It’s gotten a bit dusty and cobwebby around here! Confession Time I have a confession to make: I’ve been hanging out with my old nemesis, Burnout, for way too long. I won’t go into the gory details, but I went for too many months not writing or doing anything particularly creative. I was in survival mode. But that’s not why […]
Disclaimer: My mother would not approve of the language (or the abundance of snark) to follow. Sometimes you have to use very small words to get your point across. Still here? Cool. A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a manifesto on breaking out of that Smart-OR-Pretty-OR-Strong box women find themselves shoved into in […]
I wrote this story for the Terrible Minds Flash Fiction Challenge. The goal was to write 1000 words on the Rise of the Phoenix. I went a little over word count, but sometimes that’s what the story requires. For fans of my Faelands books, this story also serves as a hint of things to come […]

I’ll admit, I didn’t buy a Kindle until sometime last year. And I’m a fan. But my first eReader was a Barnes & Noble Nook. I still have it, although these days I have to pry it out of one of the older kids’ hands if I want to use it! I’ve gotten several requests […]
I admit, I’m completely fan-girling over this cover reveal! Karri Klawiter (who also designed the covers for Daughter of Oreveille and Defender of Oreveille) has a selection of pre-made covers available, and I’ve had my eye on this one for almost a year. I don’t know if it was sitting there in my subconscious when […]
There’s a new novella in the Oreveille Cycle. It’s sitting right here on my hard drive. If you’ve already subscribed to my newsletter, check your email to see the gorgeous cover and a little bit about why I had to stop and write this story, in the middle of editing Defender of Oreveille. If you’re […]

Congratulations to Moriah and Heather – your books are signed and ready to ship. 🙂 If […]
Several weeks ago, I received an invitation to join the Alexandria Publishing Group – a collective of independent writers who hold themselves to professional standards in craft, editing, and promotion. I am truly honored to be counted among these talented and dedicated authors! Every year the Alexandria Publishing Group produces a winter anthology containing stories […]
