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. If you want to experience the Solstice the way it was meant to be experienced (sort of), English Heritage will once again be live-streaming it from Stonehenge Sunday evening and Monday morning, BST. I […]

Free book fair, plus the agony and ecstasy of hardbacks!

Hello Everyone! Such a busy weekend! I hope you’re enjoying it, wherever you are. Let’s see, where to start, where to start…I guess with the announcement that the ebook of The Dreaming Land I: The Challenge is currently free on all storefronts. Second of all, I got invited into a private beta Amazon is running of […]

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, […]

The Midnight Land I is now free on all storefronts

Hello Everyone! I hope you’re staying safe and enjoying the holiday season. I have succumbed to my addiction to online gaming in a very minor way. You see, I got a Jacquie Lawson advent calendar. You might think that’s pretty safe, but noooooooo. If you’ve ever gotten one, you know that they’re fiendishly stuffed with […]

How Spicy Do You Like Your Fantasy Romance?

Hello all! I hope you are enjoying your holiday weekend (if you’re in the US) and not going too crazy with Black Friday madness. I myself may have just bought a new computer (gulp!). My current one had a nasty crash during a storm earlier this month, and so I decided to bite the bullet […]

Pony pictures and NaNoWriMo progress

Happy November, everyone! I hope you are remaining cool and calm–or warm and calm, if the weather is already cold where you are–in this super-stressful period. I am trying to remain relaxed myself and focus on my writing. I’ve got writing-related snippets to share, but first I wanted to share a fun picture. I’ve been […]
