The awesome Kaylea Cross asked on twitter how I’m working on getting faster. Way back when I started writing fiction, I spent several (okay five) years setting unrealistic goals–50k in a month, 5k a day, 4 hours a day–things that just didn’t take into account my real life.

I missed the deadline to do the official six sentence Sunday (again!), but I thought I’d share another snippet from Swimming the Distance from the Going for Gold anthology which released on Friday from MLR. One of the things that I really love is figuring out how my characters see each other. This is how Bohdan sees Kyle: That got …
Last night, I got to do something I’ve waited 30 years to do. I got to buy a book with my writing in it. I’m not gonna lie, I got a little misty. Okay. A lot misty. Going for Gold is now up for purchase at MLR–they have nook, kindle, and pdf formats there. …

I’m so excited! Less than a week until the Going for Gold anthology is out from MLR Press! And . . . . We have a cover! Isn’t it pretty? And we’re now up at Goodreads, so you can the anthology to your TBR pile!
The shiny new site! And a new fresh start. I’ve shared my call story below and I look forward to sharing more on the blog and to hosting guests!
