Every author out there knows showers and baths can be our greatest source of inspiration for new ideas or plot fixes. However, they don't always comply with the stories we want the idea or fix for.

Ready Or Not, Here Comes Camp NaNo
Does anyone remember me mentioning several times throughout the last three months that my plan was to finish Fated to Darkness before the start of Camp NaNo so I could use Camp to write Clockwork Heart?

You Know You’re An Author When…

We have both disturbing and hilarious Google histories when it comes to research for our books.
