RITA ® Award-Winning Author of Fantasy Romance
//My topsy-turvy, exhausting week, introducing exciting new changes to this podcast and my social media – welcome Sydney! – and why GRRM being at 70% now and 70% three years ago doesn’t mean no progress.
//Why I think this minor celebrity cis het white guy getting a Romantasy book deal is actually a good thing – certainly not a new thing. Also successful furniture shopping and a good long weekend for me!
//An annoying tussle with Findaway Voices flagging my very human narrator as digital for STRANGE FAMILIAR, with no recourse to object. It is live on Audible and Kobo though! Also, I may be reversing my insistence on writing with discipline and instead embracing the creative urge and writing what you want to!
//My week of well-refilling and alternate-achieving. Being a career creative and balancing that output with business decisions/responsibilities and keeping ourselves healthy and happily creating.
//Why I’m participating in VOW for Girls to stop child marriage, thoughts on donating (& why you don’t have to), joy, best ways to build and refine craft, why I don’t journal, and how I’m a Swiftie forever.
//The RELUCTANT WIZARD audiobook is available wide! Preorder NEVER THE ROSES at B&N for 35% off today only! Also, my editorial meeting, participation in VOW for Girls, and the unbearable loudness of casita-building.
//On being a creative in a tech-driven culture and how tech has shaped how we deliver our art. Also, embracing our emotions as valid and valuable, needing certain conditions to work, and how all of this affects choosing titles.
//I’m talking about what it means to live in interesting times and how we grow the ability to handle disruptions in our lives, great and small. Also the importance of cultivating joy and making kindness louder.
//Thoughts on feeling traumatized that it’s January 6th and what I’ve discovered about how art can help give us perspective. Also, a truly ASTONISHING discovery that has moved my productivity to a whole new level!
//My appliance-drama-filled weekend, pet-drama-filled Monday, a happy resolution to previous pet-drama, my great character flaw, and how a robust backlist not only is the best marketing, but continues to provide income in lots of ways.
