Shiny!

Posted on July 1, 2014 by AmyBeth Inverness

If my writing life was ideal, I would have finished the five books in Victoria Pontifex last year, and the five books in Pangalactic Sojourners the year before that. This frustration defines the early years of my career. So many stories in … Continue reading →

Posted on June 24, 2014 by AmyBeth Inverness

So, round 2 of A Round of Words in 80 Days ends Thursday. This one was a wash for me, but round 3 should be very good! This next round will be all about priorities. I have two stories coming … Continue reading →

Just Say N0! I mean YES…I mean…

Posted on June 14, 2014 by AmyBeth Inverness

I’m a proud Steeleworker. No, I don’t climb skyscrapers and eat my sack lunch sitting out on a steel beam ninety stories above the ground (although that does sound fascinating.) I’m a fan of Dayna Steele, radio and television personality, entrepreneur, … Continue reading →

3 Years

Posted on March 12, 2014 by AmyBeth Inverness

It’s 3AM. This is not unusual for me…I’m a natural nightowl. Actually, I’m a second-shifter. Wake up around noon, get stuff done and be active in the afternoon and evening, then have time to myself when I can concentrate uninterrupted … Continue reading →
