It’s #bookqw and our heroine has good reason to extend her time to ‘mourn’. More from Chapter 1: Annmar had to say no, and say it firmly and businesslike—not ladylike—before her choices were no longer her own. The door to the factory opened, admitting a brief racket and Mr. Shearing. Broad-shouldered and fit, save for […]
It’s #BookQW and what a magical word for my ‘steam’punk series! More from Chapter 10: Though she wanted to rub her aching temples, Annmar kept her hands folded in her lap. Mistress Gere worked magic. And what’s more, she was saying Annmar could as well. A shiver ran down Annmar’s spine. Rational thought and every […]
It’s #bookqw and our heroine almost missed a thread ‘zip’ by. I’ve been deep in reviewing my three Luminated Threads novels to reformat them and have new covers designed.

It’s #bookqw and Daeryn’s enemies might be as ‘tight’ as friends. I’m celebrating the 5th anniversary of publishing The Unraveling, Volume 1 of The Luminated Threads. Yesterday’s post included several insider details of my writer’s journey in this story. Read it here. I also posted an excerpt from my heroine’s viewpoint, that of a proper […]
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 […]
During this week of promotions and sales, the marketer-wanna-be in my writing life can’t help but point out that my books are available in print paperback. The covers are beautiful and the formating underwent professional attention to detail, if I do say so myself! Check it out: The Windborne series are perfect holiday gifts for […]
It’s #BookQW and this family history has been held ‘tight’! More from The Twisting, Volume Two of The Luminated Threads, Chapter 3: Miriam lifted the mug, and a smile etched itself across her tired face. “You’re a strong-willed woman. Just like your mother.” Annmar’s eyes widened. “Mother? You knew my mother?” Without realizing it, she […]
It’s #bookqw and our heroine has her ‘eye’ on the mysterious villain. More from Chapter 1: Making a little huffing noise, Polly turned and peered at the framed engravings of Mr. Shearing’s machinery, all from the advertisement illustrations Annmar had rendered. Several were missing, the ones submitted to the New Works Competition. He’d embarrassed Annmar […]
