Please check out the April Blogging from A to Z Challenge #AtoZChallenge a-to-zchallenge.com
My theme for the 2026 A to Z Challenge is Plotting Book Three in my Existence series — Cave of Existence.
This is some of the structure, or "beats," for an alphabet-worth of the book. (Approximately the first 2/3 of the novel.) Some authors find that having a structured plan in place before writing is helpful. Using the alphabet, I've created the basic plan for a large part of the novel, and I'll be sharing that here with you.
Posts will be about this writing project, but not excerpts of the book itself.
The goal of my author blog is to share "behind the scenes" goodies on my books, and to establish my author "brand." Readers should feel welcome here. Like a mixer party🍷🍸🍻🍵☕- visiting this blog should feel like an opportunity to get to know me, my characters, and fellow commenters.
(It also lets me take part in really fun blog hops and connect with fellow bloggers!)
I am the team leader and a co-host of the A to Z Challenge, so once April starts, I will be very busy. I try to comment on every blog in the challenge. (Assuming I don't need to "sign up" or "subscribe" to something just to comment.) However, I am open to prewriting a few guest posts if anyone is looking for a guest contributor for your A to Z blog this April. Leave a comment and be sure I know how to reach you.
