Apparently, I Have Issues

ChrisPenned Con, Uncategorized, UtopIA, YA

I’m working on what will hopefully be the last round of edits for Trial By Fire, and apparently, I have issues. Okay, I have a lot of issues, but I think that’s normal. At least I hope so. Anyone who doesn’t have issues is a Borg, or a Pod or on mood-altering medication. Anyway, unbeknownst to me, one of my major … Read More

Pinterest is a double edged sword. It’s a magical place where you can find fun, creative ideas which in theory should work. However, most of the time they turn out like these Thanksgiving themed examples below. Have you ever had success with a Pinterest idea?

Netflix Binge Watching

ChrisThe Walking Dead, Uncategorized, young adult

There is something about watching half a dozen episodes of a television show in a row on Netflix that seems indulgent and oddly rebellious.

Sometimes spending a few hours totally sucked into a television series like Supernatural or Doctor Who feels like going on a vacation. If you … Read More

Why Chris Cannon Will Be Joining a Nudist Colony

ChrisReaders, Uncategorized, YA

Yesterday, I went shopping for jeans. This information alone should be enough to make you understand why this rant is entitled: Why Chris Cannon Will Be Joining a Nudist Colony. I foolishly imagined that if I went to Kohls, Sears, Macys, and Dillards I would be able to purchase pants. I tried on over 20 pairs of jeans. As in … Read More

Name that Boyfriend

ChrisPenned Con, Uncategorized, UtopIA, YA

Once I’m done with edits for book 3 in my dragon series, I’m going to finish up a romantic comedy for the Entangled Crush line. Blackmail Boyfriend was my first foray into romantic comedy. I need a title for this new story which also has the word boyfriend in it. Bonus points if it has alliteration of B B. After you … Read More

Car Lot Sticker Shock

Chrishome, Uncategorized, YA

Recently I’ve had the pleasure *insert eyeroll* of shopping for a car. I’ve purchased two cars in my adult life. I drove my first car for 8 years and I’ve had my current car for 12 years. (Which of course means I started driving when I was 5. )  I should also add that both cars were pre-owned. Funny  how that sounds … Read More

I mean *cough cough* I hope you enjoy the jokes I carefully selected way ahead of time for this … Read More

What’s Your Favorite Trope?

ChrisFor Writers, Penned Con, Readers, Uncategorized, UtopIA, YA

Some of you are probably asking, “What the heck is a trope?” Tropes are common themes that run through stories. Tropes tell a reader what to expect. They give them a familiar story which they know will end in a happily ever after. For example, Blackmail Boyfriend is based on the marriage of convenience trope and the opposites attract trope. … Read More
