Blog postSome of us readers prefer paperback books, light enough to stick in a purse or backpack (and not hurt when we fall asleep reading and the book lands on our faces). Some prefer ebooks, a whole library within arm’s reach. Some are audiobook aficionados, ready for a narrator’s company on the road or around the house. And others are hardcover diehards who love the heft, the durability, the satisfying crack of opening a new binding.
I’m pleased to announce that, for the f -
Blog postCongratulations to my author friend A.R. Silverberry on the release of his newest fantasy novella, The Fellowship of the Flame! If young adult fantasy is your jam, this is a book you may want to check out when it releases on April 20.
A deadly hunter …
A boy with an ill-fated dream …
Only one can survive.
Caggril, ruthless mercenary and tracker, needs enough gold to release himself from the Purpuran army. Only then can he leave war behind and seek the near myth -
Blog postWith most of us under some sort of stay-at-home order, I know many parents who are bravely trying to homeschool their kids for the first time! The learning curve is steep, and it can be hard to know where to start, especially in a subject that’s difficult for you–which for many people means writing.
Today I’m lucky enough to host Denise Boiko–veteran homeschool mom, teacher, speaker, and author of the book Homeschooled and Headed for College–for her tips on teaching writing at home. T -

Blog postIn a time when we’re all craving some good news and something fun to do at home, here’s something: a new book release from my friend A.R. Silverberry!
We first met at an author event at the lovely, late Village House of Books (R.I.P.) and swapped fantasy titles. His new collection of original fairy tales, Cerberus: Tales of Magic and Malice releases tomorrow, so he’s touring the Web to promote it! I got to ask him a few questions on the way. Enjoy!
Welcome, A.R.! So tell us: h -
Blog postUmpteen weeks of sheltering in place later, I’m unsure what day it is. All things seem canceled until further notice. I miss hugging my friends, I miss restaurant dining, I miss not rationing toilet paper.
Yet humor and hope sprout between the sidewalk cracks. Here are ten pictures representing some of the bizarre, productive, delicious, and funny moments I’ve encountered in the alternate reality of Spring 2020.
Spring is not canceled. Love is not canceled. Hope is not cancele -
Blog postHere in California, we’re now starting our third week of the COVID-19 shelter-in-place order. It’s rough, and I’m eating WAY too many peanut butter cups and using too much alliteration in my blog post titles. But I know I have it easy compared to some others–I’m looking at you, parents who suddenly find yourselves thrust into the roles of teachers. Who are on around the clock. With no help. While possibly also trying to work another full-time job. I feel for you.
Books are here to hel -
Blog postIf you’re not up to the minute on the global COVID-19 pandemic, you’ve probably been living under a rock (and for now you should probably stay there). For me, it’s difficult to read any amount of news without a raised pulse. The situation is unfolding moment by moment, especially here in the San Francisco Bay Area, and each new development seems worse than the last. Today officials in several Bay Area counties issued a shelter-in-place order that will last at least three weeks, so we are all

Blog postIt’s poetry book release day!! Fire by Night is now available online!
To me, it feels appropriate that this book goes out into the world on the weekend Daylight Savings Time ends. The days get shorter, the brilliant trees go bare, and we must remember how to be in the dark.
But this is also one of my favorite times of year. As an introvert, I love few things more than curling up with a good cup of tea and a cozy blanket. Yes, there’s less daylight. But that ca -
Blog postLast autumn, I gave a TEDx talk called “Do Something Worth Writing.” It was about the strange feeling of accomplishing a dream and the disorientation that can come with that. Writing The Voyages of the Legend series was the work of over a decade. Finishing it left me wondering: what’s next? The answer is: poetry.
With a mixture of nerves and delight, I announce my 5th book: Fire by Night, releasing on November 2nd. It is a collection of 50 poems grouped around the -
Blog postWell, hello there. It’s been a while!
Where have I been? I’m so glad you ask.
Under a rock is the answer. A very particular, very heavy rock.
I spent this last year teaching.
Yes, last fall I accepted a job with a one-on-one private school. I taught English and Life Skills to students with a variety of learning needs, from ADHD and dyslexia to autism and severe anxiety.
It was very rewarding. I met some incredible kids and inspiring
