The site (at least, I believe) has been back up and running most of the week, but I’ve been swamped and haven’t had a chance to update on anything. Between allergies and some mysterious blah-ness, my health has really been on the outs with me this week, so it has slowed down all of my [...]

This is my first post from my new website. Pay no attention to it. *This is not the website you’re looking for.* (No, really–it’s not. I’m working on getting the right URL transferred, so this one is only temporary. And the only content on it so far is my LJ content.)

I never really thought I’d ever be in a position to start my own business. I never really liked to think about money–growing up, we never had any to worry about, and in college my money management skills were about equal to Wall Street’s current crisis.

I’m sitting down in my office for the first time in weeks. I’ve been working all sorts of other places for the last few weeks except for my office, because the office has been a downright terror and it doesn’t exactly soothe me to work in a space that has a tarp on the floor [...]

With that in mind, I’m offering a discount for the next month (expires March 11) on my manuscript critique services. Critiques of submission packets (first three chapters and query/cover [...]

I was recently asked to the LDS Storymakers Writers Conference as a guest editor. If you’re LDSĀ or interested in the LDS writing world (including as an LDSĀ author writing for the national market), I hear it’s an excellent conference. (This one will be my first.) As you’ll see from the link I just noted above, my [...]
