Stories are getting done!
I know you have been waiting and I feel like these have taken FOREVER! But the rough draft of two of the three books are done which means they are headed to beta readers soon. Then I'll try to finish up the final book and get a kickstarter going. It feel slike the...
I am alive!
I know, I know, I am the worst at doing this, but I have a new system that might work where I do my blogs. So... I'm writing, like a LOT. Hopefully there will be new books, maybe if you are very luck and I am VERY focused by Christmas. The first three are a trilogy...
Series Finale and Grief
I've talked a lot about grief and that you don't compare it or that grief doesn't always come from death, sometimes it is from things ending or being lost: a marriage, bankruptcy, being fired. You grieve over those things also. But I wasn't expecting the depression...
Busy Spring
A lot has been going on at BAP. There is the next book in the Twisted Luck series by Mel Todd coming out May 26th and then a stand alone in the Dual Casters world called PuppetMaster also by Mel Todd. We are working on getting our shop up and running effectively so...
The only constant is change.
If you follow my newsletters (and really you should be, I share stories) you know that I became a full time author at the beginning of this year. Already I can see the benefits and stresses over it. Technically I'm sick today, and I gave myself a sick day, yet I'm...
I have the best friends
I'm one of those people who have a few friends but I tell you, they rock. One of my best friends had to move, so she isn't in town anymore and we only see each other about 1-2 times a year which isn't enough. But she sent my my Christmas present Monday (12-13) and...
20 Books to 50K Vegas
Vegas was interesting. Loud, bright, smokey, but I got to meet a bunch of authors in person that I had wanted to meet. Plus I got to hang with old friends and restrengthen connections. All of this was great. I'm still torn as to what else I learned, some of it is...

Drafted Luck
I've been pretty quiet about what is going, mainly because I'm so BUSY! Really. I'm trying to write a reader magnet, get Faded Luck up and going well, trying to decide if I want to whip together a short story, and deal with editing Drafted Luck. Down time is what...
Another DragonCon21 post and Public Service Announcement
As Mel stated in her last post, Bad Ash Publishing has returned from DragonCon 2021. We clocked some serious mileage this year moving between...
Dragoncon Survived!
Dragoncon After Action Report. Wow - just wow. I've been going to Dragoncon since 2003 I think. And while I've always had fun, this year I achieved all my goals and then some. Full disclosure, the past 15 years or so (figure until about 2015) I was going to have fun,...
My Writing Life
There is a large chunk of us that remember a TV series called "My So-Called Life" and it was where we first met the actress Claire Danes. I will freely admit I don't need to worry about .... Okay I was going to say if my parents like my boyfriend or peer pressure...
