BookQW and Cor ‘finds’ creative magic for beekeeping. From Chapter 15: Their bee yard was in a clearing between two terrace walls, four hives made up of two hive bodies each and a fifth with three. Additional hive stands stood empty. “This isn’t enough hives for the size of your orchard,” he remarked. “We […]
It’s #bookqw and Daeryn’s enemies might be as ‘tight’ as friends. I’m celebrating the 5th anniversary of publishing The Unraveling, Volume 1 of The Luminated Threads. Yesterday’s post included several insider details of my writer’s journey in this story. Read it here. I also posted an excerpt from my heroine’s viewpoint, that of a proper […]
2015. So long ago. And not that long ago. The Unraveling was the first of my books that I chose to release. I began writing it in 2012, a flow of words that reached over 200K. Critique partners suggested I break it into shorter novels and form a ‘serialized novel.’ Here’s my original promo when […]
It’s #BookQW and Coral hesitates a ’second’. More from Chapter 5: Coral backed toward the door. The stranger, slender and muscular, straightened to stand only inches taller than her five feet. He wore the dairy’s white work shirt and dungarees, but with a red bandanna capping his head like a pirate’s headgear. Dark brown locks […]
