Two weeks ago from tomorrow, I participated in the Ritter Public Library’s third annual local author fair. Sadly, I have no photographic evidence of this, as neither my mom (who was my assistant) nor my sister (who came for the last hour) nor I thought to capture the day. Oh, well. It was a nice… Continue reading A Lovely Day at the Library Author Fair Plus Writerly Updates

Happy Independence Day, USA! How are you celebrating today? I’m going to stay in and comfort the cats during fireworks time. They hate those loud booms, and I do as well.

A Writer’s Quick and Painless Guide to Naming a Book
Naming your book can be harder than naming your first born. For a child, you can go to sites like Behind the Name or Baby Names; but besides the occasional random title generator you might stumble upon, there is no easy way to slap a good title to your writing. This is the… Continue reading A Writer’s Quick and Painless Guide to Naming a Book

Favorite Christmas Presents: 2022 Edition
This isn't a Christmas gift, per se. To celebrate wrapping up The Goblets Immortal trilogy with Death's Key (out now from Flame Tree Press), I decided to splurge and get some some Tolkien books...and some cool bookends to hold them in place (from Etsy.) Which book from this fab stack should I read first? I've… Continue reading Favorite Christmas Presents: 2022 Edition

Where Can You Find Fantastic Food? In Literature, Good Friend!
Empanadas that look a bit like pasties, which I would like you to pretend they are. One of the most fun details to read about in fiction, for me at least, is food and how it's prepared (this is probably because I enjoy cooking a bit myself.) It adds a bit of realism to what… Continue reading Where Can You Find Fantastic Food? In Literature, Good Friend!
9 Teas Worthy of a Fellowship…of the Ring
I stayed up late one night--WAY too late, to be honest--and so I got very silly, as I am wont to do when I am very sleep-deprived. So I came to thinking: what tea would each member of the Fellowship of the Ring of Power be most likely to drink? Thus, we now have this… Continue reading 9 Teas Worthy of a Fellowship…of the Ring

The title of the book is Brittle and the duology--is not a duology any more. Oops. Instead… Continue reading I’m Ecstatic to Announce…the Birth of a Totally New Series!
2022 and a Lack of Scheduling
Well, I did it. I managed to post a blog post every Friday of 2021--go, me. This year, however, might be a tad different. Just a heads up: I might only be posting occasionally. Or I might post every week. Or a few times a week. 2022 is the year of no blogging schedule. I… Continue reading 2022 and a Lack of Scheduling
