Magic at Midnight done! Next up: New World

Amy and I are all finished with edits for Magic at Midnight, and it’s been formatted and is in the final proof stage now! The authors are reviewing their proof copies of the ebook and when that’s done we’ll be able to send ARCs out, hopefully around the first of May. If you’re interested in receiving an ebook ARC and leaving a review, you can sign up here! I’m excited to get the paperback proof to see how the illustrations come out. I don’t remember if I ever mentioned it before, but the pape...

March is Survival Month! And other news

I have a backlog of news items that I wanted to post while I was in the middle of site redesign limbo, so here it all is in a catch-up post! First of all, another $0.99 sale (and other books you can get for cheap): March is Survival Month Last month I participated in The Kraken Collective‘s #KrakenFriends2018 anniversary sale, but I made a mistake: I ran my promotion as a Kindle Countdown Deal, which meant that it was not $0.99 in all markets—only in the US and UK. I didn’t realize that until...

New site!

If you’ve visited the site at all over the last week or so, you’ll have probably noticed several down periods and maybe even a couple different layouts. I’ve been working on getting a new site design implemented and I’m excited to say that it’s finally live! This one looks very different from my old one (even down to the color scheme!) but I love the way it looks and the super sci-fi feel of my new logo. Thanks to Lucid Themes for all their help getting the site set up!

Announcement: Brave New Girls

Long radio silence usually means that I’m up to something. (Or that I’m sick. But this time it means I’m up to something!) This year, I’m actually up to several somethings, and it’s time to announce one of them! I’m pleased to announce that I have a short story that’s going to be published in the third volume of Brave New Girls: Tales of Heroines Who Hack!

BRAVE NEW GIRLS: TALES OF HEROINES WHO HACK is a YA sci-fi anthology (edited by sci-fi authors Paige Daniels and Mary Fan) featuring stor...

Announcing a new anthology

Announcement time! You may remember a couple years ago I was supposed to co-edit and have a story in a sci-fi fairy tale retellings anthology. And then I got sick (this surprises no one). I’ve been feeling bad about that story, though. It’s been sitting there unfinished and neglected on my hard drive all this time. Then my publisher came up with the idea to do an anthology, so it lives again! *confetti*

Presenting: Magic at Midnight!
