I've begun a new post several times. Each one failed to meet my standards to the point I did not bother to save the drafts for a later upload. To try and tell you how I've been this year so far is a long story. If you want the prose version, you can skip on... Continue Reading →
RELEASE DAY BLITZ ANNOUNCEMENT I'm very excited to share Melissa Wright's newest release with you, "King of Ash & Bone". I've been a huge fan of Melissa's work, ever since I picked up the first of her Frey Saga. She has a gift for wit and characterization, and manages to suck me into her fantastical worlds...

NaNoWriMo #1
Hope All Hallow's Eve was a smash hit for everyone! Tonight I'm bucking down to work on my NaNoWriMo attempt while my husband plays Skyrim. Between that and hot cocoa it doesn't get much better. But I'm reminded in just dredging up the courage to write that being real and personal is exhausting. It's far... Continue Reading →
“Untrivial” Things
I made a promise recently to only post things on this site that are honest. So here goes. This year has been insane. Any of you who know me well personally can attest to some of the madness that has been my life. Some of it I brought onto myself, like the getting married bit... Continue Reading →
Tuesday Teaser
Today's teaser comes from revisions to a little project I've been working on the side with Jessica Augustsson. Stay tuned for future posts about this special anthology! The little girl who named me sat on her stool and pressed her hand to the wall, where my hand pushed through. Our fingertips brushed together. A smile... Continue Reading →
Tuesday Teaser
Today's, or rather tonight's teaser features a current re-write. Hopefully I'll have something to show for it by the end of this year. Sometimes the best writing is revisiting past stories, like opening up an old book. It's like turning the pages of an old friend and breathing life back into it. Emrys walked around...

Reaching Farther, Higher, Closer
Tonight I thought I'd just get down and dirty real with y'all 🙂 So beware if you dislike candid, occasionally zany musings from an eccentric chocoholic. Okay, you were warned...I've been reading up everywhere for ways to not necessarily be a better author, but how to make it in this big biz. It seems like everyone is... Continue Reading →
Let It Be
I have not done very much updating here lately. That was in part due to our loverly company we've had staying with us the last two weeks. But it was also in part because I've had some tough health issues the last couple of weeks. I won't go into detail about the what/why/when's but suffice... Continue Reading →
Tuesday Teaser
Today's teaser is from Vynasha part two 🙂 Enjoy 🙂 But it was not her cries that woke her, rather a cacophony of howls and snarls and human shouts rose up seemingly all around her. She rubbed the sleep from her face quickly and gathered the furs closer as she backed against the longhouse wall. Coals... Continue Reading →
Vynasha Love #3
I finished writing the mob scene last night, yay! Now it's on to pack stuff and scenes like the one below. I love visiting Tumblr for inspiration. I never actively update my poor profile. Rather than posting original stuff I almost always share or like things created by others. I'm always in awe of people... Continue Reading →
