Blog postIn keeping with tradition, I’ll post my best
books read in the year. This year was my Born
Again Author year, :) with heavy travels the
majority of the year, as well as managing the
day to day aspects and challenges of taking care
of a family. I haven’t done a tally, but I think
I’ve read less than previous years. but I still
did read! And some fantastic novels too.
Listed in the order I read them…

Blog posti could not be more thrilled that Serpentine has been
chosen as a Junior Library Guild Fall Selection!! in addition,
we received a glowing Kirkus review:
“The economical narrative conjures an entire world, drenched in color and texture and scent, rich in evocative mythology and heady action, and filled with vivid characters. Skybright makes a refreshing heroine, both fiercely loyal and eminently practical, ready to exploit her supernatural powers while insisting on her inh4 years ago Read more -

Blog postHello friends!
We are coming ever closer to Serpentine’s release
on September 8th! I’ve decided to do a pre-order
campaign exclusively with my favorite local indie
bookstore, Mysterious Galaxy. I will be giving one
of my brush painting cards with each book ordered
(stay tuned for details), and wanted to take a poll
on your THREE favorite images for a brush painting
card as part of this giveaway. So please vote! And
thank you! :D

Blog posti decided not to white out the background to
this painting because i love the antiquated feel
of the piece without it. i saw this chinese beauty
in an art book and absolutely fell in love with her.
she is holding a pipa (a chinese muscial string
instrument) in the original painting. but i didn’t
like that pose as much, so i painted her with this pot
of plum blossoms instead. :)
as always, with person or critter, i start with
the eyes. if5 years ago Read more -

Serpentine sequel. :D so exciting, but also nerve
wracking. ha! i haven’t had a deadline for an entire
novel since, er, 2010. that’s half a decade ago!
