Ready for a peek at the cover for my It’s In His Kiss short coming out this week? I’m absolutely in love with it. The couple is adorable and the workmanship is just so great. Plus, I’ve always loved blue. I know. But seriously, more stupid things have made us love a cover. So, without further ado, here it is! And, of course, what cover post would be complete without a blurb! Okay, the blurb-in-progress: Jenna’s been letting life pass {Read More}
A Conversation: Publishing & Music
June 18, 2011 by Leave a Comment
I have a friend who is a musician. We met wayyyyy back and sometimes run into one another- which is obviously pretty common in Boston. He’s been in some successful indie bands. Since I started writing a few years back (which he had been heavily in the, it’s about time you got your ass in gear contingency) we’ve had several conversations of quick coffees about the two industries we’ve found ourselves in. His take always surprised me. It was refreshing because it {Read More}
Second Big Step: Editing
June 15, 2011 by Leave a Comment
I hate reading reviews of SP stories where people keep talking about how great the story was… and how bad the editing was. It’s a bit scary. Unfortunately, at this point (and for Short #1) I can’t afford an editor at this point. It just was not an option. But, with all my besties being writers and English teachers, it seemed like a great time to put them to work! So, Short…with it’s new title IT’S IN HIS KISS… is {Read More}
First Big Step: The Cover

I had a deadline rush up for my other world and had to put my Short on hold for a bit. Revisions seem to be working at cross-purposes time wise. But, the other revisions are done, the deadline was met, the next round has been started and so I can play around with my lovely pet project again. I’d wanted to make a cover. We’d designed it and even sucked two friends into being our models. Oh, and explaining to {Read More}
Exploring Goodreads

In my last post I mentioned that I finally found a few self-published books to check out on goodreads. There were a lot, but most of them weren’t Romance (or Rom Coms)… There wasn’t even a Romance discussion group. So, here I am hearing all this amazing stuff from a friend who launched her debut book with some great giveaways on goodreads and wondering what I was going to have to do to use the same great tool. A few {Read More}

Hi all! I’m Caitie. You can all totally call me Caitie 😉 I’m a writer and have been watching the world of Self-Publishing for some time. With permission of my Agent, I’m going to start a little SPing of my own. I thought it would be fun, interesting, and productive to blog about it. Where things are now: I’ve written a Short. It’s cute. I forgot how cute it was. I’ve reworked it a little, taking out a lot of {Read More}
