Author of spooky, fantastical and swoony fiction and blogger of high strangeness.
Yesterday was a full day, and I was also very tired, so I gave myself permission to not blog. Right on schedule, apparently–I heard a statistic this morning that January 12 is the day that most New Year’s resolutions die. Not that I’d made a NYR to blog every day–that was just a goal for […]

Welp, we made it through the first full week of 2021. And what a week. 2020 is sitting on the bench, holding this year’s beer and looking impressed. Anyhow, I managed to keep going all week despite all of the distractions, a feat for which I’m giving myself a pat on the back. I finished […]

It’s one part clean romance and one part legit horror. It’s a ghost story with heart. It’s also about the everlasting bond between sisters and the power […]

There’s not a ton to report this week. I added about 5,000 words to the romance novel, and edited a couple of chapters of Revolution Part Two. I also (re)launched The Pixie and the Professor, a 99 cent short formerly known as Shiny: A Clockwork Fairytale. And then yesterday several freelance writing assignments came in, […]
