You sit down, with an idea for a story. You've got interesting characters in mind, a theme you're excited to work on, an ending in mind, the catalyst needed for change, now all that's left is how to figure out how to put it all together. I'm in the beginning phase of...

I'm attempting to strengthen my marketing skills, so I've enrolled in some promotions, paid for my book to be shouted out near and far, and I'm checking out websites that promote indie authors. From what I've read, I need a tagline. What is tagline? It's a mission...

I put the finishing touches on Cant' Be Tamed last week and I am now immersed in research for the next book in the series, Remains to Be Seen. There is nothing I like better than digging in and learning new things. Cerridwen Moore is a forensic anthropologist who...
