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: […]
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.

In issue 316 of SFX Magazine, Flame Tree Press took out a one-page ad and…The Goblets Immortal happened to display prominently.

Publishing Announcement
I have news–and I know how you like news (cue the laughter from fans of the movie adaptation of Emma with Gwyneth Paltrow.) No, this is not another Jane Austen parody announcement (though there might be one down the road…who knows?) My fantasy novel The Goblets Immortal has been accepted for publication by Flame Tree […]
Throwback Thursday: The Forgotten Novel
So… I just remembered that I have an unfinished fantasy novel sitting in my virtual sock drawer. I pulled it up, and behold!: the word count was over 104,000 (remember: unfinished.) I used to be a lot wordier with my projects when I was in my teens. I wrote a big hunk of One Was […]
