Broken Mirrors Release Party: Interview with Madisyn Carlin [Shattered Reflection]

Hey'a! It's time for the second Broken Mirrors release: Madisyn Carlin's Shattered Reflection. This is a non-magical take on The Snow Queen, which promises to be fascinating. You can, of course, read my whole review over on Light and Shadows, or you can stick around here to get a little insight into the author herself in the interview I did with her. And, of course, you can check out the rest of the tour stops and the giveaway on the release main page. And now, let's learn a bit more about both ...

Broken Mirrors Release Party: Interview with Ginny [Snowfield Palace]

Hello, everyone! It's less than a week until Christmas — but if you're excited for new fairy tale retellings, you may feel like Christmas has already arrived! That's right, it's Broken Mirrors release week, and right up until Christmas Eve, we're celebrating several new Snow Queen retellings! Our first, of course, is the latest in Kendra E. Ardnek's Austen Fairy Tale series, Snowfield Palace, which blends The Snow Queen with Mansfield Park. You can find my review of the book (which is quite good...

Winter 2022–2023 Reads

Oh, look, a seasonal post is going up on time! In fact, it's going up early! Though not as early as it would have had I not realized that last Friday was, in fact, December 9, not December 16. (This is what they don't tell you about working at a church, y'all! You kind of end up living in two weeks at once, especially around the holidays.) Anyway. This winter has some releases I am immensely excited about — but before I get into that, don't forget that there's still time to preorder Through a Sh...

WE HAVE STICKERS!

Hey'a everyone! No Friday 5s today because I've been busy with work and getting ready for the tour, but I did want to make sure y'all didn't miss the announcement I made earlier this week, which is that WE HAVE STICKERS!

These stickers portray Alys Gerda and Kai Hatter, the main characters in Through a Shattered Glass, and feature art by the lovely Chloe Grace (@chloegraceartist on Instagram). Want to know how to get one? All you have to do is preorder an ebook of Through a Shattered Glass or ord...

November 2022 Doings!

Hello all! December is here, which means CHRISTMAS — but that is not the point of this post. The point of this post is November's doings. And last month was, in fact, pretty busy and pretty productive, especially on the writing front. So, let's get to it!

Writing!

Good news! Through a Shattered Glass is formatted and will be ready to send off for ARCs and my author proof copy (which I'll use to do one of two final proofreads) this weekend! That doesn't mean that ARC readers will receive their copi...

On the Taleweaver's Desk Issue 6: Novmeber 2022

 

Hello, everyone! Once again, my Taleweaver's Desk update is coming out a month after I originally intended it to; if this happens a third time, I'm going to have to think about permanently adjusting the schedule. In any case, the post is here now, and that's the important thing. As a reminder, On the Taleweaver's Desk is my quarterly broad-view update on my writing projects. If you want to know more about any project in this post, you can ask me in comments or take a look at my Works in Progres...

Why I Love the Schlock Mercenary Webcomic

Hello all! Over the last couple weeks, I have been rereading Schlock Mercenary, a completed sci-fi adventure webcomic chronicling the escapades of a group of space mercenaries as they get into and out of trouble in their repeated efforts to stay alive, make payroll, and repeatedly save the galaxy. Some of you — possibly a fair number of you — may have heard of it already; it ran consistently for twenty years, and it was nominated for a few awards in that time (and I'm not sure which of those is ...

A Superhero for Christmas Release Tour: Interview with H.L. Burke

 

Hello hello! This week, I'm hopping on the release festivity train for H.L. Burke's newest release, A Superhero for Christmas, which comes out tomorrow, November 5. This Supervillain Rehabilitation Project spinoff is a crossover between two genres: superhero action and Hallmark holiday-esque rom-com. I've really enjoyed Heidi's SVR books, and this was no exception. You can head over to Light and Shadows to find out what I liked, but before you do that, I have an interview with Heidi here in whi...

October 2022 Doings!

Hello hello hello! You may notice that, unlike a lot of my posts lately, October Doings is going up on the early side. For one thing, today is actually closer to the end of October than next Friday will be . . . but also, next Friday is going to be taken up with a blog tour, so here we are! While we only have a few weeks to cover, they've been a busy few weeks, so let's get going.

Writing!

So, the good news is that BDPI #4 is still coming along pretty smoothly. I'm averaging a little over a chapte...
