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 […]
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’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 […]
Font Choices and The Fontayne Company This isn’t something many people know about me, but I spend an inordinate amount of time choosing fonts for my writing projects. 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 […]
Influences and Inspiration from Media In the past couple of months, I’ve been asked multiple times about the media that influences or inspires my writing. Most questions were directed at Wraith and the Revolution (since that’s what I’ve been promoting the most), but Wraith has been with me for so long that I have a […]
