Book Review: Queen of the Night
This story of an opera singer in the 19th century is somewhere between a 3 and a 4 for me--a 4 because I'm a sucker for an opera plot, which this is, and deliberately so: over the top, improbable, and determined largely by the machinations of fate--and a 3 because it is exactly all those things, and in this particular case, it keeps the reader at a bit of a disbelieving remove. The first 200 pages are full of heavy-handed foreshadowing--sometimes paragraphs of it--which is numbing, and the

Happy 2016!
Today happens to be my birthday, which is usually a day when I get all introspective and do things like contribute to the general insanity of choosing my favorite things of the year. (Me, not quite 1 year old) So, my favorite things of 2015 (assuming it matters to anyone but me): Movies: Star Wars: The Force Awakens (Hey, I am that person who stood in line and PAID to see the original Star Wars THIRTY-FIVE times. The Force Awakens reminded me of what it felt like to be that person again)

New Book!
I'm very excited to announce that I have just sold another book to Lake Union Publishing. This one--adult historical fiction--is scheduled to be released in January, 2017, though that is tentative. Unfortunately I can't tell you anything about it ... yet. I'm currently finishing a second draft (with 2 or 3 more to go), so what it will ultimately end up being about is anyone's guess. :) But I'm very pleased to share this news at last!

Just a reminder that Tales of the Fianna--companion short stories to The Fianna Trilogy--are now available on Kindle, Kobo and Nook! These illustrated tales about the Fianna warriors in ancient Ireland stand alone, but are great backstory for those of you interested in all things Derry, Finn and Oscar!
