First things first, I’m about 40,000 words into An Elegy for Hope, but this book is a beast and while writing it is fun, it’s requiring just an absolutely shocking amount of research and the going is slow. I’m aiming for publication early in 2020, hopefully in January or February. This book expands the world…

I’ve been noodling how I want to attack my next Deep Dive topic for a while now. The problem is, it’s so expansive, and there’s just so much of it, and I used so much of what I learned as jumping-off points for my worldbuilding, that I just don’t think it can all fit in…

This post was supposed to go up yesterday, but I realized I scheduled it to drop at the wrong time, and I’m also heavily medicated after a pretty rough surgery. The two elements combined and, instead of fixing the time this post was supposed to drop, I accidentally deleted it, and then I got really,…

The police swiftly pivoted and began investigating her. Confronted with inconsistencies in her story and the…

Dear Reader, I am having a really hard time writing this, mostly because I just have so many thoughts. So many. Just piles and piles of thoughts. Let me start by saying this. This SFF community is really that — a community, despite the fact that we are spread out across the globe. We pull…

About the Book An urban fantasy, pacy, funny and compelling to the last page… Healer Sean Danet is immortal—a fact he has cloaked for centuries, behind army lines and now a paramedic’s uniform. Having forgotten most of his distant past, he has finally found peace—and love. But there are some things you cannot escape, however…
