Cover Reveal for The Rooftop Inventor
I’m thrilled to reveal the debut cover for a steampunk YA written by one of my critique partners and fellow steampunk authors! Congratulations, Nooce! Beautiful! I love Theo’s magenta airship, and her undaunted stance. 🙂 Here’s what you can expect from this 19th century mid-western girl: It’s 1879 and seventeen-year-old Theodocia Hews is out of […]
Meeting the dogs within the story
I’ve been deep in edits with a shapeshifter story, but hadn’t realized how frequently I feature animals in my other stories until I attended the World of Pets Expo this weekend. Our guinea pig rescue group—yes, MGPR, a guinea pig rescue, as I had to confirm many times during my shift—sets up a booth alongside […]
Thanksgiving = Chessiecon
Over the weekend following Thanksgiving, the mid-Atlantic region is treated to Chessiecon, a science fiction/fantasy con presented by the Thanksgiving Science Fictions Society in Timonium, Maryland. Sessions on many aspects of SF/F are offered across as many as 12 rooms–art, music, gaming, dance, spiritual, videos, and literature. But best of all, one of my favorite […]
Fangirl Moment and Cover Study
I’ll admit it. I didn’t get much writing done this weekend–only about 800 words on the WIP. I did get some studying in, a fangirl hour, and more studying as a result of being a fangirl. Always a good thing! First the fangirl: I went to the start of Maggie Stiefvater’s book tour for Blue […]
Six Sentence Sunday #15

Once more Annmar shook hands and probably said the usual niceties, but her mind jumped to the hue of Mary Clare’s emerald eyes, […]
Six Sentence Sunday #14
Thanks for stopping by for Six Sentence Sunday! Please join my heroine Annmar on her first look at one of her new fellow workers on Wellspring Farm, in my WIP The Farm. Rivka is one interesting fellow, in her city-reared opinion. Below Annmar’s window, Wellspring’s manager joined several farmworkers under the spreading tree. A tall […]
Six Sentence Sunday #13
Another week of edits on my WIP The Farm: When the farm owner leads the new artist through the outbuildings on a tour, Daeryn drops what he’s doing and follows along to meet her, instantly raising the hackles of his co-workers. Jac flipped her hair over one shoulder. “Oh, please. Just because you’re lead now, […]
Six Sentence Sunday #12
In my WIP The Farm, a mystery pest is feeding on the fall crops that Daeryn and his team of nocturnal predators guard. They have run down one of the furry black animals, but lost it before getting a good look. They all shifted and Jac led them a couple of hundred feet around a […]
