Reinvention
If you’re reading this, it’s probably because you got steered here from a page that no longer exists. That’s because I’m hard at work reinventing myself, my pursuits, my life. On October 17, 2017, my husband passed away. What followed were months that I only vaguely remember now, because everything was too shocking, too painful. […]

“The best fantasy is written in the language of dreams. It is alive as dreams are alive, more real than real ... for a moment at least ... that long magic moment before we wake.
Fantasy is silver and scarlet, indigo and azure, obsidian veined with gold and lapis lazuli. Reality is plywood and plastic, done up in mud brown and olive drab. Fantasy tastes of habaneros and honey, cinnamon and cloves, rare red meat and wines as sweet as summer. Reality is beans and tofu, and ashes at the end. Reality is the strip malls of Burbank, the smokestacks of Cleveland, a parking garage in Newark. Fantasy is the towers of Minas Tirith, the ancient stones of Gormenghast, the halls of Camelot. Fantasy flies on the wings of Icarus, reality on Southwest Airlines. Why do our dreams become so much smaller when they finally come true?
We read fantasy to find the colors again, I think. To taste strong spices and hear the songs the sirens sang. There is something old and true in fantasy that speaks to something deep within us, to the child who dreamt that one day he would hunt the forests of the night, and feast beneath the hollow hills, and find a love to last forever somewhere south of Oz and north of Shangri-La.
They can keep their heaven. When I die, I'd sooner go to middle Earth.”

I'm embarrassed to admit how long I spent tweaking all my profiles. Hopefully they're all good and I can leave them alone for a while!
I was wondering how long you'd wait to post your first book and switch to author status. Congratulations! I'm proud of you and I'm excited to read your countless books in the future.
Dudes, this site is awesome. Can't decide what to read next? I know, I know, you've got a to-read shelf that's a mile long, right? But sometimes it still seems like there's nothing you're interested in reading *right now.* That's where What Should I Read Next comes in. And it's pretty accurate in terms of looking for books following a similar vein. I love it. Check it out: http://www.whatshouldireadnext.com/
BACK UP YOUR GOODREADS! Goodreads switches from Amazon's API (data source) tomorrow, and some data may be lost. Supposedly all our stuff will be safe, but if you've invested any time at all into this site, you may want to be safe AND certain.
So, go to import/export on the left-hand side of your home screen, then click Export to CSV File in top right corner of the next page. We'll see what happens!

Three centuries ago, humans and aliens fought for control of the Earth, ending in an apocalyptic event known as the Catastrophe...
Dalan is a shapeshifter. He hails from a tribe of mutants dedicated to preserving fading species by taking their forms. To become fully recognized as an adult, he must pass a trial in the wastelands far from home.
Nyr is a killer. When her lust for bounty yields an ancient artifact of mysterious origin, everything she knows is turned upside down. Once a hunter, now a pawn, she must learn to rely on others to survive what’s coming.
Korreth is a slave. Without any extra talents, he depends on nothing more than his strength and wits as he flees the army of mutants that enslaved him. He must return home to warn his people before the swelling ranks of monsters threaten his family.
…but in the shadows, a new threat rises—one that could end what little remains of civilization: The Last of the Ageless.
