Blog postWhile I don’t write a ton of winter stories, it’s without question one of my favorite times of year. Not a lot of things I like better than sitting in front of a fire with a cup of hot cider while it snows outside. Then there’s the morning after a snowfall, with that quiet serenity of an unbroken blanket of snow, when even the normal noises of the world are muffled and distant.
So it’s probably not the biggest shock that my winter project this year is (yes, yet another) retelling o -
Blog postI promised more information on my upcoming projects, so here’s one that’s in the works for an anthology in 2021: An Urban Fantasy retelling of Puss in Boots.
The plot:
Luke Miller’s parents just died, and his greedy brothers turned him out of the only home he’s ever known, with little more than his clothes and his cat, Wentworth. In his quest to find stability and somewhere to belong, Luke stumbles across an apparently abandoned mansion, a mystery surrounding the neighbor who -

Blog postHey all! It’s been a while, so I thought I’d update you on what’s happening. In August, I have a new world, and a whole new cast of characters to introduce you to, so I’m starting here: A sassy fox, a grumpy ghost, and one overwhelmed mage trying to evade a conspiracy that wants him dead.
Coming soon to a kindle near you, The Fantastic Fluke.

Blog postHey all! I’m running slow lately because of a lovely bout of pneumonia last month, but slowly getting back to work.
One of the best ways for me to keep focused on a project is a playlist I custom build for each new project, so I figured I’d share a few of them. If you’ve read The Wolves of Kismet and pay any attention to chapter titles, you probably already have a clue what would be on those playlists, but I threw in a few extra character-related songs on each, and some things that -
Blog postHey all! So January is over, and boy was it a long year. For me, it was an incredibly productive month. In fact, it was the most productive month I’ve ever had.
So I thought I’d share it here, along with one of the ways I track my word count: I write it on an old-school paper calendar every day. This way Mr. Burns can get a look and if I’m having a slow period, give me a poke. (Okay fine, it’s more so he’ll praise me when I’m doing well.)

Blog postI’m one of those annoying authors who doesn’t believe in the concept of writer’s block.
Yes, sometimes I struggle to write.
Often, that’s the black dog hounding my tail. If it’s depression, it takes time to run its course. I sit around and read a lot of books—or if it’s really bad, I don’t read a lot of books.
Sometimes I struggle because there’s something wrong with the book I’m trying to write. If it’s that, I need to figure out what the problem is. Usually, it’s me -
Blog post…for holiday stories, of course.
I don’t usually write anything for the holidays, but in May, when I was struggling with a major project, taking a day to write a short story was a good distraction from my mental blocks. So here we are in December, and here’s my day well spent.
It is that–a short story–so if you don’t like things that aren’t novel length, it’s obviously not for you. If you’re looking for a feel-good holiday tale, it just might be. It’s a standalone contem -
Blog postAlmost two years in the making, the final book of The Rowan Harbor Cycle is finally coming! On December 26th, the cycle will end.
Rowan Harbor has been peaceful for a now unprecedented two months, but everyone knows it’s the calm before the storm. The Summer king is coming for the thorn—a weapon destined to bring his end—and Fletcher has never felt so helpless.
When the disturbing dreams start and his mentor, Oak, is hesitant to discuss them, Fletcher doesn’t know where to t
