August–wait, September–update

Where did this summer go? I swear I just blinked and it was over! I’m working on the final book in the Storms in Amethir series, and I have ideas for the third book in the Circle City Magic book that are beginning to coalesce. I’ve been doing research in…

The cover of Dread Nation by Justine Ireland: A black girl with her hair in braids stands with her back to the viewer, a bloody sickle in her hand and the US flag behind her.

Back in January, I blogged about what I’d been reading lately. I wanted to post an update with some more books I’ve loved recently. I’m going back to February and March for some of these. Just to recap my reading goals for 2018, I want to read at least 50…

A Secret of NIMH lunchbox with characters from the animated movie

I’m an only child, and growing up I was what they called a strong-willed child. I’ve always been very close to my parents, but I’ve also always had my own mind, and I’ve sometimes been crazy stubborn about following my own mind. I hope I’m not the only one who…
