My Approach to NaNoWriMo 2018: Finding Inspiration This Year

Message from Marilyn Vix: Beware of Pirate Sites with MY BOOKS!
So, it's come to my attention that there are pirate sites out in cyberspace that have listings for my books. Which is kind of sad. It shows disrespect for the authors and how much work is put into a novel or novella. Loads of hours and sometimes years of work, stolen. But many of these … Continue reading Message from Marilyn Vix: Beware of Pirate Sites with MY BOOKS!
