Here's part two of my Valentine's Day special saga! Romance is a sub-genre that was always a bit tricky to me in my fantasy novels. I almost never decided to have "ships" in my books, because I felt as though characters should be embraced for more than just a pairing that occurs. I had been [...]

[A Week of] Writing A New Beginning
Starting a new story has always been a massive struggle for me. With my last novel series, "The Final Lesson," I already knew how I wanted that story to begin. It was only fitting to start with the main plot theme of the story, Leilana preparing to venture off and start her journey to become [...]
[A Week Of] Embracing the New Year
The first week kind of just trickled in, but hello! I'm here, in 2019, and I'm working my buns to the burning brisket! So far in the first week, I've managed to send my novel "Gravekeeper" off to the editor, received it, and now it's prepping to go out into the world, but I'm not [...]

[Break-time] Week Three
I've had a few firsts this week, going right into start of it. I got to attend my first public book release (not for myself), and one of my older cousins is currently visiting. It's the first time I've seen him in six years, and boy, does it show. I'm apparently taller. A lot of [...]
