So, I've finally discovered Canva. If you don't have any design skills, like me, it's a great resource for making your own graphics. One less thing I have to outsource and pay $$$ for someone else to do! I've made my first teaser and thought I'd share -- every where -- because I'm super proud… Continue reading #TeaserTuesday

A Very Merry Bookiversary!
*peaks out from under rock* Oh, hai. Well, I’m not dead! Just been busy working, writing, worry about working, worrying about writing, struggling to make ends meet, making big life decisions – you know, all that adult-related nonsense we have to put up with. So I just stopped by to check in with y’all and… Continue reading A Very Merry Bookiversary!

#bookpartytime
This past Wednesday, we (me and my madre) threw a little shindig to celebrate the release of Stones. We danced, we kissed, we schmoozed, we carried on, we went home happy! Just kidding...unfortunately there was no dancing or kissing, but there was schmoozing and eating. And I went home pretty happy because my friends brought… Continue reading #bookpartytime
EBOOK RELEASE DAY
It's aliiiiivvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Well, the digital version is anyway. Long story short, I am having technical difficulties with CreateSpace, who keeps rejecting my interior file. I was able to order one proof copy, found a pretty big formatting issue, and haven't been able to pass the updated file through the CS review system since. I've been… Continue reading EBOOK RELEASE DAY
WIPpet Wednesday: I’ve Got Nothin’
I think the title of this post is pretty self-explanatory. I have nothing new for WIPpet Wednesday because I have written nothing new on any of my WIPs. Haha. I’m so productive. Anywho, in keeping with the spirit of one of my 2015 goals (be more bloggy) I figured I’d use this space for some… Continue reading WIPpet Wednesday: I’ve Got Nothin’
Goal Setting (Or, Stuff Jessica Fails Miserably At)
I’m not ready for today to be the last day of 2014; honestly, I don’t know how the year disappeared so fast. But, since tomorrow will begin a new year, I figured a little introspection was in order. I don’t normally like to make a big hubbub about New Year’s resolutions, mainly because I don’t… Continue reading Goal Setting (Or, Stuff Jessica Fails Miserably At)
WIPpet Wednesday: Internet’s Back
So I'll start this post with a confession: I've had internet for a couple weeks now, but things kept popping up. This week, however, I reserved tonight for author-y tasks. Made some updates to the website, worked on some formatting (eeeee!), wrote a little bit on untitled book 2, decided to jump back in for… Continue reading WIPpet Wednesday: Internet’s Back
On Writers and Reviews
As the release date for Stones creeps ever closer, I find myself growing ever more anxious. The cover is out in the world, with my name on it and guys…I’m kind of freaking out. I think I’ve officially entered the “What in the name of fluffy unicorns have I done?” phase of publishing. Has anyone… Continue reading On Writers and Reviews
Setbacks
Newsflash: I've grossly underestimated the time it would take me to get Stones and Finger Bones ready to send out into the world. Anyone surprised? No? I'm definitely not. Ugh. The good news is that I have a delicious brunch scheduled for Sunday to meet with my final reader to gather up her thoughts and… Continue reading Setbacks
