Tin Swift – Giveaway!
I've been talking a lot about MAGIC WITHOUT MERCY (because it comes out in 2 weeks!!) but I have another book coming out soon.
TIN SWIFT hits shelves in July. It is book 2 in the Age of Steam steampunk series, and continues the adventures of cursed bounty-hunter Cedar Hunt, witch Mae Lindson, deviser Rose Small, and the mysterious Madder brothers. One of the great things about the Age of Steam series is that the books can stand alone. I think a reader will get more out of TIN SWIFT if they...

Excerpt Wednesday — Magic Without Mercy
Only nineteen days until Magic Without Mercy is on the shelves! Sometimes my books show up in stores early, so really, it might only be a little over a week before it starts popping up here and there. If you do get your hands on it early, let me know. I love hearing about the early catches in the wild (and I am not one of those authors who doesn't want readers to buy the book early, so don't worry about that.)
A few cool things have happened over the last week. I got my very first peek at t...

In the Hard March Wind
I haven't had two full days off for I don't know how long. Weekends, holidays, and even vacation time have been filled with writing and deadlines.
Because of that, my best friend convinced me that we should celebrate the submission of the final book in the Allie Beckstrom series by *gasp* taking a whole 2.5 days off *over a weekend*(!) at the beach.
So we did. Last weekend, my best friend and I packed our bags, intending to do nothing but stare at the ocean, eat good seafood, and drink...

Excerpt Wednesday – Magic Without Mercy
Ah-ha! It is *still* Wednesday in my neck of the woods which means that for once, I am putting up the Wednesday excerpt post on time!
What's been going on this week? Well, two of the four members of my house are down with a cold-bronchitis-plague crud, poor things. 
Our house repairs continue, but the Do-It-Or-It-Will-Fall-Down list is much smaller now, so that's good. We've had more March weather (which I personally adore) including a morning of snow on the ground, bursts of hail...

Excerpt Wednesday – Magic Without Mercy
Here it is, NOT Wednesday again, and time for the should-have-been-posted-Wednesday excerpt!
Last week I was distracted by the repair work going on at my house, which, since I'm a writer, is also where I work. The repairs are still in full swing, and just to make things even more treacherous, we have a nice layer of snow and ice out there this morning. Snow was not a problem when they were setting brace boards in the basement to support the weight of the sagging roof. But today they are...

Wednesday Excerpt – Magic Without Mercy
I'm sorry I didn't get the Wednesday Excerpt up on Wednesday. We're going through some house reconstruction, just little things like making sure the roof doesn't fall in and the kitchen wiring doesn't burn the house down. The contractor working on the house has been awesome so far.
Wednesday was scheduled for the electrician to come in and work on the kitchen wiring. Since the electricity was going to be turned off, I packed up my work and headed down to the coffee shop.
I couldn't update my ...

Covers, Lovely Covers
I'm going to blame this post on Pinterest. If you haven't tried this cool site, might I suggest you give it a click? Basically, it's a place to share all the neat stuff you see online, from DIY arts, crafts, architecture, photography, recipes, fashion, and more.
I've just started posting a few things there (like my knitting, and some photos that I used as inspiration when I was writing TIN SWIFT) and I hope to continue making "boards" (kind of like photo albums) of the things that catch my e...
