Hello there! After three rewrites, two beta-readers, and countless revisions, Catalyst Moon: Storm (book 3) is with my publisher! I'm still trying to figure out when it'll be released, but I anticipate late autumn/early winter. (Hopefully sooner, but it might need more work than I realize.) I feel pretty good about this one; it's always … Continue reading Update – June 2018
Milo in Catalyst Moon: At the start of Incursion, (Book 1), Milo is approximately 18 years old. He's often described as a burly fellow; tall and broad-shouldered, which belies his gentle nature.

But reading what follows should give some … Continue reading deleted scenes, part 1

Today's rambling topic: fanfiction, and how I transitioned from writing it to writing original stuff. Let's begin, shall we? But first, proof of my incurable nerdery: Captain Rex & this dork at … Continue reading on fanfiction
Hello there! Gosh, I almost don't know how to begin a blog post without first apologizing for not posting in so long! 😉 During the first weekend of December, I was lucky enough to attend Tallahassee Comic Con as "professional," meaning my lovely publisher paid for my writer's table at this event. This was my … Continue reading on Tallahassee Comic Con 2017
Hi there! Rather than apologizing for how long it's been since I posted, (just know I have the best intentions but horrible follow-through when it comes to blogging), I'll just jump right in. The third rewrite of Catalyst Moon #3 is DONE!!!! Huzzah! Of course, the book still needs some (okay lots of) editing, and … Continue reading Update – November 2017
Hi there! To celebrate the launch of Catalyst Moon: Breach (Book 2), my amazing publisher, Inkitt, interviewed me about the book, my writing process, and other neat stuff. The interview is below. Enjoy! Inkitt: How did it feel writing the sequel, as opposed to the first book, Catalyst Moon: Incursion? I imagine you grew even … Continue reading interview with Inkitt

In an effort to strengthen that community, I've reached out to fellow indie authors of all genres in a series of interviews I'll be posting intermittently.
