Tap, tap, tap. Hello?
Well, hello. Is anyone still out there? I find I have so little to say these days, and I've become woefully deficient at keeping up with my blogs. I'm hoping to change that soon, but for now, I simply must accept that what is, is. That said, people seem to be enjoying my last book, … Continue reading Tap, tap, tap. Hello?
Oh, there you are…
The first three books of the Memory's Muses series I can't believe how long its been since my last post. Sorry to leave you hanging out there in cyberspace. I'm sure you've been missing me... (or not. You probably have your own life stuff going on). Anyway, I've been busy writing the new series! And … Continue reading Oh, there you are…
The smell of books and worn carpet
When I was about eleven, my mom worked at an autobody shop in the desert. On summer break I didn’t want to stay home, but I couldn’t exactly go to work with her, either.

For all that we’ve had to remain at home, isolated and imprisoned to some degree by fear, both for ourselves and others, there remain … Continue reading Your story matters too
Slapped with a muddy word rag
Ah, writing. The cold mistress who beats you with a wet, muddy rag, who demands your words but refuses to help you find them. She of the thesaurus and writers guides and copy editing ilk. She’s really mean. And that’s who I’m blaming for not writing right now. I was writing, before I started on … Continue reading Slapped with a muddy word rag
On a planet far, far away…
One year ago, I wrote a blog about the book I was working on, Spinning Tales. It's a fairy tale about fairy tales, and it came out this year. It was fun to write urban fantasy that also left this world behind and then continued to jump back and forth. Tonight I finished the edits … Continue reading On a planet far, far away…
A lesbian writer? Or just a writer?
To label or not to label...the lesbian question.
