Samhain Preparations

Autumn is coming and I started collecting the last herbs for this year. Through my walk I discovered some new areas. Each time I visit my forest, I'm still wondering to find new plants and herbs which I can use for my herbal medicine and magickal practise.

At the end of october the Coven will meet and celebrate Samhain together. Before our Rite I will do my last walk and take some Holly and chestnuts for decorating our Altar. My mugwort smudge stick, that I made after the Summer Solstice and selfmade soul cakes are on the Plan too

Uncontrollable Burn (Covencraft #5) - Blurb and cover!!!

Uncontrollable Burn (Covencraft #5) – Blurb and cover!!!

LOOK WHAT I HAVE HERE!!! I’m still on target for an early June release. I’m aiming for June 6 or 13th! You can face your past, but it doesn’t mean you’re free… Jade thought facing a Gorgon and her past demons (including the one that shows up in her pantry on occasion), meant she’d get over stuff. Auto-magically, so to speak. It turns out, it’s not that simple. Still recovering from her time in…

Edits - and some notes on book 5 (Covencraft)

Edits – and some notes on book 5 (Covencraft)

I’m editing book 5 (will have blurb up shortly) and sometimes, a particular song sticks with me through a book. For this one, it’s ben The Razor’s Edge by Digital Daggers. This one really speaks to me for Jade and her struggles.  Here are the lyrics. Bold emphasis is mine. “The Razor’s Edge” I think I’m lost I think I’m broken It’s not what I wanted The verdict won’t change I’ve gone off the…

Uncontrollable Burn [Covenceraft # 5] – status update!

You guys! I am THISCLOSE to finishing primary writing on book 5. My first draft is usually pretty close to my end draft [which is good or bad – take your pick!]. I’m just about to start chapter 17 [as it is numbered right now] and I think I need about 5000 more words to wrap it up. Then we’ll see what gets added/deleted during edits. As I posted earlier, I have clinical depression and I just…

Status Update - Covencraft, Historical romances

Status Update – Covencraft, Historical romances

Hi all! To keep the momentum of my writing, I decided to jump right into the next Covencraft story as soon as I finished book 4, Dry Spells. The next ‘story’ is Uncontrollable Burn and it deals with Jade’s feelings for Paris and a wildfire burning out of control. OH THE SYMBOLISM Le problem is I don’t know if Uncontrollable Burn will be a full length novel [80-110,000 words] or novella length…

Dry Spells [Covencraft #4] releases June 7!

Dry Spells will be released June 7! It’s up for pre-order at the moment and will be ready to download on June 7th! I’m very excited [as always!] I struggle with each book in its own way and then when I get to the end I’m like, ‘huh. Why was that so hard?’ I didn’t know the ’emotional heart’ of this book for a long time, and then when I did figure it out, it was SO OBVIOUS I wondered if I had…

Dry Spells Cover Reveal!

Dry Spells Cover Reveal!

LOOK WHAT I HAVE HERE!! I’m just wrapping up the end of the first draft, and then two things happen – I go back to the beginning and start editing and it also goes out to my BFF/editor Donna for the “Yo, does this make sense mostly or is it a hot mess” initial read though. Usually, my first draft is rough, but I tend not to have too many plot holes or missing items – I don’t like to write out of…
