Happy St. Paddy’s Day!
Next week, most of us will cling to that .005% Irish that we believe we are. We’ll eat strange-to-us foods. Some of us will drink far too much beer. While others still, probably the majority, will do absolutely nothing out of the ordinary because we couldn’t care less about St. Paddy’s. Speaking of the Irish….… Continue reading Happy St. Paddy’s Day!
March News
I hope everyone had a wonderful February (but I bet we’re all glad that it’s over. Hello, spring!) A few notices, in case I forgot to mention them here: 1 – The Goblets Immortal is out now in paperback, hardcover, and e-book. I believe there will be an audiobook as well, but at a later… Continue reading March News
Authors Need to Read Recent Fiction
I find your lack of books disturbing The other week, another writer made a simple statement on Twitter. To sum it up: writers who want to be published should read at least one book that was published within the past five years. Reasonable suggestion, no? Here’s why a very good reason to be up… Continue reading Authors Need to Read Recent Fiction
Series Bible Pics
You may have seen on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram but...I'm handwriting and -drawing a series bible for The Goblets Immortal. Here's a peek at what I have so far (as of the writing of this blog post): I'm also having a sealing stamp made for my main character. Here's what it will (hopefully) look like:… Continue reading Series Bible Pics

The Teashop Mysteries by Laura Childs have one obvious pairing: tea. But why not matcha the book-a with the-a corresponding tea-a? (/phony… Continue reading Book and Food Pairings
3 Benefits of Past Pain
Everyone has had pain in their life in some form. For some it’s been fleeting physical pain—maybe a broken bone or a black eye. Or maybe, like me, it’s an ongoing battle with mental anguish with, hopefully, the worst of it behind them. There’s a verse in the Bible that says that all things work… Continue reading 3 Benefits of Past Pain
Watching THE WITCHER
I’ve been watching a show based on a series of books. Perhaps you’ve heard of…THE WITCHER? Magic and medieval-ish costumes and monsters and a brooding hero equals fun, albeit some nudity, sex, adult language, and a very confusing timeline. Really confusing. Like, it took me three episodes to figure out that we’re moving back… Continue reading Watching THE WITCHER
What I’m Listening to: January 2020
Right now, I’m working on the first draft of book three of The Goblets Immortal series. While I write, I’ve been listening to some pretty awesome music that I thought I should give a mention. Here, in no particular order, are the artists and the songs that I’ve been playing: Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da (cover) by Gabriela… Continue reading What I’m Listening to: January 2020
What I’m Reading: January 2020
My TBR (to be read) pile keeps growing, but I need to finish what I’ve started reading, which has proven difficult lately. Don’t get me wrong. It’s nothing to do with the books I’m reading—per se. I think I just have a small case of reader’s burnout. Ugh. Here’s what I’m reading: PRAY BIG by… Continue reading What I’m Reading: January 2020
