Read more "The Kickstarter for “The Midnight Land” is now live!"Happy last day of May! I hope you’re doing well. I’ve been (very) slowly making progress on the audiobook of The Midnight Land.

Those are both great holidays celebrating great fantasy (let’s be honest: Star Wars and Hitchhiker’s Guide are both fantasy) worlds, but I want to take a moment to celebrate one of my personal favorite fantasy worlds: Terre d’Ange.

First of all, the thing I’ve been talking about […]
Read more "The long-promised Kickstarter is (almost) here!"Just as Slava was rising to return to her rooms, Yarmila Kseniyevna came up and, bowing, said that the Empress wished to see her. “My sister?” said Slava, startled. “Wishes to see me?” Having just been subjected to a display of the ill results of marriage, Slava’s first thought was that her sister was attempting […]

Read more "Major twist I did not see coming"Plus a peek at the psyche of my most obstreperous heroine Hi All! I hope you’re having a good August. After a Tatooine-like start to the summer here in NC, we got hit by a wave of storms, including a hurricane, which has transformed our desert into a slime-mold-covered swamp. I half-expect to see Yoda […]
