To my great excitement and glee, we had a photo shoot in New York a week ago. We now have a slew of awesome pictures that we're going to use for the book covers of our series, and I cannot wait until I get to share everything with y'all! Our model did for Ben did [...]

Amber Eyes book review

By | 2018-01-22T17:43:27+00:00 February 3rd, 2018|Blog|

So I took a two day break from pre-writing Void Born and used that time to read Amber Eyes by S.D. Grimm. Oh my goodness, y'all, it took so much self-control to put it down last night so I could sleep. It was so. good. When there's solid characters with their own secrets and motives [...]

A chapter closes

How is it possible that 2017 is almost over? It feels like yesterday was October, and before that it was Realm Makers. Time is flying by, and somehow I need to keep up! Confession time. Seriously now. With lines like that, who can't love Hook? And really now, that line is applicable to writers [...]

And the cogs keep turning…

It's been far too long since I've updated my progress on Renegade Skyfarer! Humblest apologies. **bows low** This may or may not have been my actual expression when I checked my email. Thankfully, no cameras were present to document my actual reaction. Yesterday evening started up the creative machine again. I got my [...]

Summoner blog tour

Blog Tour Schedule I need to preface this post with a warning: I stayed up until 2 am to finish reading the "one chapter" of Summoner that I started at 10 pm, and if my post is slightly incoherent, that is why. This was such an amazing read. Truly, I started it with the honest [...]

I have to do a little jig about this. Sara has completed the Black Tiger trilogy! And it is phenomenal. Signed book giveaway! Have you read Black Tiger and Ashen City yet? If you have, then you know what I'm talking about when I say phenomenal. If you haven't yet read them, you have to [...]

World building

By | 2017-07-06T17:40:08+00:00 July 6th, 2017|Books|

Over the course of the last year, I've had quite a few people ask me about this story world of Terrene. Where did it come from? How did we get the ideas for it? How does one build a magic system from scratch? Why are our dragons different than the traditional dragon? What's an airship [...]

Arbiter Blog Tour!

Guys, you have no idea how excited over this I am. Meet Jamie Foley.   Jamie is the one who introduced the idea of being an author to me. For the longest time, I believed that a Mommy of little kids couldn't write--that she'd have to wait til all the kids are in college to [...]

Ashen City Blog Tour

By | 2017-05-20T02:49:19+00:00 April 13th, 2017|Blog|

I need to preface this post with the simple statement that I have been dying for Ashen City to come out officially. After having the honor of beta reading, I've been waiting on pins and needles for when I could finally have this book on my shelf, alongside Black Tiger, and I am beyond excited [...]

Building up steam

Nearly every week I tell myself that this is the week that I'll get some blog posts done. This is the week that I'll catch up on all the little things I want to get done. ...and every week passes by, and I check off the chapters I've completed, and shake my head at the [...]
