Hide Your Heart The cavern’s shadows clung to Verve, binding her in darkness and squeezing her heart like a vise. By the One god, nighttime was bad enough, but prowling along the shores of one of Aredia’s underground rivers was like being buried alive. Her breath also struggled in the shadows’ grip but she ground … Continue reading Assassin’s Mercy – chapter 1 sneak peek!
Howdy! In case you missed my previous blog post, I'm so excited to announce my new series, Chaos Moon! This series will take place about 150-ish years after the events of Catalyst Moon, and features a brand-new cast of characters. First up, I'd like you to meet Verve (full name, Vervaine).

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
Hiya! Short post today. I'm working with a cover artist for Catalyst Moon: Storm (Book 3), and am busy prepping for this book's launch.

In return, I'm asking for a) a quick note once your done to let … Continue reading Update – seeking readers for ARCs (Advanced Reader Copies) of Book 3
Nothing is simple. So, Catalyst Moon #3 is basically ready to go, I just need cover art.

Perhaps for some people this is helpful, but that tactic always rubs me the wrong way.
