Busy, busy April 0 (0)

I get the first look at the Peacekeeper cover! Exciting… but after the first thrill, I have some consternation. Major Kedros isn’t blond. I know there’s nothing that can be done about the cover, considering the artwork is done and I’m a pretty small fish in this publishing pond. Since February, my husband’s been asking […]

My first editorial letter 0 (0)

I have no idea where February went, but March has been filled with making changes to Peacekeeper. I received my first editorial letter, which is always scary for a writer, from my editor Jessica. She didn’t want serious plot/characterization changes, but she did ask for clarification in certain parts. She also wanted one or two […]

My father-in-law, Tarlton Guyote 0 (0)

The death of a loved one is a disorienting experience, and the loss of my father-in-law this month sent my husband and me into a place of distorted time and space. I can’t say what else happened this January, except that there was frantic activity and we made two trips to Louisiana. In general, this […]

How slow does the publishing wheel turn? 0 (0)

Can’t help but feel like a poster child for the "Publishing is slooooow" education campaign. I’m still waiting for the contract and the editorial letter. On the other hand, I know everybody’s busy and I’m getting in some writing time on Genetic Chords. Happy Thanksgiving — hope everyone’s turkey and ham was as good as […]

MileHiCon 39 and the Grand Canyon 0 (0)

Not that there’s any similarity between the two, except I traveled to see both this October… I went to MileHiCon 39 in Denver, where I had David Weber sign two books: At All Costs and Off Armageddon Reef. Now all I need is the time to read them. Earlier in the month, I took a […]
