Two Year Anniversary

Two years ago this month I started this site, the same month I made the decision to become a professional writer. As if my schedule wasn't already full: I had a full-time job, and a part-time job teaching college. A year and a few months later, I resigned from my full-time job and took on more classes at the college to supplement my writing income. It's been almost a year since I began writing full-time and I couldn't be happier. I think I work more now than I did before! 

So what have I accomplished these last two years? 


I published a novelette, THE FURY, in April 2011
I published PARALLEL, the first in the Travelers Series, August 2011
Then came PARADOX, the second book in the series, in March 2012
A collection of horror shorts, unDEAD DIXIE DEBS, came next in July 2012
And after that, I released PARADIGM, the third book in the Travelers Series in October 2012


If you had told me that I'd have five titles out in two years, I would have laughed. I never could have imagined the amount of success I've had with my stories. And when I say success, I'm not talking book sales (although that's nice too), but rather, the fact that I have accomplished so much in such a short period of time. Of course, none of this would be possible without all the fabulous readers out there...thank you! 

All of my other projects are just icing on the cake: the Travelers Box Set, PARALLEL soon to released on audio, a Travelers short story published... All those things come with the territory I guess and I'm just happy I am able to take the next steps in my writing career. 

So what's next? I hope to have another Traveler's short story out before the end of the year, finish writing PARAMETER, the fourth book in the Travelers Series, and a new YA paranormal series is in the works. 

Again, I couldn't continue working from home in my pajama's, doing what I love, if it weren't for my fans. Thank you's aren't enough, but it's the best I can come up with. Ya'll have made my life much more fun and I only hope my stories have done the same for you.

    1. Thanks! I wouldn't mind a nice Mexia brewski right about now :) I still don't know what I'm doing with the tarot, but since one of my characters does readings, I figured I needed to get myself acquainted with a set!
