I haven't worked on my sci-fi book today. I'm avoiding it. I'm avoiding it because I think I need to delete two chapters. On the surface, that doesn't sound too bad, but I've already deleted and rewritten this section of the book a dozen times, and one of those...
One. So tired. One of the toddlers was up half the night vomiting. Poor guy. He's perfectly fine this morning, but we kept him home because... well, he was up half the night. He's going on five hours of sleep and I'm sure he would have been cranky at school. Sidenote:...
Aside from the Matter of the Mystery Poop*, potty practice is going pretty well. We've had a few accidents, especially if we dare put pants on them, but all in all, not as bad as I feared yet. But the kids are home with me today. SAD FACE! I just couldn't send them to...

Happy Monday, everyone! Are Mondays anyone else's favorite day of the week? I love them. It means my twins are back in daycare and I get to work. I freaking love my job, and since I haven't written anything since Thanksgiving (I am so not kidding here), I'm dying to...
Early reviews for The Sharpest Blade have been fantastic. I love this book so much, and I'm so excited you all will be able to read it soon. To celebrate the release, my publisher has lowered the price on The Shadow Reader ebook to $1.99 for a limited time. If you...
