Thankful Thursday: Thankful for my characters who inspire me the most
I love my characters so much. They’re honestly like old friends, and they deeply inspire me. Well, some of them, haha. For sure. I love Lanokas, 1000%. His arc of growth throughout all three novels is incredible. I adore it. The way he matures, learns to step up, and does what needs to be done…

Reflections on resilience through different phases of life
If there is one constant in life, it is that nothing is constant. We are constantly progressing through one phase of things to another. Sometimes the transition is gradual. Sometimes it happens suddenly. Sometimes we choose it, sometimes we don’t. Sometimes entering a new phase is unavoidable; other times, it’s a deliberate progression on our…

My favorite voices in the audiobook version of “The Crimson League”
As of this writing on May 9, I’ve listened to 16 chapters of the audiobook of The Crimson League: The Fight for Hope. One of my favorite aspects of it is Dana Allen’s voice work with dialogue, giving each character a fun, unique voice. Here are my favorites: KORA, for sure. Kora’s got a ton…

Humble, unassuming characters are the BEST!
Some of my favorite characters are the humble, unassuming ones–who do what’s needed, without caring about whether it’s recognized, because it’s needed and it’s the right thing to do. They tend to be sidekicks or minor characters. Helpers. Supporters. They don’t mind sharing, or even giving up, the spotlight after it falls on them here…

No one told me how much listening to my book as an audiobook would feel like it coming to life
It’s been so much fun working with my narrator, Dana Allen, on an audiobook version of The Crimson League: The Fight for Hope. Maybe it’s just the distance I had from the story before going into the project, but listening to the chapters as they come in . . . I didn’t think it would…

The Crimson League in “The Magic Council”: from War Buddies to Family
One of my favorite things in The Magic Council: The Fight for Home is seeing the relationships of the members of the Crimson League (from book one of the Herezoth trilogy) mature and transform. They are all in different circumstances and different stages of life fifteen years after Zalski Forzythe than when we last saw…

One day to go! Reflection on pre-book launch jitters
A book launch is such a fun experience, and such a fulfilling accomplishment. It can’t satisfy the deep longings of the human heart, but when you’ve worked long and hard on a book that you know has something of real value to offer to other people, it’s a wonderful feeling to know it’s going out…
