Today’s the day!

It’s a bit hard to fathom that after all these months of preparation,The Blood-Tainted Winter is actually venturing out into the world. I feel as though I should walk the streets of London as my own tiny paradeand abig sign announcing that today is, in fact, different from yesterday. I’d have balloons, of course, a […]

Hello. Yep, that’s me on Pinterest….

I’ve been a member of Pinterest for quite some time, actually, but I’ve always been a low-volume user. But I know quite a few authors out there who relentlessly pin images to inspiration boards for everything from WIPs to published novels to story kernels that may never see the light of day. And if they’re […]

12 Things I’ve Learned

I’ve been in London for nearly two months now. This is what I’ve learned: American peanut butter is infinitely superior to UK peanut butter. The whole walking on the right concept? Nonexistent.

What’s in a Name? Or, how the book got a title.

If you watched the video I made for my Kickstarter campaign, you may recall that the title for this book,The Blood-Tainted Winter, has a history, a meaning. But for the wider audience, I thought I’d share that here and give you another glimpse into the evolution of this story. Have you read Beowulf? I have. […]

A Bird’s Eye View

The map is done! The map-making process was something of a roller-coaster ride. I originally was in talks with a cartographer in France and I was very excited about his work, but when our stream of communication dried up back at the end of June, I became concerned. Turns out a personal situation was going […]

What’s an Edda?

You ask a good question. You’ve seen it now on the cover: The Song of the Ash Tree — First Edda. And maybe you’ve scratched your head. I’m here to help. The term edda is taken from the Poetic and Prose Eddas, works written down in the 13th century in Iceland and containing traditional material […]

Cover Reveal!

At long last, I’m thrilled to reveal the cover for The Blood-Tainted Winter. I just love the gnarly roots of Yggdrasil creeping in from the top and the red stain across the title. But the raven…he’s coming for you. A big thanks to Alisha and the team at Damonza for the work that’s been done […]
