Blog postUPDATE: this situation has been remedied!
I've got good news and I've got bad news. The good news is CLAIMED comes out on October 13th; the bad news is it's a coin toss as to whether or not it'll be available at Amazon. Amazon is having technical issues that are affecting quite a large backlog of new books. This is happening not just to me and CLAIMED, but to many authors and their titles. In a nutshell, many authors are finding their new titles stuck in "Pre-Order Publishing" -

Blog postApparently my numbering system for the Trek serial is aggravating to y'all so I'm republishing it with straight forward numbering (1, 2, 3, etc.) As an example, Dementia used to be book 5.5 and is now book 7; Devilish Dot used to be book 6.5 and is now book 9.
For those of you who bought the serial on Kindle, switching out the covers to reflect the appropriate numbering is pretty simple. You just go to your Kindle book library, see which ones have updates, and click that you want the updat -

Blog postWhile I write most Trek Mi Q'an installments in such a way that they can stand alone, No Way Out: Dari is a definite exception. Not only do I encourage new readers to read its 11 predecessors, but I also encourage longtime readers to re-read the books leading up to this one. The plot is very intricate, which will guarantee several "aha!" moments if you're well versed in Trek, but which may seem like ordinary moments if you're not. Additionally, several old characters come back into pla

Blog postComing March 3, 2020
It took me three YEARS to write this installment! Not only because of my disabilities, though they were definitely contributing factors, but also because of the sheer intricacies of the plot this story demanded. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it :-) Tina/Jaid xx
Coming March 3, 2020
This next exciting installment in the Trek Mi Q'an universe tells the story of Princess Dari Q'ana Tal and High Lord Gio Z’an Tar. Picking up where its predecessor (No Way Out: Kari) -
Blog postI'm trying to figure out what y'all find more helpful: italicization every time you encounter an alien word, no italicization, or a hybrid of the two wherein italics are not used for certain established words centered around time and space. Please pick which of the excerpts below is easiest for you to follow! My thanks in advance :-) Tina/Jaid
A) After the washing was done, Dari moved to a vesha-bench near to her bathing hole. Two Kefa slaves rubbed exotic oils onto her skin whilst an -
Blog postI've fallen a couple months behind schedule on L&S's publication date because, try as I might, I'm having one helluva time transcribing it from my Kindle Fire into a Word document. I tried speech-to-text, but apparently my English isn't precise enough (lawd!) I tried transcribing it by hand, but my eyes can't take it for more than brief spurts. All that said, I do have a plan!
In January—likely the latter part of it—my BFF Nick is coming to visit me. Thankfully, he has agreed to transc -
Blog postIs anybody else as freaked out as I am by all the blasphemy coming out of that psycho's mouth lately? Granted, he always is saying something that guarantees a migraine, but this "I am the chosen one" utterance—while looking up at the sky no less!—has me creeped out. Coupled with his retweeting of a post from an alt-right conspiracy theorist who referred to him as "King of the Jews" and "The Second Coming of God"...
I. Am. Freeeeeaked!

Blog postFor those of you who can remember wayyyy back to when I went through a home invasion while living in Venice Beach, CA, this post will make sense. For those who don't remember the burglary, I'll give you the Cliff Notes version so it makes sense to you too:
Came home early from DBT therapy to a burglary in progress → Was confronted by an intruder who attempted to knock me down → Damn near shit my pants → Thief got away with my laptop, iPad, and some jewelry → On my laptop were 11 manuscript -
Blog postI was updating the appearance of my blog to make it easier on the eyes and—BOOM!—your comments and my replies to them went bye-byes. At any rate, I just wanted to put what happened out there so no one thinks I deleted their comment/s.

Blog postoriginal mock-up of SKAI just read the various online synopses and viewed the trailer for Killers Anonymous. Bluntly speaking? I feel sick to my stomach. RS Stansbury—my (sometimes) screenwriting partner—and I were robbed by Lionsgate. KA is a little too similar for comfort to our screenplay SKA or SERIAL KILLERS ANONYMOUS. The synopsis at IMDb even uses me and my writing partner's "circle of trust" in its description. The distrust between the killers, the dark humor, the Russian, the

Blog postSherrilyn KenyonI just heard about Sherri Kenyon's contempt of court charge...
Uggh.
We seriously need a new justice system that actually offers—call me crazy here, but—JUSTICE?! I've known Sherri for years and years; the judge should be (but won't be) ashamed of himself.
Apparently Sherri got "too emotional" in court so the judge threw her in jail for 10 days. I know firsthand how it feels to be demonized and lied about by the opposing side in a lawsuit—and how -
Blog postLulabelle: 3/15/05 - 3/16/19Today—until God only knows when—is going to be tough. Lula has blessed my life with her love for and attachment to me ever since she was weaned from her Pug mom. I still remember the day I brought her home fourteen years ago... how small, delicate, and adorable she was. I had purposely chosen the so-called "runt" of the litter and, indeed, she could fit in the palm of one hand :-) That said, and as any human mommy of a runt will tell you, she also grew to be

Blog postI will never, ever put the cart before the horse again. As much as I wanted to finish HG for a Feb release, I simply couldn’t stay well enough—or cognitively focus enough—to make that desire become reality. I know I’ve done this in the past before, but I won’t do it to you again. I always mean well & have good intentions, but I’ve now learned it’s best to keep my mouth shut.
I’m sorry everyone. I sincerely am. Every time my health takes a step forward, I swear it then leaps 2 gig -

Blog postHappy New Year!
First, what hasn't changed:I still detest Traitor Trump & Complicit Pence... or, as I prefer to call them, Moron Man & Church Lady 😏The wall is still facepalm stupid.Shitty health.No medical insurance.
Now, what has changed:I recently became ill to the point of having to be hospitalized. Cleveland Clinic was truly wonderful to me; I can't thank them enough for all they did during my week long stay—and all that they continue to do without financial comp -
Blog postI haven't celebrated Independence Day since 2016. I know I'm not alone in that regard because this is the second 4th of July in a row marked by a noticeably dismal quiet. No one of my acquaintance is hosting—or even having—a barbecue. Nobody who lives near me has set off a single firework. For all intents and purposes today feels like any other Wednesday. There is no laughter echoing through the valley, no loud music, no shared bond of hope and nostalgia with friends and strangers alike. Althoug

Blog postA few announcements...
FacebookI will be deleting my Facebook account and Facebook author page over the course of the next couple of months. The author page will go first because I have far less on it to download that isn't already backed up. My main account—uggh. That one will take some work! My decision to leave Facebook came after learning (a) I was one of the affected parties Cambridge Analytica took data from and (b) reading multiple press reports concerning Zuckerberg's recent cozyin -
Blog postIt's a year past schedule, but the sequel to The Yuge Wall of Jina: It's Bigly is finally out! 😁 The synopsis and purchase links follow below:
I had a life in the Normal States of America— a wonderful, safety-pin-awesome, it just doesn't get better than this kind of existence. As a successful artiste, beloved daughter, and one of New York City's most desirable catches, no woman could have asked for more. And then in the year 2073, he came along...
One moment my life was ne -
Blog post$6.99 eBookI know my readers are waiting for sequels in 2 of my fiction series, but given the iffy state of my health this is the one book my conscience dictated I finish ASAP. It releases Feb 1st under my birth name so... fait accompli.
For 1.5 years I've been studying this man; what the media (and ourselves) have been describing as "spinelessness" in the Speaker of the House is turning out to be anything but. Paul Ryan's behind-the-scenes actions are cold, methodical, and revea -
Blog postMany (if not most) of you know I've been dealing with a lot of issues. My physical health has been touch and go for several years now and, to be blunt, has worsened. I was finally able to get Obamacare (and thereby my $1000 a month pharmaceutical needs covered) only to have congress pass a tax bill into law that will likely cause me to lose coverage by October. That said, Glaxo-Smith-Kline has been great about providing me with my most expensive (and unfortunately most necessary) lung medicine f

Blog postCall your senators TODAY as soon as you wake up—the Republicans are expected to pass Trump/Ryan-care as early as today. Democratic senators don't even know what's in the bill, much less us, the American public.
