Twitter is a blessing and a curse in one, but following the right people makes all the difference. Here’s a list of some of my favorites to follow. Get them on your list, too! Maria Stout (@MariaStout) - I’m a writer, so I really enjoy following other writers, especially upbeat ones who give their all, [...]
It's here! It's here! It's finally here! One of the most highly anticipated moments in any author's journey is getting to see their cover art. My story is no different. I've been anxiously awaiting this beauty for months and I am not disappointed. So without further ado, I present to you...my cover. Like what you [...]
It's time for another Who's Who! Here's a list of people I love to follow on Twitter, and if you're a writer, a reader, or just enjoy ramblings by intelligent, fun people, you should follow them, too! T.S.

Maybe it doesn't quite have the ring of Indiana Jones, but I think Indie Author Storms has a nice sound to it. So why did I decide to go indie and what’s next? I’ve been writing seriously for seven years, querying for four, and have four completed manuscripts—some of them with quite wonderful feedback from [...]

I did a thing yesterday. Actually I did two things. I got to see my name in the byline on a front page article in the local newspaper for the first time. If I thought I was excited about that, imagine how I felt when I saw how many of my friends and family were [...]

We just returned from our trip to Prince Edward Island and, friends, I have fallen. I have fallen deeply, madly in love. All vacations are lovely, but none of them have ever left me with a desire to relocate my entire family as soon as humanly possible. I loved the Bahamas and Jamaica. England and [...]
There’s a job opening in a microbiology laboratory where I used to work. I’ve said often to friends and family how much I missed working in the micro lab, how much fun the testing could be, how interesting the job. And yet… I have no less than four headhunters who have emailed me about this [...]
