Author of spooky, fantastical and swoony fiction and blogger of high strangeness.
I’m still in an odd place where I don’t really know what to write about here. I think it might help remedy that if I can stop thinking of this as my “author blog” and just see it as my blog. I also think the creative part of my brain largely went into hibernation for the […]

Read More »Let me get this out of the way first: I have a problem with referring to my readers as “fans.” Maybe this is a confidence problem, and I need to get over it and learn to embrace the word. After all, I don’t have any problem whatsoever with proudly referring to myself as a fan […]
Read More »In lieu of traditional resolutions this year, I’ve decided to put together a list of 101 things to accomplish in 1001 days.

Read More »We’ll be having a quiet, homemade Christmas at home, just the two of us and our pets and more food than two people should eat, relaxing in our jammies and watching Christmas movies (…what do you mean, Lethal Weapon and Die Hard aren’t Christmas movies?). In the meantime, I invite you to listen to this special […]
Read More »I cannot believe we’re only a week away from Christmas! I’m so not ready! As much as this year seemed at times like it would drag on forever, in the end it really flew by, and Christmas has snuck up on me.

Read More »My husband has had what you might call a “state-crush” on New Mexico for a while now.
