  • Art Day!!!

    Anyone who also has me as a friend on Facebook has probably noticed that I have what I happily declare as an “ART DAY!!!” just about every Thursday. Lately, my job has been scheduling me fairly consistently (unheard of in retail!), which includes Thursdays free, which is fabulous, because Thursday is the one day that…

  • 10 Characters Meme.

    I was trying to think of something a little light, a little fun, to do on the blog today since I’m definitely out of practice with regular posting and thinking of things to write. With the reclamation of the previously missing draft of Serpent in a Cage, the book has been pretty strong on my…

  • Free Book Giveaway!

    Well, okay, not exactly free, but I did get your attention, didn’t I? Stay with me, though, it may as well be free. So, I’ve got ten copies of my collection of short stories, Bowlful of Bunnies, to give away to interested parties. I’d love to sign them and personalize them a little bit, too,…

  • Oh, Here It Goes Again.

    So, I’ve taken a little bit of a break from writing and from the blog to have some well-spent time with a friend, which I have a feeling I’ll be doing a lot of on the weekends if this new schedule that gives me Sundays off stays consistent. From what I hear, this is typical…

  • “Better dead than undead.” “Alice in Deadland” by Mainak Dhar Anyone who knows me well will know that, among my extensive list of Loves, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and zombies are pretty high on the list. I’m sure this is true for a pretty healthy amount of people, too, so I’m sure they’d be just…

  • The “Look” Challenge.

    Over at Frame Tale, Kate did a challenge post that she had come across that I just had to give a stab at myself. I love these little games, where you get the chance to showcase a little bit of your work. It’s also pretty useful for those days when you don’t have much else…

  • Sunshine Award!

    So, I was in the middle of writing a pretty lack-luster Writer’s Quote post just to fill up space yesterday, when I get an email letting me know that the ever lovely mrsbongle has nominated me for the Sunshine Award! My computer kind of freaked out on me yesterday, so I didn’t get a chance…

  • “Thankfully, Taluin had enough compassion and empathy to know what he meant without him having to say. ‘Oh, Locke,’ she said, her voice catching, breaking in her throat. ‘You were her world.’” So, some of you may have been reading about my recent awesomeness revolution lately; some of you may not. In a nutshell, life…

  • Welcome to Aryneth.

    For how absolutely essential and pivotal the world of Aryneth is to my writing and why I became a writer in the first place, it’s a little astonishing how little I talk about it here in this blog. I blame college for that; there was such a strong emphasis on avoiding genre fiction and embracing…

  • Upward and Onward!

    So, now that Bowlful of Bunnies is out and hopping around (and wow! What a great response! I felt on top of the world yesterday! And I just looked out of curiosity and BoB made it to #94 on the Top 100 Paid Short Stories category, ohmygod!), it’s back to the drawing board and back…
