  • It’s available!

    Yes, I know Fury’s Death just came out, but I’m still excited to tell you that Chosen, my next book, is now available for pre-order. This one was fun to write and pushed me out of my comfort zone. I hope you like it. (Released in September) Climate change moved…

  • To see it is to feel it

    I started life like a lot of kids do. Born to a teenage parent, apartment in the ghetto, etc. We moved a lot, and one consistent thing that stayed with me was my love of reading. Anything and everything I could get my hands on. It wasn’t only that books…

  • And…delete.

    It’s that all important first page. Where do you begin the story?

  • Ordered thoughts, in brief

    When coherent thought fails, use a list. 1. Meeting new people can be scary. 2. And really fun. 3. Baking is for the brave. 4. Eating said baking perhaps more so. 5. Being handed a copy of the book you have a story in feels really cool. 6. Knowing your…

  • Happy New Year from a sloth-hermit

    I’ve read that people don’t want to constantly read about an author’s book/writing stuff. They want to get to know the author on another level. I’m pretty sure I’m just a ground floor, studio apartment. There aren’t a whole lot of levels to me. I don’t have pets because we…

  • Wow

    I’m not a big review reader. I’m too thin skinned, you see. Much thinner, and you’d see my inner workings like a clock’s. The last negative review I read kept me from writing for the next three months. I’ve found that some people can be very cruel, and some reviews…

  • Gifts of the Bookish Kind

    I’m heading into the resolution phase of the first draft of Chosen, out next year. It’s a new genre for me, and it’s pushing me hard. Today, Robyn gave me this lovely gift. It’s glass, with the date I signed my contract. I love it. We do this for each…

  • Water skiing naked.

    The big news comes first: they’ve accepted it. It’s not a dream.  You’re going to be a published author.  Lots of people have supported you to that moment. You’ve talked with other writers, commiserated over copious amounts of coffee and far too many slices of cake. Your friends told you…
