Blog postWho has been adding these wonderful birdhouses and sculptures to our local stop signs?
The main reason I live in this tiny community is because I love seeing wild animals, especially right now, as the spring migrations begin and the red tailed hawks come through.
On my daily walks I see turkey vultures, a blue heron, turkeys, rabbits, quail, falcons, crows, and the odd coyote, but lately a strange new wildlife has been appearing on our stop signs.
So far, I’ve seen ela -
Blog postI am thrilled to announce that The Third Kind of Magic is now available from the largest Russian publisher of children’s books, EKSMO. The second Crow Magic book, The Cursed Amulet will be published in Russian soon! It was a long process, and I learned a lot about publishing (and auto-translation of emails) along the way.
If you read Russian, or know someone who does, visit the link below.

Blog postLately my life has been a Columbo episode. Just one d### thing after the other.
Just when you thought it was safe to go back the water, just when you thought that pesky morphing alien was dead, just when you were sure that the vampire had a stake through its heart, just when you thought Gojira had sunk to the bottom of the ocean…something gruesome lifts its slimy head and…the to-do list gets longer. Again.
I am talking about getting a book out the door, and the pesky tasks tha -
Blog postI am in the middle of trying to pull together all the editions needed to publish the next Suli book, The Cursed Amulet.
The ARC version is ready to go, but naturally that means PGE will shut off my power for a couple of days (again), so if I want to actually send out newsletters and emails, I have to figure out some other place to be.
This is a better option than death by wildfire, but so far it seems wildfires start just as easily in the areas where the power is off as it doe -
Blog postMore Middle-grade adventures I’ve been spending time reading through the best-selling Wings of Fire series by Tui T. Sutherland. Very entertaining, and great examples of story-telling craft.
Narrative voice and well-defined characters are why these books are so successful. Sutherland clearly lays out “here’s this character’s temperament, attitude, goals” and you know by the end of the story the crises will directly challenge all of those things.
I have enjoyed all of the book -
Blog postIt’s my second summer of reading middle-grade books and I’ve been having a great time.
A couple of marvelous books stand out.
The first is The Truth as Told by Mason Buttle. I am usually not a big fan of realistic novels for this age group because they tend to be reductionist (“here’s the bully, here’s the inattentive parent, here’s our hero battling odds, here’s the specific trendy problem that appeals to NY publishers…”) and at first glance this seems like it fits all those -
Blog postI discovered recently that my book, which is available to libraries as an ebook through Overdrive, is now part of the collection at Oakland (CA) public library. This makes me so happy. I have been a patron of the OPL libraries for most of my adult life. Also, for reasons I don’t fully understand, it seems to be having a positive effect on sales.
So thank you, anonymous librarian who added me to the collection! Maybe I met you at a conference and don’t remember. Drop me a note if you s -
Blog postThis is going to be a slight ramble.
There needs to be a special word, german or otherwise, for that sensation when something triggers a vague memory from the past. This usually happens to me in regard to my childhood, which is separate geographically, as well as in time, from the rest of my life.
Last night the local PBS channel showed a documentary on Jens Jensen, the founder of landscape architecture in this country (okay, I guess there was Olmsted, too). I didn’t recognize -
Blog postThe shortest day of the year, the Winter Solstice, is tomorrow. That makes it the perfect time to review a horror novel I read recently. The story climaxes at the dark of the year, when the forces of darkness overwhelm any trace of light in the arctic night.
Michelle Paver’s Dark Matter: A Ghost Story is an old-fashioned horror story, in the tradition of M.R. James, who in my book was the most frightening of all the British 19th-century horror writers.
I don’t want to give any -
Blog postIf you’d like to give a paperback copy of The Third Kind of Magic to as a gift, (do you know someone who’d love the story of a smart and independent girl?) I urge you to buy it from your local bookstore. Many of them have fast shipping.
It’s also available online from Kobo and B&N. All of these outlets get their copies from Ingram, a wholesaler who ships right away.
I am posting this so you can get the book in time for the holidays.
The paperback is available at your l
