Writing Advice That Has Nothing To Do With Actually Writing

Writing is hard. (source: Giphy) Let’s just get that out of the way, shall we? Whether you’re new to writing or you’ve been doing it for years now, that fact never changes. It’s hard to sit down, day after day or night after night, and write words that make sentences that form stories. It takes patience, research, talent, and more to make it all come to life. Ever since I started publishing in 2013, I’ve been approached by new writers asking for advice. I almost always start out by pointing them to this blog post I wrote, but ever since […]

Introducing My Next Full Length Novel… Plus, A Sale! :)

I’m so excited to introduce my next full length release… Weightless. Weightless Coming June 16th I remember the lights. I remember I wanted to photograph them, the way the red and blue splashed across his cold, emotionless face.
