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. Since my head was filled with Annmar and Daeryn’s story, the quote comes from their second volume, The Twisting. More: Her heart pounded. The light shone […]
It’s #BookQW and our heroine has no ‘wait’ for surprises! From Chapter Six: Rail tracks led past the building, tracks the steam loader operated on. Mr. Yates’ business must be there, at a second platform. Annmar squeezed the seal. She was eager to get this next transport arranged, so followed a path of paving stones […]

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 […]

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 […]

She could not afford to be dismissed for suspicion […]
It’s #bookqw and our heroine has a ‘secret’ experiment.

She didn’t blame them, but she […]
