I don't always pat myself on the back, but today, oh today, I am absolutely slapping the shit out of myself because The Association is finally here, it's out, and it's on time! Happy Halloween to me! I didn't think, Dear Reader, that it was going to happen between my mouth nonsense, Bart's vet appointments,… Continue reading The Association is Here!
A few things to celebrate: I won Camp NaNoWriMo! Another mostly-finished draft is done, and a future for Vacancy has been sealed. This series still needs a lot of work, but every day forward this month has been a massive step toward its publication date, and that feels amazing. I ended up topping out at… Continue reading Goodbye, July!
In celebration of the release of my second self-published novel, She's All Thaumaturgy (which you can get FREE 6/29/20 - 7/3/20), I wanted to share the first chapter with you, like I did with The Korinniad. Enjoy, Dear Reader! CHAPTER 1 Like most things, on the subject of the origin of dragons there is some… Continue reading She’s All Thaumaturgy – An Excerpt
I have officially set up the advanced reader's copy (advanced reviewer's copy?) of She's All Thaumaturgy on Booksprout, and now it's live! This is not the completely polished version of the book that will be released on June 28th (that's the date, by the way), but a version that still has one round of copyediting… Continue reading Get the ARC for She’s All Thaumaturgy Now!
Yesterday was the 18th, 60% done with the month, and 75% done with NaNo! Well, 3/4 of the way to the 50k word goal, at least. I'm feeling pretty good, very pumped to continuously be ahead of the word count, and super proud for spewing out words every day, even if some days that count… Continue reading NaNoWriMo 2018 – 37,500 Words (75% Complete!)
That's it. Growing up. It's fucking scary. End of blog. Just kidding, I am way more long winded than that. Did you ever play "light as a feather, still as a board" growing up? In case you're unfamiliar, the game goes something like this: One friend lies on the ground, arms crossed over her chest… Continue reading Blogoween Day 16 – True Terror Tuesday: Growing Up
A commonly held belief amongst baker/homemaker/mom-type people is this: there is nothing better than homemade bread. Dear Reader, these people are correct. I've wanted to make bread for a long time. Growing up, my grandma had a breadmaker which she used on pretty rare occasion, so my brain took that mixed with the fact that… Continue reading I’m Changing My Name To Hestia
Since I'll very soon be able to focus on writing and editing a trilogy of fantasy quest stories I've been working on over the last *muffled number* years, I thought I'd share a little excerpt from the first book. The series is as yet unnamed which is probably a mistake on my part, but it… Continue reading An Excerpt
