Shining Star-BTS
The characters were very compatible and fit together nicely. I did have to change the Hawaii story to first person and rewrite a bunch of it to accomplish that, but the actions were already laid out.

Shining Star-excerpt 2
Published in Book, Novel Excerpt, Star-Jilted, UnpublishedI thought I knew everything about him, but I couldn’t tell if he was sincere or mocking. His response knocked me back. The last thing I expected was for him to have any regard for my feelings. I was sure that he assumed I had no regard for his, not after the way I left.

Novels, Novellas and Short Stories
Published in Book, Vocal MediaMostly I work toward writing novels, but I won’t pad the word count just to hit a goal. Grafton had four stories that I felt were complete, but each was well short of a novel on its own (obviously since the total is under 129k words). So, I use novellas to complete a collection.

So You Want To Write a Book 2
Published in Blogging, Book, In Real LifeThe first thing I do as I begin to write is create a “notebook” in Evernote. There are other note-taking programs or apps that likely work as well… maybe even better… but this is what I use. Then, I begin populating the notebook with the details that I need to track.
