πŸŽ‰ It’s LAUNCH DAY!
Ghost in the Attic is officially out now on Kindle!
Hiding in an attic after being framed for murder wasn’t on Angela’s college to-do list. Neither was teaming up with a vampire.
But here she is, dodging assassins, exposing monsters, one step at a time.

What words do you overuse and don't notice until you edit?
In my debut novel, the protagonist yawned a lot. In the sequel, another character snorted a lot. I'm now editing my eighth book and a character smirks a lot πŸ™„
I have an annoyingly large amount of smirks to wipe out. #writing

If you're looking for an urban fantasy series that deals with a treasure hunt (different treasure in each book), I recommend Thrill of the Hunt by Helen Harper. I finished book 3 of the series, and loved it. It has magic, blooming romance, found family, and dry humor. #urbanfantasy

This is a teaser for my WIP, Ghost in the Attic, an urban fantasy standalone.

Hunted. Framed. Trapped.
Angela Castillo is on the run for a murder she didn’t commit. She hides in an abandoned attic, aiming to clear her name and expose the killer. When a dangerous man moves across the street, she should run. Instead, she makes a deal with the devil. #vampirebook #urbanfantasy

I love you writing tips. Working on draft three of my WIP, and I used your advice on describing characters while they talk to polish my dialogue heavy scenes. I'll keep this tip in mind for my next book too.

Yeah, that happens. πŸ˜‚. A random chapter popped out in my WIP, too, although it's an anomaly.
Anyway, that day, I only managed one chapter, and yesterday, I wrote 500 words. Today, I'm fighting a migraine, so it doesn't look good either. Good writing days and bad days intermingle.

Meet "Bacon" my writing buddy. My daughter made it for me.
I started the first draft of Ghost in the Attic on November 11, and now I'm at the mid-point.

Short. 1500-2000 words. But I'm trying something new for this book: I made a summary for each scene, so I know exactly what needs to happen in each chapter. I've never written so fast before. I started 3 weeks ago, and I have 39k words. No writer's block, either.

I tried, but couldn't last more than two episodes. Not my cup of tea.

I am. I'm halfway through Ghost in the Attic and I'm trying to write daily (except weekends). But tomorrow I have some errands to run and I might not have much time to write, so I'm trying to compensate today. I'm hoping to write at least one new chapter (although, secretly I'm aiming for two).

I'm running a #BlackFriday Sale. But because kdp felt a bit mischievous, not all my book deals start at the same time. But the good part is that the sale will last for a week. You can check it out, but I'll make sure to announce it again once they are all live www.summonfantasy.com/blog/chimera...

My first encounter with paranormal fiction was Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris. That's when I fell in love with vampires, and shifters and all things fantasy. I've been addicted ever since. And one day, I decided to start writing my own stories.

Update
I reached the midpoint of my story, Ghost in the Attic. Chapter 20 is Guilty Pleasures and Bloodshed. Yesterday I got distracted and didn't write a single word, but today was a good day. I wrote about 3000 words. #amwriting
