Introducing Zeldyvian Fontayne (of the Fontayne Company) Zeldyvian (Zel) Fontayne, aka the Sunlit Bandit, aka the False Chosen, aka… You get the picture. Zel is a thief and conman, best known for swindling the followers of Felsyn, the chained god of fate, into believing he was their chosen savior. Of course, his scheme was laid […]
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 […]
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 […]

I can be very picky about fonts when it comes to book covers and chapter headings. The fonts used on the majority of my published books weren’t […]
Happy New Year! Here’s hoping 2026 is a good year for all of us. While 2025 was okay, there are definitely parts of it that I’m happy to leave behind. What are my writing plans for 2026? First, I’m planning to complete final revisions on Rites of Departure, book 1 of The Fontayne Company duology, […]
2025 in Review I think 2025 has been a strange year all around. It has definitely been weird for me, and even after a few months to process some of the specific weirdness, that’s still the only word that seems adequate to describe it. 2025 has been weird. But there has been a lot of […]
The State of My Writing (an Update) It’s been a while since I made my last writing update post. I don’t actually know when the last one was, but I’m pretty sure it was before Wraith and the Revolution was published in June. Which means I’m probably overdue. By a lot. *Does a quick scroll […]
