    And a quick reminiscence about making a dumb mistake as a newbie author… I wasn’t planning on going to RavenCon. In fact, I wasn’t planning on going to any conventions except ConCarolinas and DragonCon, and even those were iffy and contingent on being accepted as a guest or panelist. (Got accepted to both, but had work…

    HOLY COW IT’S ALMOST THE END OF APRIL?!? Hang on, I gotta go lay down… So, what’s going on with me? Thanks for asking! Where do I start? First, March was fantastic! I went to Korea with the Army, which is something I’ve always wanted to do and finally after 21 years got the opportunity…

    This week, I wrapped up all of the requirements for completing my MFA at Southern New Hampshire University. *pause for celebration* Yes, anyway, that’s enough pausing and celebrating. Too many things on the old to-do list for me to take too long of a break. I will lose momentum, crash, burn, and end up hiding…

    I probably should have posted this on Wednesday, my actual launch day, but having managed to schedule everything in my life in the month of June, I didn’t quite get around to it. But I wanted to let everyone know that Side Roads: A Dark Fiction Collection is live and available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited,…

    The countdown has begun to the launch of Side Roads: A Dark Fiction Collection. Author proofs of the paperback copy have been ordered, promotional graphics have been created and scheduled on social media, and ARCs have been sent to my mailing list, as well as writers and publishers who have graciously accepted copies for blurbing…

They include stories like the faepunk horror “IronFae,” which first appeared in Aiofe’s Kiss, the steampunk horror “The Terrible, Vast Pyre of Chief…

    I was organizing my underwear into neat little rolls, just like in the book, folding and rolling and stacking so I could easily see at a glance what I had. Oddly satisfying. I looked up at the photo and paused, my sturdy cotton panties dangling from my hand. Because there was a hole in the…

    You all may have noticed there was no Day 9 yesterday. That’s pretty much thanks to the migraine I’ve been fighting the past two days. I do have meds I can take, and it makes it almost bearable to get work done, but I gave myself a break and let it go. I was actually…
