WIP Wednesday

Lightning strikes in the distance over the ocean at night

I’ve also been following Lisa’s blog and Instagram accounts for added inspiration and accountability. This…

Adventures in Research: Steering the Ship

A couple of weeks ago, I went on vacation. A lot of it was sight-seeing and hiking, the sort of thing I like to do in my free time. But I also spent one day doing some very important Weather War ship research–which had the bonus of being amazingly fun. I…

Book Rec: Dream Eater by K. Bird Lincoln

Cover of Dream Eater by K. Bird Lincoln. A Japanese girl stands with her back to the viewer and looks over her shoulder. She is on a city street at night.

A couple of months ago I shared the cover of Dream Eater by K. Bird Lincoln, and hosted a blog post by her. At the same time, I was also given an e-ARC of the book to read. Since the book releases today, I want to tell you how much I…

The Sick Woman by Jan Havicksz Steen, photo by Dennis Jarvis

Wow, it’s spring. We’re only ten days away from April. And the Weather War deadline I had set for February 28 is waaaaaaay overdue. I do have some excuses legitimate reasons for being past deadline. I discovered a plot issue that required me to stop writing, outline the rest of the…

WIP Wednesday: The Weather War

In honor of Valentine’s Day (which I don’t actually celebrate because really, a holiday to celebrate romantic love that’s named after a monk who was martyred? Right.)
