  COVER REVEAL!!!

  I am so crazy excited to reveal the cover for the Herezoth trilogy prequel. The island nation of Herezoth has known peace ever since the king’s forebear put down an infamous sorcerers’ revolt in ancient times. Those born with magical powers—especially sorcery—hide their talents. Until now. When a nobleman overthrows the royal family under pretense…

  My characters are kind of like my kids

  There may be some writers who only care about making money. They rush out book after book, trying to capitalize on current trends that will sell. Such (theoretical) writers cares nothing about the quality of their “art.” They care nothing about the stories. It’s all a cash grab. You see it all over the place…

  We are go! With magic of a different kind in this one.

  I have started the process of formatting The Conflicted Conspirator: The Fight for Redemption! I’m doing the paperback first, as I believe it will be easier than the ebook. I need both the PDF of the paperback and the EPUB files for advance reader copies, so it’s all good, no matter where I begin. I’m…

  Character Spotlight: meet Herezoth’s conflicted conspirator!

  I needed time to get to know her and let her story unfold, but Verony (VER-oh-nee) Staid eventually became one of my favorite characters in my series. She is the protagonist of my upcoming release and ARC titled The Conflicted Conspirator: The Fight for Redemption. She is eighteen when the story starts. Physically, Verony’s most…

  Update on my books, promotions, upcoming releases

  

  A couple of things! FIRST, I was happily, and unexpectedly, able to extend the upcoming promo of my trilogy beyond only January 2nd. These are the new dates, since my promotion periods should renew before the next Stuff Your Kindle Fantasy day in late February (when these prices will repeat.) I’m able to make book…

  DON’T MISS OUT on meeting your new favorite villain!

  I’ve been quiet lately, and I apologize. But I’ve been BUSY. In addition to getting book three ready for formatting, starting to wrap up developmental edits on my prequel, getting through busy season at my day job, and daydreaming my way through a rewrite of my book five . . . I have started an…

  I am beyond excited about my prequel

  I am just so excited about my prequel. I love this story so much. I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s recognizing how I’ve grown as a writer over the course of writing and getting feedback from editors on the original trilogy that came first. Maybe it’s the fun I’m having joining old characters…

  Thoughts on developmental editing

  I honestly kind of enjoy developmental editing. Not as much as I enjoy line editing, where everything sitting there in front of me, ready to go, and the hard work–as I judge it–is already done. Still, I enjoy watching my stories truly come together and take shape during my developmental editing process. I write first…
