Author of The Relics of War, The Caein Legacy, & Wraith and the Revolution
Thoughts on Writing an Ace Main Character I went into writing Wraith and the Revolution with two objectives in mind. First, it was going to be a standalone, no matter how difficult it is for me to rein in my tendency for writing series. And second, the main character would be aro/ace. A lot of […]
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 […]
Legend is available and The Caein Legacy is complete! Now what? First, happy Thanksgiving to those in the US, and happy Thursday to the rest of my amazing readers. 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 […]
The “Monsters” in my Stories I’ve said this before, but I’ve never taken the time to write a dedicated post about it. The real monsters in my stories are the creepy, grotesque creatures that often come to mind when someone thinks of a monster. No, in my worlds, the monsters are all too often human. […]
The Worldbuilder Diaries: Food and Drink As someone who enjoys cooking/baking in real life, I have added some mentions of food into my books, and they’re not always the typical variety, either. I have several species featured that don’t have the typical human-style omnivore diet, and their food preferences also come up in my stories. […]
