Sequels & Things

From the First Draft: Bared Magic
While working on Cursed Magic I frequently find myself referring back to the text of Bared Magic because I’m a scatterbrain who can’t maintain a world bible to save her life. This morning, among the various haphazard world-building notes, I…
Creating Seasonal Realism in Fiction: The Wheel of the Year
What are the four seasons in Ohio? Almost Winter, Winter, Just Like Winter, and Construction. Like many good jokes, there’s a kernel of truth to this punchline. Some years it seems like spring and autumn vanish in the blink of…
May 2021 Update
Sorry for the late blog post. Just have a few quick updates. First, the release-related news. The release party giveaway for Courting the Dragon is currently open. Check out my Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook for instructions on how to enter.…
