I have a book trailer! I’ve been wanting to try this since Stormshadow, and thankfully Laura VanArendonk Baugh is an experienced video editor and was willing to spend the time and energy making it happen today. Check it out, and if you like it, please share far and wide using the …
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 …

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 …
