Happy Holidays everyone! I hope you all have wonderful times ahead with friends and family today. Don't forget the sweetness of serving others on this great holiday (I'm in the process of teaching my niece and nephew Christmas isn't all about the presents). My father always loved the idea of making a game of service, to see how many people you could help, without getting caught. A fun challenge indeed, if you find yourself bored on Christmas day.

Due to a rather extensive Christmas present taking a few days longer to put together than I anticipated, 'Death's Edge' will be delayed a bit. I'm still going over two final scenes to set up the main villains, but I will keep you in the loop as things progress.

​Every so often, I add a short memoir and some backstory at SixWordMemoirs.com. If you've got a moment to idle away, there are some interesting posts there. Cramming as much meaning into only six words is an interesting challenge. The exact opposite of novel writing, I suppose. Again, have a wonderful holiday everyone. Talk to you soon!

I had originally planned to finish my interview with Patches this weekend, before finishing off the final draft of 'Beyond the Edge'. Friday morning started off with no plans for the whole day, so I figured I could relax for an hour or so before knuckling down. Next thing I know, I'm babysitting my 18 month old nephew for most of the day, while his mom is in the emergency room. While the experience did cost me time I'd initially set aside for writing, it did provide some other useful realizations.

I used to tell myself, as a writer, I could work from home once I started a family. Now, I'm not so sure! Turns out, handling kids is a full time job. I've spent time with my niece and nephew (two and four years old), but never for more than a couple hours. Now, I'm wondering if working out of an office might be better, then I could come home and put all my energy into my family, rather than spend every day half-focused on my writing and my kids.

What do you guys think? If you could make a living from a computer, would you rather work from home, or from an office?

I hope you all have a great weekend. Talk to you again next week.

Happy Holidays Everyone!

Lots of exciting developments on the horizon. These last couple months have revolved around re-branding all my novel covers, updating their formatting  and uploading their latest editions.  They are all now up on my website, as well as other major vendors, if you'd like to check out the new cover art.

Beyond the Edge, the second novel in my Claws and Steel Series, will hit  the electronic and paperback shelves before Christmas.  Death's Edge (the first novel in that series)   will be available for purchase at a discounted price,  so stay tuned for these special  holiday deals.

I'm fighting a bug at the moment, a unfortunate byproduct of my family's Thanksgiving reunion, but thankfully writing is a passion I can do just as well when I'm sick (for the most part).  I wish you all the happiest of holidays and I will be in touch again very soon!
