Who knew (word) stress could be so stressful?

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. I actually recorded it a couple of years ago, but what with one thing and another, I only edited the first half of it. I’m now (very) slowly editing the second half of it […]

The long-promised Kickstarter is (almost) here!

Hi Everyone! Welcome to the Pollenocalypse! At least if you live in the Southeast of the US. Everything is a slightly sinister of yellow-green, and we can’t stop sneezing. The downside of living in a region with lush tree growth everywhere. Okay, on with the updates. First of all, the thing I’ve been talking about […]

Wait, what’s this about Ireland? Reading and listening recommendations for “When Women were Dragons,” “The EvoAngel,” and the music of @SeoLinn

Hello! Happy 2024! I hope the new year is starting out well for you, and if you’ve been getting any of the wild weather that’s been sweeping through the US, you’ve managed to survive it reasonably well. We had a tornado nearby-ish, meaning in the same general part of the state, but no major damage […]

Cover Reveal and Free Review Copies of “The Midnight Land” Omnibus Edition

Hi everyone! I hope you are all safe and healthy. It’s been quite a month, hasn’t it? Luckily for me, I’ve been able to go into almost total lockdown pretty easily. Others have not been so fortunate. The stories coming out of New York have been very grim indeed. International House, the dorm I lived […]

This post is part of OWS CyCon 2019! Come say hi to us here. For this post I’ve been asked to talk about what makes my fantasy world(s)–because I have several–unique. Happily, this is something I’ve put a lot of thought into! I’ll start with my main fantasy world, which I feature in The Zemnian Series. […]

Yin, Yang, and New Year’s Resolutions That Won’t be Kept (plus more free books!)

Happy 2019, everyone! How is it 2019 already? My 2019 is starting off well-ish, in part because I’m on medical leave. That’s not normally a positive, and I’d much rather *not* have to be on medical leave, but since I do, I might as well look on the bright side. And one of the bright […]

Once again, a huge thank you to everyone who helped in whatever way with the launch of The Dreaming Land I, which was my most successful promo and launch ever! An especially big thanks to those who have provided reviews, and of course reviews can be posted on Amazon at any time 🙂 I’ll be gearing […]

Eowyn and Anna Karenina: Freedom, Responsibility, and Power

Last week those of us in the Carolinas got a reminder of how we’re all connected to everything, including things we’d maybe rather not be, like hurricanes. Nature, as it turns out, is indifferent to those kinds of petty desires. The question of how we are all interconnected, whether we like it or not, and […]
