New Cover Art for Memory’s Wake Released!

In my usual indecisive way, I’ve decided that I didn’t like the cover art for Memory’s Wake. I’ve been working on the new cover and come up with something I’m pleased with, that I think will sell a stack more books, too. I wanted to surprise you all with a brand new cover design! Here [...]

I know lots of people are patiently waiting for me to get the next book in Memory's Wake released, so here's a little update of where [...]

Ask Selina- Starting Out as an Artist

"For an artist just starting out how would you suggest they get their work out there?" This is a question I get asked a lot, and it's a really tricky one to answer because of one major factor- things are very different now from when I was first starting out. My second disclaimer is that [...]

I often have awesome dreams where I'm quite lucid. Many play out entire storylines like watching a movie, but only sometimes do I remember [...]
