I'm still not sure how the 2015 changes are going to affect Facebook and author pages. But it's still 2014. 

Wanna party like it's 2014?!

If so, join me today (December 26, 2014 from 10:00AM until 10:00PM EST)--along with Jo Michaels, Casey L Bond, NL Greene, and Kelly Risser--for the Fractured Glass Release Day Party. Hope to see you there!

Also, I hope everyone had an amazing Christmas!

Fractured Glass is LIVE!

It's finally here!

Fractured Glass is now live in both Kindle and paperback.

Just in case you've missed me shouting it from the rooftops... Fractured Glass is the Novel Anthology I wrote with the amazing Jo Michaels, Casey L. Bond, Kelly Risser, and N.L. Greene. 

In the last few weeks, I've shared some of the characters' bios. Check out my posts: DiegoHarley and SloanCalixElba, and Yurit.

About Fractured Glass

What if other worlds existed alongside your own? What if you could travel through them and truly escape reality? 

Sloan and Harley Glass were born moments apart; but, despite their differences, the sixteen-year-old twins couldn’t be closer. They’ve held their tongues each and every time their mother has uprooted them—often moving across the country with little notice. They’ve learned to accept change. But what is Mom running from? 

They discover they’re travelers—half-descendants of those who can traverse an entire universe of parallel worlds known as fractals. When the past catches up, Harley is kidnapped and taken to one of those distant worlds. Now, Sloan must garner her courage and find a way to rescue her sister. Traversing the worlds isn’t the hard part; it’s surviving the elements and the creatures lying in wait to destroy everything in their path. 

Will the Glass sisters be able to save the fractal worlds from the kidnapper, or will everything fracture and crumble around them?

Able to see the future, he knows a guardian needs to be found, but is hesitant to pass that amount of power to a single person. He’s short, sweet, and loves his daughter, Heema, very much.

Sharing Jo Michaels 12 Days of Reviews Fun!

The amazing Jo Michaels--my friend, editor, co-conspirator, cover designer, and all around great gal--is hosting a fun year-end event. Best of all... it's all about indies!

Each day she has giveaways and allows indie authors to pitch a book. She'll sample them and pick someone's book to buy. If she enjoys the book (and can give it a 3-star rating or better), she'll leave a review. Plus, it's a great way to find new books to read.

Okay, enough of my para-phrasing. Check out the rules here and yesterday's post at 12 Days of Reviews Requests, Day Two.

Oh, and did I mention you can enter to win a Kindle Fire HD 6 (16GB -- No special offers) White? Enter here

What are you waiting for? If you are a reader, go find some great books. If you are an indie author, go and pitch your novel. Either way, enter for some fun stuff.

Happy Wednesday!

A Black Cloud: #IWSG

The Insecure Writer's Support Group (or IWSG) is a wonderful group put together by the amazing Alex J. Cavanaugh (which now has an equally cool Facebook group). 

The first Wednesday of each month is the perfect opportunity to share my insecurities on the #IWSG therapy couch, get encouragement and support about such insecurities, and to read how other writers are faring.


First of all, I wanted to let everyone know that The Insecure Writer's Support Group Guide to Publishing and Beyond is available. Find out more here.


I plan on downloading a copy later today!

Now, it's time for my insecurity for December. Actually, it's more of a concern/fear.

The novella I just finished and the book I'm currently working on have some intensely emotional scenes. Unfortunately, I can't shake them. I feel like I'm walking around with a dark cloud, and I'm finding it hard to concentrate and get other things done.

What can I do to shake this heaviness? I need to get back to writing, editing, and life. I tried writing some lighter scenes, but the novella really doesn't have any, and that's the one I need to get back to (editing, etc).
