Author of The Relics of War, The Caein Legacy, & Wraith and the Revolution
2026 has brought some new experiences so far I knew going into 2026 that I was stepping into new territory with my writing projects. And it wasn’t just the work situation—and my decision a few months later to seriously start making writing a full-time gig. There were other things coming this year that were completely […]
Celebrating Human Artists My social media feeds have been packed with anti-AI posts for months now, but I recently realized something. With all the discourse going on about how bad AI is for the environment, how it’s taking jobs, and hurting human creators, there have been very few posts in my feed actually celebrating those […]
The Worldbuilder Diaries: My approach to dragons Love them or loathe them, dragons (and their kin) are a fixture in the fantasy genre. From ancient myths to Tolkien to modern authors, dragons are a recurring theme and something I think many people are fascinated with. I’m guilty of that fascination myself, and I’ve written my […]
Last Call: The Book of Spores (Kickstarter Edition) I know it has been a while since I last mentioned The Book of Spores short story collection here on my blog, but I was notified today that the late backer store for the Kickstarter campaign will be closing on July 16, 2026 (this Thursday.) At this […]
How The Fontayne Company got its start A few years ago (I believe it was 2023), my husband and I were watching TV after dinner, and he randomly chose to watch a show called Spooked Ireland. It’s your stereotypical ghost-hunting show, with vague evidence that something paranormal “might” be there, but with no solid proof […]
June 19 is World Sickle Cell Awareness Day For those who are newer followers to my blog, sickle cell is a topic near and dear to my heart, and it’s a condition that far too few people are aware of. I’ll touch on the basics here, then include a more in-depth section lower for the […]
I’m going to stop talking about The Mage War Chronicles for a while… Since January, I’ve been revising and rewriting the previously-drafted books in The Mage War Chronicles, which is a series I will definitely publish one day. But I need to stop talking about that series here for a while, because it is not […]
The Mage War Chronicles: A Status Update I’ve been working through The Mage War Chronicles again, but this is the first time I’ve looked at more than one book in succession. I think I mentioned earlier in the year (January maybe?) that I was planning to work through this in-process series while I have the […]
Typos, Glitches, and Postal Fails: The Unexpected Quirks of Publishing a Book At this point in my authoring career, I’ve published 10 full-length novels, 1 novella, 1 short story, and now, an anthology. While I’ve ironed out most of the issues I ran into early on, there are still so many things that can go […]
End of May sales: Revolutions and Sci-fi Bundles (Now through May 31, 2026) I can’t believe it’s already the end of May! But with that, comes a couple sales. May the Fourth Sci-Fi Bundle on Itch.io 23 books for a minimum of $10 is a steal, but that’s what’s happening with this bundle. Wraith and […]
