One week!

By | 2021-06-05T13:00:50+00:00 June 7th, 2021|Blog, Books|

It's hard for me to fathom this, but in one week, the final book will be out. Blood Bond shall be released into the wild, and the series shall be complete. Craziness! Excitement! All the sweet relief! Have you recently read (or re-read) Traitor's Crown? Are you ready to dive back into Terrene and experience dragons [...]

Back to the beginning

By | 2019-02-12T18:08:14+00:00 February 12th, 2019|Books|

The first manuscript I wrote was Betrayal by Blood, the prequel to the entire series. I had to know what exactly happened the day the Doldran royal family fell, I had to know the truth of why Slate felt the guilt he did, and I had to see sweet Zak as a little boy, full [...]

Void Born is here!

By | 2018-11-08T19:26:31+00:00 November 9th, 2018|Books|

I am so excited to announce that Void Born is officially out on Amazon and ready for your reading pleasure! (and book three will be out Spring 2019, have no fear) Along with the excitement of today being the release day, next week I'll be having a Facebook party with Edie Melson to celebrate, and y'all [...]

Getting closer to publishing day

By | 2018-05-21T07:26:45+00:00 May 21st, 2018|Books|

It's been a whirlwind over here, getting ready for the 'big day.' We ordered proofs a few weeks ago, and have been painstakingly going through every word, every comma, looking for typos and things that are missing or need adjustment. (Don't worry, I'm not the one looking at punctuation. It's not my forte and I know [...]

Deadlines

By | 2018-04-05T16:32:50+00:00 April 5th, 2018|Books|

I love deadlines. (No, seriously.) I love having a set goal for me to reach to, to struggle, to fight, to achieve. It keeps a fire lit under me and keeps me honed in and focused. No deadline? No productivity. No productivity? No books. What's difficult about being an indie author with self-set deadlines? No [...]

Book covers, line edits, and sketches, oh my!

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Building up steam

By | 2017-05-20T02:49:20+00:00 March 11th, 2017|Blog, Books|

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 [...]

Happy New Year!

I love the theoretical simplicity of January. It's the month after holidays, travel, family, friends, food, insane busyness. It's supposed to be the easy month in the year. Right? Wrong. Our January calendar has filled so quickly that I'm now looking forward to February to get my post-holiday breather! Game days, sick days, tournaments (for [...]
