For those of you who have been patiently waiting for me to write a story that didn't involve romance, this post is for you!

Costly Touch: A Novella
If you've read the last two posts about my novellas, you will probably notice there is a recurring note of love stories running throughout most of my writing. Costly Touch is no exception to that.

"I stumbled into it by accident." It works for me and it works for Emmeline. But that's literally a whole separate story so… Continue reading My First NaNoWriMo
Finding Inspiration
The idea for Slow Motion Whirlwind was actually brought on by my finding wattpad. A friend of mine showed me the site because he knows I have been attempting to write my novel for several years and love to procrastinate with reading. I went to check it out and really wanted to give writing there… Continue reading Finding Inspiration
