And it's done! Check out the new version of "Everyone Talks"! I ended up completely changing the ending, but trust me, this is so much better.

Hello, friends! So, I've taken down "Everyone Talks" and started uploading the new version. After some editing and careful analysis, I decided to change the POV (3rd to 1st) which meant I had to do a lot of rewriting. I also took the opportunity to clear up some plotholes and tie up loose ends. I hope you'll give it a read and let me know what you think. So far, I've got up to Ch. 10 posted, but planning to post the rest once I finish up editing on the last two chapters.

Hey folks! My Buzztable has been posted. Give it a read! Some really great answers from my fellow Mystery/Thriller writers.

So excited! "Queen of the Wood" was chosen as one of the top picks for Mystery/Thriller in the 2024 Ambys! Thank you to the judges who read and chose my book! And stay tuned for updates on the YA adaption. I'm planning to keep both versions up, though I'm considering changing the title of the YA version to differentiate them. Give them both a read and let me know what you think.

And I've posted all of "Everyone Talks." Just spent a week going through and editing it after I finished writing, but still needs some work, I think. Give it a read and let me know what you think.

Just posted another chapter of "Everyone Talks!" I've been really digging into it over the last week and hoping to get the last 5.5 chapters written over the next two weeks. In the meantime, I'm now posting again. For now, every Monday, but I'll increase it when I get more chapters done.  Hope you enjoy!!

Hello my loves! I went ahead and posted the first chapter of the YA version of "Queen of the Wood." For the time being, I'm keeping both versions up here. They're pretty different, but I think it's cool to read both and compare. Give it a read and let me know what you think!

Hey folks! 
          Got a writing update for ya'll. I'm currently working on re-writing "Queen of the Wood." I know, I've already rewritten it once now, but it still doesn't feel right. I'm now reworking it into a YA mystery/thriller, and I think the third time might be the charm. Currently, I'm still plotting out the chapters and incorporating a crap-ton of changes. Then I'll get into writing. I'm thinking about keeping up the latest version and possibly re-titling the YA version when I'm ready to start posting, but we'll see when I get there.
          
          I'm also doing some re-plotting with "Everyone Talks," though it's not nearly as extensive as with "Queen of the Wood." If I can get some more writing time in over the next couple of weeks, it might not even affect my posting schedule, but we'll see. The new elements are being added to chapters I haven't written yet.
          
          Anywho, that's about it. Thanks for reading and following!

Took forever, but I finally hit the halfway mark on "Everyone Talks!" Granted, I'm still doing only about one chapter a week, so we're still at one posting a week. Sorry. However, tomorrow at noon, the next chapter goes live!

Hey folks!
          I'm nearly the halfway mark on writing "Everyone Talks." Just three chapters away. Once I hit that point, I'm going to increase posting from once to twice a week on Wednesdays and Fridays. I'm very happy with how it's coming together, so go check it out! Got four chapters up now.
