Springtime Is Almost Here!

As you may have guessed from following me all these years I am not a big fan of winter. (Do you remember the Alaska years? I remember the Alaska years. *shudders*) The cold weather knocks me down and I want to hibernate. I sit in my office, under a blanket,…

Happy Release Day To ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS A CRYPTID!

ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS A CRYPTID is out today! This year’s All I Want For Christmas installment could be set to Taylor Swift’s ‘I Can Do It With A Broken Heart’ because Phoebe? She’s all rage. She’s been hurt before and she wants to be left alone, but…

Let’s Play Catch Up!

Somehow – SOMEHOW – it’s almost December and ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS A CRYPTID is hitting shelves in a week! This year has been a whirlwind and November somehow snuck past me. With as busy as things have been it feels like a good time to update the…

What To Do When You Don’t Know What To Do

It’s Monday morning and I ought to be writing. I really should. I have deadlines. I promised my editor Fleet of Malik Book 3 by January. I have impatient crit partners wondering when I’m going to hand the manuscript over. And yet… here I am. Monday morning. Eleven A.M.. Staring…

Emergency Preparedness and 72-Hour Kits

Cover Reveal: ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS A CRYPTID

A cartoon of a smiling woman with a blueberry purple shirt, dark red hair, and a sun hat standing in front of snow-capped mountains and the name Liana Brooks beside her head in pink. This looks like a snippet of the cover for a book.

The Difference Between “I Want To Be” And “I Am”

Do you know what the major difference between a published author and an unpublished author is? Quitting. That’s, by and large, the only difference. The people who quit mid-first draft, the people who quit after their first query rejection, the people who quit before they write anything… they probably could…

Giving Yourself Room To Think

Long time readers have probably noticed the dearth of blog posts this year. And that’s because it’s been a very difficult year. Between surgeries, health issues, and the stage of life I’m in there hasn’t been much room for slowing down or writing. Or even thinking. So I gave myself…

Hello, June! (it’s almost July?)

Somehow I blinked and we went from early May to mid-June. School has ended. The college kids are home on break. We’re packing bags. There’s a possibility that my kids will see four countries in the next four weeks (and three of them are guaranteed three countries in three weeks)….
