FREAK FRAT is on sale!

 Welcome to the FREAK FRAT!

As you may know, this book is a long time in coming. It's been a labor of love for many (many, many) years, and now it's on sale everywhere!

FREAK FRAT is an urban fantasy, and it's my first full-length indie novel. I'm so excited and grateful to my beta readers and my street team, who took Joe and his friends under their wings and then asked for more. I truly could not have published it without you.

About FREAK FRAT:

It's hard getting a life when you're undead.

Freshman Year Checklist:

• Find the bit-and-run girl who turned me into a vampire
• Join supernatural beings support group
• Call Dad
• Cram for midterms
• Find out who's trying to kill me

Joe Dietrich has a lot on his plate: college classes, a lonely divorced dad, and a weirdo gamer roommate. Oh, yeah, and that vampire thing. If only he didn't have a supernatural hit squad after him...or a frenemy who'd rather take his head off than teach him to be a Supernat. If Joe can survive all that, final exams ought to be a piece of cake.

Good thing he hasn't tried asking that Grim Reaper girl out on a date.

Excerpt from FREAK FRAT:

I watched Pitt and Poole for a second, wondering why the SBS hadn't stuck me in a class with other new vampires. Was this some kind of sorting process? Maybe I'd meet them when I got better at this. Maybe there weren't many vampires in Luke's Valley. That must be why Poole was sent back to the baby class. I felt a little better.

Seth was still talking. "Orientation is every Sunday evening. You'll keep coming here to this room until you're ready to progress. These supernaturals will become like your new brothers and sisters in the weeks and months ahead."

Oh, God. It's like Delta Kappa Wacko. A sinking sensation started back up, somewhere in my middle, and spread outward. Like college isn't bad enough.

Book Review: BIRD BY BIRD by Anne Lamott

Just got done reading this, and already I know it’s one of the few writing books that’ll stay on my keeper shelf.

This is as much an instruction on the writing life as it is on life in general. Anne Lamott is darkly funny, starkly honest, and encouragingly hopeful. So much of what she says in this book resonates with me in ways other books on writing have not. Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been writing for years, this book is worth the read.

Lamott pulls no punches when she talks about the writing life. Cuss words are used. Neuroses are had. But that’s writing. We are all a little crazy, and it’s both maddening and beautiful. All of that comes across in this book, and ultimately it reminds us that as writers, we’re not alone. There’s a comfort in that. So much so, that I’m sure I’ll read this book again, as soon as I have one of those moments where I think my writing is either a) impeccable or b) complete trash.

As writers do.

FREAK FRAT Presale / Back to Normal / ICE CREAM DELIGHTS

FREAK FRAT Presale!

Book day never gets dull. While I was disappointed to see the shipment arrived imperfect, with some bent corners, I’m in discussions with the shipper to correct it. FREAK FRAT’s first copies have officially arrived, and the thrill of seeing one’s own books in print is always special.

Back to Normal

Our son starts his freshman year of high school tomorrow, and if you’ve followed our trials, you know this is a big milestone in his health progress. I am so proud of his progress and his drive to chase the things he loves, like math and science as well as his ever-present love of snowboarding.

For me, the return to normal means going back to the day job regularly. I hope that also means a return to my routine of morning writing sprints. I often get more done in a half hour of writing than in hours of allotted time. This means (I hope) more books, sooner, for you!

ICE CREAM DELIGHTS

Finally, a happy surprise for you: SUNCATCHERS AND SHERBET is now available in print! ICE CREAM DELIGHTS is a delicious anthology in the One Scoop or Two series featuring two contemporary romances sure to help your summer linger all year long!

About SUNCATCHERS AND SHERBET

The biggest risk is love.

Free-spirited Gemma Stone likes a risk. She bought her house on a whim and built a stained glass business from scratch. But loving again after last year’s romantic nosedive? That might be one risk too many.

Lee Thatcher used to take chances until a motorcycle accident convinced him to play it safe. His perfect life is all wrapped up...except for the girl he had to let go. He can’t stop thinking about Gemma even though his family business needs him to stay on solid ground.

When Lee uncovers details about Gemma’s new client, his gut warns him the guy is bad news. The man is charming his way into Gemma’s life, and it looks like her finances are next. After the way Lee and Gemma broke up, he’s sure she’ll never believe him. To bring her the proof, he’ll need to take the biggest risk of all: his heart.
