Writing this with one eye open....

Haha!  That's a funny title for a blog post, but it is completely true.  While one of my eyes is almost completely clear, the other one is still a little bit fuzzy.  But I've got a job...

My Apologies :(

So as some of you may already know, I am a little bit under the weather.  I caught some kind of weird eye infection--something simple that's supposed to clear in less than a week.  Unfortunately for me, I am well into the third week of this ailment, which means I have had to push back events...

Question....

I want to know what people think about his/her books. You know the one that's told from the female perspective first and then retold from the male perspective. As a reader, I'm not a fan.

Bad Reviews

Let's face it, bad reviews are going to happen. Even fricken Colleen Hoover has bad reviews (I know, I can't believe it either). With that said, they're still difficult to stomach, especially when you believe in your story and your characters so much. I normally ignore them, but they hurt. So bad....

A Temporary Moment of Extreme Candor

Lately, I've been having a ton of sleepless nights. Those that know me well would probably immediately assume from that statement that I am a borderline insomniac because I'm probably reading or writing and am fully immersed in it.

Before I wrote NPLH...

I had written maybe five or six other books. Each of them I can see me publishing someday, like Soundless. I started writing it last summer, and finished it right before Christmas--right before I started NPLH. I remember the day I typed the first words: "So, there really is no hope for me at all."...
