Starburner Cover Reveal + Preorder Bonuses!

OMG guys, it’s time! My edits for Starburner, the last book in my Moonburner Cycle are complete, and the preorder is LIVE. *Fans self*.

The Next Step: I’m writing more!

Just wanted to share some exciting news! As many of you know, for the past two years, I’ve been working 4 days per week as a lawyer, and squeezing writing into my day off + weekends. It worked well for the most part, though it felt like there was never quite enough time for writing, my day job, or time with family and friends. 

When I re-self-published Moonburner in August of last year and launched Sunburner, something magical started to happen. I STARTED. TO. MAKE. MONEY. There are no en...

2017 Rundown and 2018 Goals!

Did it seem to anyone else like 2017 whizzed by? I for one can’t believe we are already solidly into 2018! But before we get too far, I thought I would take the time to revisit last year’s goals, and to plan for this upcoming year.

It’s nice to look back and realize I kicked some serious butt meeting last year’s goals! Here’s what I planned out for the year:

Consistently get up early to do my author work before I head to work Finish revising Sunburner and publish it, with a goal of a Jun...

Bookish Gift Ideas for this Holiday Season

I can’t believe it’s almost December! I don’t know about you, but for me, this year has flown by. I haven’t been blogging as much, as I’ve been trying to spend my limited free time writing books (almost done with my latest book, Starburner!). But, I thought I’d take a quick moment to give you a little help with your Christmas lists by highlighting some ideas for the book-lover in your life!

Here’s a list of the top 10 YA books of 2017–all great gifts for the book lover in your life!  If...

The War of Art: Overcoming Resistance

Two weeks ago, I finished writing my fourth novel. I set an ambitious pace for myself–2,000 words a day, or a whole book in 40 days. For the most part, I stuck to my goal, and finished in 43 days. But the road to get there wasn’t easy. Getting myself to sit down and write that much every day without fail felt like a Herculean effort.

My husband and I have had this certain disagreement multiple times–he refers to writing as my hobby, and I get prickly about it. On the one hand, I can see his p...

Happy Sunburner Launch Day!

It’s officially arrived: launch day for my second book, Sunburner! I wrote the first draft of Sunburner in the fall of 2015, so this book has definitely been a long time coming! I can’t wait for all of you to read the continuation of Kai and Hiro’s adventures. 

Here’s the blurb, if you’re wondering what it’s about:

Kai, the newly-crowned queen of Miina, finds her reign threatened by a plague of natural disasters that leave death and destruction in their wake. Are the gods truly angry at t...

New books ahead!

They say that professing a goal to the world will help motivate you to keep it. So, in that spirit, I wanted to share a new challenge I’m embarking on this fall. (I can’t believe it’s fall already!) Thus far, I’ve written one book each year for the last three years. But, I’m interested in getting more books into the world in the hopes to build some more fans and momentum for my author side-biz. So, I decided to set a bold goal for myself: I’m going to write three books in the next four mo...
