2015. So long ago. And not that long ago. The Unraveling was the first of my books that I chose to release. I began writing it in 2012, a flow of words that reached over 200K. Critique partners suggested I break it into shorter novels and form a ‘serialized novel.’ Here’s my original promo when […]
SFR= Science Fiction Romance. I have just the one novel for adults, but it’s the same story I write in my YA fantasies: love of a [alien] planet, caring for its land and community, a hidden world of fantasy and two characters who can’t seem to find the time around their ‘work’ to fall in […]
It’s #BookQW and two wizards are ‘better’ in sticky situations.

What choice did she have but to follow? […]
It’s #bookqw and our heroine has discovered the land of her ‘heart’…though she doesn’t know it!

It’s #bookqw and Fern has an ‘immediate’ gut reaction to someone. More from Chapter 15: Automatically, Fern slipped on the puffy vest on under her cape and zipped it. Heck, what am I doing? Motoring out on the ocean with a girl she didn’t know? Ratna or no ratna, this was getting in over her […]
It’s #bookqw and ‘nothing’ Fern can do will help save the magical island. Excerpt from Chapter 8: She blew out a breath. “Why are they making it so hard? If the isle is in a crisis, you’d think they’d just open the doors.” Beri shrugged a shoulder to his freckled cheek. “Merlin says the old […]
It’s #bookqw and the future of Fern’s family land is in ‘question.’ Excerpt from chapter 2: The council would seek replacement caretakers if Gran didn’t bring it into compliance, which could be satisfied if she grew the plants on their list. After the no-nonsense Sir Humus left, Gran had stood on the front porch a […]
It’s #bookqw! My, how awkward YA compliments & ‘thanks’ can be! In thanks to my readers, The Witch Of The Meadows is on 99¢ sale! Excerpt from Chapter 9: Beri looked tired and must want to sleep after a night of ditch-digging—and in his own bed this time. That thought led to another—would he sleep […]
It’s #bookqw and our hero is ‘deep’ into a hunt. More of the excerpt from The Unraveling, Volume One of The Luminated Threads: Wellspring Collective, Blighted Basin Daeryn Darkcoat’s paws carried his polecat form in a weasel’s rolling leaps along a dirt road. The setting moon, just past half, lit Wellspring Collective’s rows of plants in […]
It’s #bookqw and we’re totally keeping with the Halloween theme: ‘frights’ abound after an unexpected portal trip. Excerpt from Chapter 10: Fern whirled—and found herself nose to nose with Beri. He gaped, his eyes darting wide and frantic around the moonlit bathroom. She tried to move away, but he clutched her shoulders. Tingling washed her […]
