I discovered the Incorrect Quote Generator via reddit (of course!) and spent waaay too long plugging in different characters and giggling madly. (Warning: Once you start playing with this, it will be impossible to stop!) Enjoy the fruits of my … Continue reading incorrect quote generator
I started writing this AU (alternate universe) story many years ago. ALCHEMY was meant to be a scifi, cyberpunk retelling of the story that wound up being the first three books in the CATALYST MOON series (Incursion, Breach, and Storm.)

The discovery draft (ie: the rough draft) of Catalyst Moon #5 is DONE. It needs a lot of work and love, but holy cats...I made it, y'all. My world has changed dramatically since I started writing back in September of 2018, so it's been quite a journey for me as well as my long-suffering characters. … Continue reading Update – March 2019
Nothing is simple. So, Catalyst Moon #3 is basically ready to go, I just need cover art. I'm trying to get it out to y'all, I really am, but I've discovered a divide within myself, namely between what I know is the "smart," "marketable" path, and what my heart wants.
