In addition to being a fantastic artist and a professional, Nicole Cardiff is a fun and interesting person. I had a few questions I wanted to ask her about her process, which gave me an excuse to do an interview with her for the blog. So without further ado, here’s my…
Here it is! Isn’t it gorgeous? The Stormseer art is by the amazing Nicole Cardiff, who has been a dream to work with. I’m happy to say I’ll have a Q&A blog post with Nicole coming up soon. I love this art! I think it fits the story perfectly–I…
Revisions of Stormseer are chugging right along! I’ve heard back from one of my critique partners and am about to sit down and chat with another. I have a cover artist commissioned and have seen early line art of the cover. (SQUEE!) I’ll be announcing a release date on my email…
Back in March I finally finished Business for Authors: How to be an Author Entrepreneur by Joanna Penn, and here it is May and I’m finally finishing my review of the book! I had owned this book for months, and I think I was subconsciously intimidated by it. Why else would I have…
Spring has finally arrived in Indiana. Arrived, and whooshed straight into 80-degree days, because that’s how we do spring in Indiana. Next week we’ll probably drop back into the 40s. I participated in Camp NaNoWriMo this past April, and thanks to that and the Monthly Twitter Writing Challenge, I wrote…
A week from today I’ll be participating in the Tippecanoe County Public Library Authors’ Fair! If you live near Lafayette, Indiana, stop by at the downtown branch between 10 am and 4 pm on April 11. I’ll have copies of Stormshadow and Sow the Wind available for purchase and I’m looking forward to…

I know, I know, most writers are introverts, so you just looked at the title of this blog post and shuddered. But don’t worry, live events don’t have to be torture! In fact, live events have been, in my experience, very good days in terms of sales, and very good days in general.…
I’m still hard at work on Stormseer, and it’s closer than ever to being publication-ready. I’m aiming for a late March release date. In the meantime, I thought I’d offer a snippet of the novel-in-progress and a glimpse at some of the sources of my inspiration. I use Pinterest to…
Here’s the blog post you knew was coming. The crazy cat lady is going to try to say writing is like being a crazy cat lady. But hear me out! Every project is different. Strider takes kitty Prozac because he pees in inappropriate places. It’s something that started after I brought in…
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.
