The Week That Was
Hello Nightmares! It has been an absolutely FANTASTIC week in the writing world. This week I managed to get out 15 000 words of The Culling, my new story that will be coming out soon, and I only have 4000 words to go before I can begin the editing process! The chapters are being sent to the Beta Team this week for checking - I'm really nervous because I feel this book is a LOT different from my previous ones, but that's good right? If you're wanting a sneak peak here is this

Birthdays, Fundays and Bookdays
Happy Sunday Nightmares! This has been one hell of a two weeks! That's right! It's been two weeks since my last post! Can you believe it!!! Where was I?

A Viking Thing... Among other things.
Well, this has certainly been an exciting weekend! Toni and I, the Alternative Authors, attended "A Viking Thing" that was hosted by AlterEgos Events at La Vue Guest Lodge in Muldersdrift. It was a misty morning when the Alternative Authors docked their long boats at La Vue Guest Lodge. Situated between breakfast and dessert, we prepared ourselves for a feast to rival all feasts, a festival that would be spoken about for ages to come. We, the wise women who scribe tomes, woul

When an Author hasn't got words
This week has been a long and busy week in my life. Not only did I have a ton of day job things to get through, I also had a ton of author things to do as well. Hit that up with not feeling like myself this week, saying goodbye to a good friend (and good luck in South Korea) and trying to figure out what my next step is... well I'm pooped. A lot of exciting things have happened this last week in terms of other authors work! I'm super glad to be able to share my thoughts throu

Author Things & Release Day
Good Evening my Nightmares! Well that's another week done and dusted, and what week it has been again! It just seems that the more I write the busier I get, which is the best thing ever! I am so excited for what 2018 holds for me, and of course, for you! There are so many great stories I want to release this year! It is just the best feeling ever! But for now, this week! This week held a few author related things for me but the two biggest ones were a great takeover for the
