Author, Designer, and Full of Imagination
So I’ve been querying a few agents for Underland and for some reason *pulls hair out*, Gmail is turning my copy purple. In addition, the last one I had forgotten I had left an attachment on the email before sending, so she’ll get the first 10 pages, even though she wasn’t supposed to. Well, hopefully […]
I had been on the fence about putting in a new cover for my novel, Lady From Day, but decided that having a face would probably encourage more readership. I did the same with the companion piece, finding stock photos that were in a similar style and then applying 3 different layers for the background […]
Unfinished, I decided to take a look at The Great Marriage of Lunamae for a brief amount of time. I decided to re-read it so I could reacquaint myself with the characters because I fully intend on finishing it shortly. I don’t like leaving projects unfinished, especially when they have potential. I think, coming out of NaNo, […]
I found it in my doc files from 2004. The road seemed to go on for miles and miles. It was a small dusty road heading towards town, cleaned only by the occasional tumbleweed blowing past. In the past, it was used as an escape route for menacing outlaws and brigands, seeing its fair share […]
:60 Ad. This hasn’t been produced yet, but if the peoples at the Ohio Renaissance Festival are interested in using it, we can work out something I’m sure. Stealing is bad, bad bad, so don’t do that. I will find you and hunt you down with a pitchfork. Ohio Renaissance Festival Commercial – April Sadowski […]
And you wonder where I come up with all these “novel” ideas. My dreams are just plain weird sometimes. My dream last night was trippy. I was driving through a haunted neighborhood in an Indian reservation in South Dakota (the buildings were in Tudor style) and drove into a building (but somehow, not literally), got […]
I came up with the general idea of my new novel for this year. It happened upon my mind during the New Years Eve service at church as I was watching the firelight flickering in their holders above the pews. Here’s the tentative artwork that I came up. I really am in love with the […]
“Hello Hortie,” Lizzie said, remembering to use Hortensia’s preferred nickname of choice. “Your books are amazing.” “I didn’t know you read…or liked to read, rather,” Hortensia said, stumbling over trying to not accidentally insult the girl’s intelligence. What she had meant to say was that she had never seen her with any books during her stay with her. Of course, […]
When I originally finished Lady From Day, I had absolutely no intention of publishing it directly myself. A year later I started on my first NaNo novel, which (as it was easier) was built on the world of Orinda (the second “tale”). I had considered self-publishing Lady From Day at that point, as The Great […]
