I admit it, I'm not great at distancing myself from the writing. I don't mean every book has myself as a character in it (although they all have pieces of me floating around inside their heads), but when it comes to releasing something into the wild and then forgetting it, I can't do it.

Refining Ties is ready for release! Well, in some sense of the word at

Hi there. Isn't Harley pretty? She was having such a great sunbeam nap, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to capture it. Why am I here today, you might ask? Even if you don't, I'm asking for us both. What am I going to ramble about this morning? Is there even anything worth the pitter-patter of these keys? I think so, and if not, I'll find something along the way. First and foremost, the writing update. That's the entire reason this place exists, after all. If I wasn't livin
