Perhaps writers ought to announce their pending disappearances when they are about to do it, but frankly, we get our heads so deep into the story problems that we rarely come up for air. Until guilt takes over. Guilt has arrived. I did go to RavenCon2016! I had a good time. Because I’m a newbie, […]
Who knew seeing your cover in a new way could be just as exciting as seeing the real book? I printed these ‘chapter booklets’ of The Unraveling to give away at my author reading this weekend at RavenCon 2016. Into 12 text pages, we squeezed both chapter 1 & 3 to give readers a taste […]

Do you like teasers? How about outtakes? A chapter from the next volume of my serialized steampunk novel is now both. I thought it would be the start of The Binding, but it isn’t–my first draft fooled me! If you’d like to read this outtake scene from Annmar’s point of view, please sign up for […]
I’ve read the typical author is an introvert. It’s true of me. Introverts don’t like to be on stage, but these days everyone needs a photo, an icon or something to represent themselves. My dear husband will not friend anyone without a profile picture. Doesn’t matter what, you just gotta care enough to have something […]
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. […]
For years, well, decades, I’ve enjoyed genealogy, and so has my aunt, my dad’s father. She’s been the keeper of most of their parents’ photographs and has researched–the old-fashioned way, by visiting cemeteries and county clerk offices–a lot of the Wanrow family history. In preparing for an upcoming visit with her, I reviewed sets of […]
Seems silly to announce it, but since the website’s appearance hasn’t changed–yet!–it’s safer to announce that, yes, you have found the new location. Thank you for joining me! 🙂
Loved the beginning of Downton Abbey season six. A few minor threads started and resolved and even more began! And the party–splendid! My husband was told he looked like like Mr. Mason…but who was I? I’m claiming I’m Violet in her younger, Victorian years. LOL. I love Maggie Smith’s Dowager character! We had a show […]
I am so looking forward to the new season, and a bit in mourning for this series ending. Tonight, I’m attending a season premier party. We’re encouraged to dress in British garb and bring an English dish to share. Of course I have my Victorian/ steampunk outfit I put together this autumn. Not at all […]
