Author of Hunted, The Relics of War, The Caein Legacy, & The Mage War Chronicles
How Many Worlds…? This post was spawned from a question my husband posed. He asked, “How many worlds have you created so far?” one morning as we were getting ready for work. I didn’t have an immediate answer, other than to say, “A lot.” But it got me thinking… How many worlds have I created […]
Why I Write This was inspired by the difficulty I often have at concisely conveying my experience as a writer. I often see people ask on social media, “Why do you write?” For me, it isn’t so much as a want, but a need. The urge is always there, just beneath the surface, inescapable. To […]
Reader Question: Is there a character from your books you would not want to meet in real life? I received this question from someone in my Facebook group a few weeks ago, and while it at first seems straightforward, my answer is a bit complicated. There are a few reasons why I wouldn’t want to […]
Reader Question: When you write, do your characters physically “talk” in your head? To begin with, I posed a question to my private Facebook group earlier in the month: I was expecting responses about characters, upcoming plot lines for the trilogy I’m releasing, and the like.

Hunted: Two Months In It has been almost two months since Hunted was released, and I have had some great feedback on the book which I wanted to share with you all. I think my favorite response so far came over the past weekend, when one of my good friends called me. Before I could […]
Reader Question: Do you actively go out and seek ideas about which to write or do you rely on life to provide those possibilities? I have been meaning to get to this question for a few weeks now, and am glad that I can sit down and take the time to finally address it. I […]
Reader Question: When did you decide to become a writer, or is it something you’ve always done? It has been a few weeks (maybe longer) since I last addressed a reader’s question on my blog. As many of you know, I’ve been busy promoting Hunted, but today I wanted to take a break from that […]
