Author of The Relics of War, The Caein Legacy, & Wraith and the Revolution
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 […]
People Just Want Dragons Let me start off by saying I love dragons. I have a few as decorations in my office. I like reading about them. I also write about them on occasion. My logo is a dragon. But if you get into certain social media circles, there’s definitely a vocal group who think […]
Focus Interrupted The month of June has been a bit tumultuous (I like that word, so I had to use it here.) But I wanted to start off this post by saying thank you to everyone who has supported me, my writing, and especially the release of Wraith and the Revolution. It’s a special book […]
Writing Update I haven’t posted a general update in a while, and I figure I probably should. I don’t even remember the last time I made one that covered my current writing projects (the ones not currently in the queue for publication, that is.) So, here we go… The Mage War Chronicles I have finally, […]
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 […]
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 […]
The Worldbuilder Diaries: Technology This is a post I’ve been excited to write, but also one that I wasn’t sure how to begin. So let’s start with what I mean by “technology.” The standard definitions of the word are as follows: Looking at all of the above, technology can encompass anything from a hatchet to […]
The Worldbuilder Diaries: Deities and Religions By this point in my writing life, I’ve concocted a decent array of gods and goddesses for some of my worlds, while others are conspicuously devoid of any deity at all. I have just as much fun developing worlds that have a bit of religion as I do those […]
The Case for Cozy I’ve been a long-time reader of all things sci-fi/fantasy, but it wasn’t until recently (within the last three years or so), that I started to see “cozy” as a subgenre. And I’ll admit, I was a little skeptical at first. I love a good battle scene, whether it features traditional weapons, […]
