To celebrate Harper Madigan: Junior High Private Eye’s one year anniversary, the Kindle version is free all weekend–Friday, Saturday, and Sunday–over at Amazon.  And if you don’t have a kindle, you can still download it and convert it to a different file type, if you’re into that kind of thing.

I updated the title on Goodreads, so I thought I’d do an official announcement here! The title is…. THE TRIALS OF RENEGADE X Did I mention I got to see the rough sketch of the cover a while ago?  I don’t think I did, but it is kick ass.  I’m not going to show it […]

I am proud to present the cover and description blurb for one of my upcoming March releases!

So, I’m working on a big overhaul of the site that hopefully I’ll be able to share with everyone soon-ish. If everything goes according to plan, I’m going to be getting rid of WordPress and exclusively using the LJ (but you won’t have to go to a separate site to view it). I’m also developing […]

It was my first brush with a pro journal, and it went a little something like this (actually, it went word for word like this, because I’m copying it directly): Campbell, Chelsea M.

Cross-posted from the Tenners LJ: Okay, so for the past couple weeks I’ve been talking about Sekrit Good News I couldn’t share, but now the wait is over. I tweeted the basics, but here’s the detailed version of the story. A couple weeks ago, before the holiday break, my phone rang. It was Hollywood calling, […]
