Solo Old School
A few years back, I first discovered Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG, and then I found my way into the old-school renaissance sub-genre of table-top gaming, and since then, I’ve become obsessed with games like Old School Essentials and Maze Rats, and adventure settings like Dolmenwood. Unfortunately, I’ve had little opportunity to play any of these […]

This Is the Kind of Day I’m Having
I put my hand in the cup of coffee instead of the bowl of almonds.

Interview with the Blogin' Hobgoblin
Trevor Sherman over at the Blogin' Hobgoblin has graciously offered to give away a signed paperback copy of THE THIRTEEN TREASURES OF BRITAIN. Woo hoo! This is a rare opportunity because not only did I sign the book, but I also drew a doodle. Yes, I drew a little illustration inside the book. This is quite a big deal because I do not normally draw. So try to win this rare work of art if you can! You may never see its like again!
He also asked me some questions about my book, my thoughts on writing, and some fun things of general interest. And I, in turn, answered them. It's a pretty good interview, if I do say so myself.
Go HERE to check it out
Cheers!

The Things That Shaped Me: Lone Wolf RPG Adventure Books
I’m an incredibly nostalgic person. It also seems I’m not alone, judging by the popularity of stuff like Stranger Things and Ready Player One. In order to feed my ever-ravenous nostalgia, I’ve spent many an afternoon on eBay tracking down copies of the old tabletop role-playing games I used to own as a kid: MERP, […]

New Cover for Thirteen Treasures Is Here!
I ran a contest through 99Designs.com and it was awesome. I would definitely recommend it for other authors. I love this new cover, and I am excited to be working with the designer for books 2 & 3.

The Editing Process, Or How I Read Chris Fox’s Book and Everything Changed
I just re-read my post about being pregnant and wow, does it sound whiny. I won’t lie: things were not good in the first trimester. Sickness, extreme exhaustion, lots to do at my teaching job. But reading that post now. Eeeeesh. I sound like a whiny whiner who whines. My work habits have improved since […]

Swords, Dragons, and the Iconography of Fantasy
I am in the midst of reforging my relationship with fantasy literature. As a youngster, I read a lot of fantasy but fell out of the habit until I hit college. In college, I rediscovered Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, as well as myth and folklore, but it wasn’t until I read G.R.R.M.’s Game of Thrones and […]

Work Is Hard When You’re in the First Trimester
Good news: I’m pregnant. Due in October. Bad news: I feel nauseated ALL THE TIME. The term “morning sickness” is very misleading. Very misleading indeed. I feel the worst in the evenings, actually. But mornings, afternoons, evenings — they all suck. Just constant stomach churning. It’s like being seasick 24/7, but without a way to […]

I Will Be Bad at Marketing
In my twenties, I used to belong to a forum called Tolkien Online. This was when the Peter Jackson LOTR movies were going strong. I had read LOTR twice while in college and became a total fangirl. My love for fantasy literature had been rekindled (see my life’s story for more on that). I loved […]
