How many unpublished and half-finished books do you have?

April 28, 2020 by Lori

Counting works in progress for current series (as of April 2020)... four. One is the first novel I ever wrote, which may never see the light of day. It's about a man searching for his missing wife. The fact that she's a vampire and he's not just makes things all the more complicated. The other … [Read more...] about How many unpublished and half-finished books do you have?

What I’m Watching: Outlander

April 24, 2020 by Lori

Okay, technically this is what I was watching until I accidentally caught up to where we're at in the current season. All I have to say about that is: I've come to loathe episodic time-gated television. Netflix has spoiled me. I like to binge entire seasons. As a result, I tend to fall behind on … [Read more...] about What I’m Watching: Outlander

How long does it take you to write a book?

April 21, 2020 by Lori

On average, it takes me about 2 months for the first draft. With that said, every book is a little bit different, and some take more or less time than others.

When will Secondhand Magic #2 be out?

April 14, 2020 by Lori

Short answer: I'm not sure. August-ish? Long answer: I'm currently working on Grant Wolves #6, which will be the last book in that series (though I wouldn't rule out more adventures for Dean). Secondhand Magic #2 is the next project on my list. I hope to start it in May/June. … [Read more...] about When will Secondhand Magic #2 be out?

What I’m Watching: The Handmaid’s Tale

April 10, 2020 by Lori

Picked up a free 30-day Hulu subscription recently, and I've been using it to catch up on seasons 2 & 3 of The Handmaid's Tale. I was skeptical about the show continuing past the original book, but they've done a really good job. In case you haven't read the book or watched any of the series, … [Read more...] about What I’m Watching: The Handmaid’s Tale
