The Singing Shore I is now available for preorder!

Hello Everyone! I hope you’re doing well and enjoying your October. Over here we’re having beautiful, if rather dry and dusty, weather. I’ve been amusing myself by photographing fall blooms and posting them on my Instagram feed. Here’s one I took this morning of a neighbor’s zinnia: However, the really, really exciting news is that The Singing Shore I is up for […]

Wolves, Priests, and Heroes: Reading recommendations for books by @hwhittenwrites, @katrossauthor, and @AMJusticewrites

Hello Everyone! Welcome to fall (or spring if you’re in the Southern Hemisphere)! Here in NC it’s slowly becoming somewhat autumnal. Not a lot of fall color yet, but the temperatures the past few days have definitely been cooler than they’ve been in a while. I’m still working away on revising The Singing Shore (you can follow […]

Sneak peek of sinister squirrels

Hello Everyone! It’s certainly warm here. A little too warm, some might say. Although it could be worse. I am trying to enjoy the midsummer flowers as much as possible, given that there’s still a chemical toilet next door filling up the neighborhood with toxic fumes. So mostly I’ve been hiding out inside. But that means I’ve […]

Hot summer deals and cover reveals

Hello everyone! Happy Solstice! This is always one of my favorite times of year, and not just because it’s right around my birthday.

I […]

Last chance to get The Midnight Land I Free! Plus excerpt of The Singing Shore, with pictures

Hi Everyone! I hope you’re having a great May. It’s been surprisingly cool here. That has not prevented the pollen from being released in enormous quantities. I like to think it’s giving my voice a sexy, throaty quality. I suspect it’s actually just making me sound hoarse. I’ve got a jam-packed newsletter today, so I’ll […]

“The Singing Shore” is finished! Sort of.

Hey Everyone! Yes! It’s true! I finished the first draft of The Singing Shore! As you can see, it was a gargantuan task. And there are many more gargantuan tasks left to do before it will be ready to go out into the world. I can’t even begin to guess at a release date at this point. […]

Doggy Drama! Plus the rise of the machines

Hey Everyone! I hope you’re hanging in there with this crazy weather we’ve been having across a lot of the US. Especially if you’re in Texas. Here in NC, it wasn’t nearly that bad, but we did get more freezing rain than we would have liked. Fortunately no major trees went down in my neighborhood, […]

My Favorite Fantasy Books of the Year So Far

Hello Everyone! I hope you are staying safe and healthy and enjoying the new year. I’m still hunkered down pretty well, only going out to take Renee the Italian Greyhound to see her favorite people at the pet food store. She is still trying to recover from her tragic tooth issue and consequent dental surgery […]

Vet Visits and Audiobook Giveaway

Hello Everyone! Goodness, what a week, what a week! I hope you are staying calm and safe in the midst of the maelstrom. I have been doing reasonably well, although there have been some issues. Nothing to do with the madness in DC, but rather with my furry companions. Precious Renee, my Italian Greyhound mix, […]
