Those stories and how I used them are featured in a two part series on History Undressed. Visit with me: Tuesday, 7/21: Steampunk Lessons from a […]

The lovely–and bag fanatic–Vicki Batman is hosting me on Get Lost In A Story this Wednesday, July 8th (here!–live on Wednesday!). It’s a not-to-be-missed post for two reasons: 1) We’re offering a giveaway of a print copy of The Unraveling to one lucky commenter and 2) I’m revealing what’s in my heroine Annmar’s bag–not your […]
I’ve had a couple of very nice reviews posted on my Amazon page–thank you so much!
