Scarecrow is Rhonda Parrish’s third Magical Menagerie anthology, released as a sort of partner and complement to Corvidae. The works are largely unrelated to those of Corvidae (reviewed here), but they carry similar themes, since crows and scarecrows go together like peanut butter and jelly. Or maybe I should say…
I did it! I won NaNoWriMo 2015! Whew. It was a hard-fought struggle sometimes. At one point I accidentally deleted a scene that I’d planned to delete after November, but had already written. Those were 1500 or so words I had to replace with 1500 better words. But I battled through…
I’m going to be at Main Street Books in Lafayette this coming Saturday. It’s Small Business Saturday, and you know what that means–support your local indie bookstore! Main Street Books is planning poetry readings, special deals, and door prizes, which pretty much guarantees a good time! I’m going to be acting…
I’m at that point again. The point where I hate my current novel-in-progress. The point where I think almost all of my characters are vapid and the love story won’t sell itself and the plot is pointless and the world-building is too thin. The point where I think, Oh, lord,…
You might remember how much I enjoyed Rhonda Parrish’s first anthology Fae (reviewed here), and earlier this year I was fortunate enough to score an e-ARC of her second Magical Menagerie anthology, Corvidae. I’ve finally (finally!) gotten around to writing up and posting my review, and I want to share it…
I had a great time at the Allen County Public Library Author Fair! I talked to a lot of great people, including authors all along the spectrum, from those just starting out on their first story to those who have published several books. It was so much fun, and it’s…
I’m excited to announce the winner of the signed Storms in Amethir series. Congratulations to Jeremy D! I’ve sent you an email with instructions on collecting your prize, Jeremy. I wish I could give a set to everyone who entered the contest. Since I can’t, I’d like to offer a…
Are you feeling lucky? I’m giving away a signed set of the Storms in Amethir trilogy paperbacks! Starting today and running through November 11 (my mom’s birthday), I’ll be taking entries for a signed set! I’m running the giveaway through Rafflecopter, so if you follow my blog with a feed reader, make sure you…
I had such a great time last year that I was very pleased to be invited back to the Allen County Public Library’s annual Author Fair in November. If you live near Fort Wayne, come see me and lots of other great authors! WHEN: Saturday, November 14, 1 – 4…
I’m super excited about an event coming up next week! I’ll be giving a reading and talk at Main Street Books in Lafayette, Indiana. This is different from some of the signings I’ve done in Lafayette before in that I’ll actually be giving a short reading and talk beforehand, and…
I'll never share your information with anyone else. You'll get fortnightly emails from me about what I'm working on, and every once in a while I send out exclusive freebies to my email list.
