It's been so long since I fell madly, truly, deeply in love with a series. You know the feeling--you just want to devour every book as fast as possible, and then you reach that last page and you want to cry because the fourth book is not out yet. I'm there. These books are crazy… Continue reading Book Review: The Lunar Chronicles

Rough Draft Complete: Anwen of Primewood
This is seriously a squee moment for me. I just finished up the rough draft for Anwen. Now to send it off to print! Joking. Ahhh...I wish.

December TBR
I won't be reading as many books in December as I usually do through the rest of the year. Between shopping, parties, crafting, baking, and finishing up the first draft of Anwen, I'm not left with a whole lot of free time. As many of you who follow my blog Good Intentions know, I also… Continue reading December TBR

Editing Date Set
I'm happy to announce I will be working with Jeni Chappelle for editing! I was originally going to use Create Space's editing services, but I really want the process to be a little more personal. After receiving Jeni's three-page critique, I e-mailed her several times for more information. She's professional and friendly, and I'm very… Continue reading Editing Date Set
