Do you like stories which follow the heroine or hero as they grow into their powers, be they magical, witchy, shifter or other? I sure do–it’s pretty much what I write in my Windborne series. I’ve happily joined a group of like-minded writers to share the magic of transformation! Check out our showcase of books […]
Our #BookQW word is ‘usual.’ The Binding is now up for a Goodreads #Giveaway. And you can read the first chapter here…but remember, this is the 3rd of a trilogy about Annmar and Daeryn in The Luminated Threads series. Their story starts with The Unraveling–first chapters available here!
My IRL friend and critique partner has made her debut release today! Congratulations to Ingrid Hahn! I love your beautiful purple cover and it’s such a charming story. Best wishes on your first release! She has lost everything but her dignity… England, 1811. When John Merrick, the Earl of Corbeau, is caught in a […]
It’s been a week since the NoVa TEEN Book Festival in Arlington, VA, but if I say ‘squirrels in my attic’ do I get a pass for being late with a post? More on that–the squirrels–in another post. If I can work up to it. (sigh) If you are close to the MD / DC […]
I’m thrilled to celebrate JC Kang’s debut release. Beautiful cover for a fabulous fantasy! About the book: Kaiya’s voice could charm a dragon. Had she lived when the power of music could still summon typhoons and rout armies, perhaps Cathay’s imperial court would see the awkward, gangly princess as more than a singing fool. […]
New releases from my critique partners! It’s always exciting to see a book you’ve read in the early stages come into its own as a published novel. This week–in fact, in the next two days–two of my critique partners have releases. Ironically, both authors go by the same initials: JC (Yes, they are different people. […]

As a partner at Grimm’s magical Agency, Marissa Locks is used to working odd jobs. But when an evil queen reappears in Kingdom, life becomes too strange to handle… Even when […]
We’re less than 24 hours from the start of UtopYA, an author-fan con a fellow steampunk author has raved about. It’s four days of fun in Nashville, Tenn, an easy drive for me (who likes driving across country–really!) and the focus is on young adult and new adult supernatural and contemporary fiction–right up my alley! […]
I’m using the tag ‘A Steampunk Fantasy Romance’ to describe The Unraveling, but my novel isn’t all about gears and steam. Steampunk falls within the science fiction genre. Libraries and bookstores will categorize my novel as: Fiction/science fiction/steampunk But that still doesn’t explain it. So, think Jules Verne. He lived and wrote in the 1800s, […]
Congratulations to my friend Donna S. Frelick on the release of her debut novel Unchained Memory! Donna and I met at RWA Nationals during a get-together of science fiction romance writers, but discovered we live fairly close, so I was able to attend her Book Launch Party. Readings, signings, and of course, photo ops! Fun, […]
