Don’t Wait

March 6, 2018February 16, 2018 by Beth

Late in January, my husband ran across a comic with a title remarkably similar to the title he’d chosen for his own. It’s not an uncommon issue; similar titles get used in stuff all the time. Heck, even identical titles crop up now and then. We discussed it a bit,… Read the rest...

Revision Eight

February 27, 2018February 1, 2018 by Beth

Eight. Just typing that headline makes me cringe. It’s not uncommon for books to go through a lot of different drafts, but this is a little bit different. After a serious reevaluation, a split and a renaming, the first book in my epic fantasy series is now in its eighth… Read the rest...

Her Midnight Wedding now available in paperback

February 20, 2018February 1, 2018 by Beth

I’m always looking for fun ways to keep track of my stories and the characters within them. One of my favorite ways to keep track of characters is to give them a character sheet in my book planner. But page after page of text can be kind of boring, even… Read the rest...

Goodbye Teavana: Looking for tea alternatives

January 23, 2018January 10, 2018 by Beth

I never saw another customer in Teavana. The employees often stood out front, usually wringing their hands and looking uncomfortable while people walked by. They didn’t really want to serve samples.
