Last week I was having some issues with Createspace shifting some of the features on my cover for the paperback version of Revenants. I contacted their customer service, and within 24 hours, they had emailed me back to tell me that everything looked fine on their end. And then they sent me a free proof … Continue reading Createspace…

Finished… Maybe…
On Sunday I finished editing and formatting on the interior files for The Undying Ones: Revenants and uploaded them all to the appropriate websites. And then I promptly realized that the cover for Createspace wasn't quite right - editing had added two pages to my file and that was just enough to throw things off. … Continue reading Finished… Maybe…
Hump Day
I am finally over the editing hump. I'm currently on chapter 15, with only six more chapters to go. I am hoping that I can get this done by the first, which should give me plenty of trim to order proofs and get the giveaways all set up. I'm really excited about the giveaways - … Continue reading Hump Day
Three
The Boyo turned three this weekend. Three. I can't believe it. It feels like only yesterday that he was this tiny itty bitty thing curled up in his incubator. And now he's this big strong child that's built like a tank, is curious about everything, and is learning new words and phrases all the time. … Continue reading Three
A Return To Magic…
I apologize for not posting last week. Since last Tuesday was my birthday, I decided to take a week off from blogging. However, I did host a giveaway for an ARC of The Undying Ones: Revenants ... that bombed rather spectacularly. As in no one entered it. At all. It's probably my fault. Rafflecopter is … Continue reading A Return To Magic…
A Celebration…
I passed my Real Estate Exam! Woo-hoo! Now to get my fingerprints taken (it's a requirement to get your Real Estate License) and then I can finally get this show on the row! Speaking of getting this show on the row - I reached 50 followers on my facebook page this past week. In celebration, … Continue reading A Celebration…
Fried and Re-fried…
I confess I have no idea what to post about this week. I am stuck deep in the trenches, torn between editing and studying for my Real Estate Exam... which is in two days. Pray for me friends - I'm not sure I'll get through this with my sanity intact. Also, send snacks if you … Continue reading Fried and Re-fried…
A Change in Plans…
Last week, I was formatting a novella that will be a part of a serial series for one of my pen names, when I decided to take a look at Createspace and their publishing services. Bad idea. Bad bad idea. Createspace makes everything so simple that it's a breeze. And I was surprised to realize … Continue reading A Change in Plans…
Something Unexpected…
Yet another week of little to no writing. We are still working on getting the house into listing condition - patching holes left by the previous owner (there was one over the bed that they covered up with a piece of cardboard), patching up holes made by us (from installing the new over the range … Continue reading Something Unexpected…
Going Down the List…
It's been another busy week here in the Olson household. We're currently in the midst of getting the house prepped so it can be listed. Thankfully there's not a whole lot that needs to be done - just touching up the paint, washing the walls, and trying to keep chaos to a minimum. That last … Continue reading Going Down the List…
