Some Thoughts on Writing Kye’s Sibling Dynamics Let me preface this post with a little something about me: I love writing sibling stories, but most of the time, the main character is the oldest (like Andrew) or a twin (like Chandra.) It’s pretty rare that I write a younger sibling as a main character, and […]
Kye Verex and his genetics (and mine) When I first outlined Wraith and the Revolution, I didn’t know how to make it so that Kye was basically stuck on his home world. I needed some reason for him to be both ineligible for space travel and desperate enough to accept the heavy-handed contract he was […]
1st Person vs. 3rd Person: Choosing a Perspective The idea for this post was prompted by a recent review I got for Serpentus, in which the reviewer mentioned they don’t typically like 1st person POV books in fantasy (though they liked how I wrote mine, yay!), and went on to say that Serpentus needed to […]
Wraith and the Revolution Cover Reveal Yesterday marked a day I’ve been waiting on for about ten months. I finally shared the cover artwork for my upcoming science fiction novel, Wraith and the Revolution! But in case you missed all the social media posts, here it is: About Wraith and the Revolution Synopsis: Kye Verex […]
The Worldbuilder Diaries: Languages and Communication I wouldn’t say I have anything that unique in my stories by way of languages or communication methods, but I do have a couple things worth highlighting. Disclaimer: I’m not a linguist by any means, and while I know a tiny bit of Spanish, it’s not really enough to […]
My Plans for 2025 Happy New Year! I hope all you readers out there are doing well. 2024 wasn’t too bad for me, all things considered, but I’m glad it’s over. Mostly, I’m glad the health issues I was dealing with are in the past and I’m thankful I’ve made a full recovery. And I’m […]
A Recap of 2024 This year started out as so many others: I had goals, and plans to reach them. Things were generally good at the start. But life decided to throw a few curveballs my way. I didn’t accomplish as much as I’d planned because of it, but I’m still here, I’m feeling better […]
The Worldbuilder Diaries: Fantastical Locations Last week I discussed the worlds I’ve created, but within those worlds are some pretty unique locations. Some are based on real-world places and are scientifically probable, while others… Let’s just say magic has a hand in some of my creations. Most of my readers have been following The Caein […]
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 […]

In case you missed it, the fourth and final book in The Caein Legacy released on Tuesday. Thank you all for making this series a success—I […]
