I owe a lot to my mom, especially as a writer. She was the first person to encourage me and she’s my biggest fan. I wouldn’t be the author I am today without her. My mom loves to read and she passed her love of books on to me. She read many great books to […]
Mapmaker, Mapmaker, Make Me a Map
One of the most important parts of bringing a story to life for me is to start with a map. I always get excited when I open a new book and find a detailed map inside. Getting a sense of the location helps orient me in the story. I want my own stories to have […]
Health Update: Writing and Carpal Tunnel
Like many writers and other professionals who use computers, I’ve found myself experiencing a great deal of pain in my wrist. I finally managed to see a doctor and a neurologist and my diagnosis is mild carpal tunnel syndrome. Fortunately, it’s not bad enough to require any kind of surgery or injections, but it does […]

I’m writing my novel for charity. I’ve joined up with an amazing group of writers called The Mighty Pens. Together, we’re working to […]
One Project on Hiatus, Another Book Resumed
Hello, everyone! I know that I’ve been a little scarce recently. I’d like to explain a little about what’s been going on. So, last year, I finally published the second Wyld Magic book. My plan after that was to immediately write and publish the third book in that series. In fact, it was my 2016 […]

However, the racism inherent in the story’s premise made it impossible for me to read without getting angry, and I quit about a third of the way into the novel. Instead of writing a negative review, I thought […]
