the slayer saga

  • Things have been pretty dull around here, as I’ve been in a big blogging funk that’s led to quite possibly the quietest release ever for the second book in The Slayer Saga, Heartless (have you got your copy yet?). But, really, my focus has already shifted, as excited as I am to have a new…

  • Welcome to August, everyone! It’s hard to believe that what is usually deemed as the last month of the Summer is already here. But August brings more than hot weather and back-to-school sales. It brings my next release, the second book in the Slayer Saga trilogy, Heartless! The further adventures of the Slayer of the…

  • It’s July 15th!

    As the title of this post, your calender, your phone, and whatever other time-telling device may tell you, today is July 15th! The Ides of July is a particularly exciting day for me, because it means that the next installment of The Slayer Saga, Heartless, will be released exactly one month from now! I can’t…

  • An Author Among Us.

    So, a strange thing has been happening at work lately. A very small frenzy seems to have started up about my books. Now, last year, a few of my coworkers expressed interest in reading Soulless and Bowlful of Bunnies, and so I got them copies, and that was kind of that for a while. My…

  • Hello, lovelies! Things have been quiet around here again, but I’m going to blame that on my deep involvement in edit-land, because I emerge from the silence on the search for those who might like to volunteer their time to helping me make my book even better. The Slayer Saga: Heartless is ready for beta…

  • More, More, More!

    The other night, I received the excellent news that my story, “Laura and Ollie,” was accepted for publication in the next issue of The First Line, a really cool journal where all the stories published all start with the same line. I’m incredibly excited to have been chosen and to see what other twists on…

  • March Madness!

    Well, would you look at that? We’ve moved on from February and find ourselves at the bright beginning of a brand new month! I’ve always like March, mostly because my birthday’s toward the end of it, and my anniversary with my wonderful boyfriend is at the beginning of it. And, because I’m sure she’ll mention…

  • February Focus.

    Welcome to February, everyone! As fitting for the wintry month, we’re currently in the middle of an absolutely beautiful snowstorm here in Chicago, where we’ve gotten maybe three of the potential twelve inches until Monday. I’ve got a shift at work that’s going to likely be slow due to the double whammy of storm and…

  • A Review needs Reviews!

    Today celebrates the one-month anniversary of the publication of the World Unknown Review Vol. I, and things have been going really great….except for one little thing. The book has had a solid showing in sales (solid for what I’m used to, anyway!), but things are looking a little nonexistent on the review side of things.…

  • Last night, when I should have been getting some sleep, I stumbled upon this thread in /r/fantasywriters about Character Tropes, and which ones we like and which ones we didn’t. It’s not a new conversation, not by any means, but it’s definitely an interesting one, one that makes me go through a list in my…
