I couldn't be more excited about the premier of Amazon's The Rings of Power this September. I thought I was excited about the Amazon adaptation of Wheel of Time (which I loved—my only disappointment was how short the first season was), but Rings of Power with Galadriel as the central character? My heart leaps with … Continue reading Tolkien Reading Day 2022 and The Rings of Power (Fake) Script Excerpts
Hey Folks. I know this blog has been dead for nearly a year (long dreary story you don't want to hear, I'm sure). BUT, my favorite DIY indie virtual Con is coming up, and I'm super excited about the schedule we have in the works. While my QuaranCon colleagues get that buttoned down, this is … Continue reading QuaranCon 2022—Upcoming Events
The Seventh Annual Self-published Fantasy Blog Off opens for entries tomorrow, May 14, at 6 pm GDT. As I wrote in my last blog, this is a free-to-enter competition for self-published fantasy novels conceived by author Mark Lawrence.

I'm three years into my involvement with SPFBO—the Self-Published Fantasy Blog Off fantasy novel competition founded by author Mark Lawrence—and it's been a rollercoaster. Lows, highs, twists, turns, and loop-de-loops that have all too often left me with a sick stomach and an aching head. Now, as my third go-round comes to a close and … Continue reading #SPFBO
Last year I jumped on the chance to participate in QuaraCon, a pandemic-driven virtual fantasy convention that was the brainchild of author Virginia McClain, and I loved every moment of it. Despite being a very shy, mostly introverted person in most social situations, I do love the stage! I was a drama club kid when … Continue reading QuaranCon 2021 Schedule
Monday was International Women's Day, and I suppose that's as good a reason as any to restart this blog. What follows will probably read like the world's biggest pity party. So be it. Let's get a couple things straight first. I'm a WASP—that stands for White Anglo Saxon Protestant (I'm agnostic so the Protestant part … Continue reading What the Hell Is Going on with Me? Confessions of a Writer of a Certain Age
This day was a long time coming. It's been just over 4 years since I released A Wizard's Forge in September 2016, and I honestly thought we'd reach this day a whole lot sooner than we did. After all, just as A Wizard's Forge was a leaner, meaner version of Blade of Amber, A Wizard's … Continue reading Happy Book Day—A Wizard’s Sacrifice Is Here!
This is a big day! Why? Well, there's a lot going on: A Wizard's Sacrifice, Book Two of the Woern Saga, will be released just 7 days from now! You can preorder your copy here. Today is the launch of a book tour celebrating the release of Sacrifice but focused on A Wizard's Forge, Book … Continue reading Repetitions—a #BookQW Excerpt
A Wizard's Sacrifice comes out in just two short weeks, and I cannot wait for readers to get their hands on this book, especially because I just finished listening to the audiobook. Once again narrator Leah Casey did a marvelous job, one that had me weeping through the last several chapters. In the meantime, I … Continue reading A Spook in the Forest—a #BookQW Excerpt
