Writers have to build up a pretty thick skin. I set a new goal this year, promising not to give away any of my writing for less than .03 a word (charity anthos aside). It's a high hurdle and I knew I'd have to take some hits as I swim in a more choosy pond… Continue reading A lovely review after SO MANY REJECTIONS!

First, my story VEGAN VAMP is out in a charity anthology to benefit the Australian Red Cross. PLEASE make this the number one anthology on Amazon by buying a copy. Click this link!  

My poppet series is all about tamed zombies and the girl who wants to save them. There's going to be three books in the series, so be sure to keep tuned in for updates! WOOOOTTTT!!!

I really enjoyed the way that the locals support the speakers,… Continue reading Capricon in Chicago

My Son and I went to WindyCon for the first time this month. It's a smaller con right outside of Chicago. What was really awesome about this con was that it had a theme, "dystopia," and that them informed much of the programming, activites, and cosplay. As a fan con, I'd say this ranks up… Continue reading WindyCon Report
