Last week, I mentioned that I’ve finished the second draft of a new novel. This novel is titled The Archives Alliance, and it’s The Breakfast Club meets The Magicians (more the tv show than the book). Now that’s an elevator pitch, y’all. I’ve got notes done for the 3rd draft. Once I have that 3rd …
So. I recently had an epiphany. Lightning struck my brain, as an infamous hook-handed fellow once proclaimed. For years, I’ve said that I wanted to blog more frequently. Regularly, even.

So. I am truly, without a doubt, the Very Worst Self-Marketer. Why? Because my latest book has been out for weeks and I haven’t said anything. Prolly ’cause depression & anxiety have been getting the best of me. I haven’t been tending to The Babadook as I should. (ICYMI, “Babadook” is the name of my …

I’m gonna try to keep this short <– this is my caveat emptor concerning the fact that I am not going to cover all the bases in this little essay. Essaylet.
