Heaven’s Take on The Grigori Legacy

I have a fun Friday treat for you! A while back, Lucy, the blog owner at Moonlight Gleam’s Bookshelf, asked me to do a character post for her blog. I agreed, but I have to admit that I utterly dreaded doing it. I don’t know what it is about character posts, but I absolutely freeze […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Thoughtful Thursday

Imagination is the one weapon in the war against reality. – Jules de Gaultier

Wordless Wednesday

What’s New in the Grigori World

So I have a few things to report, and rather than create a deluge of posts for my Facebook and Twitter followers, I thought a quick blog post was the better route. First up, I have picked up the DVD for my first-ever television interview on a local cable show here in Ottawa (Roger’s Daytime) […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Monday Musings

As we head into another week (can it really be the second week of May already?!?), I thought I’d start a random new blog theme. A theme because I need some way of keeping myself on track and actually posting here. (Me? Sporadic? Damn…you noticed.) And random because you may also have noticed that I […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

I’m in the running for the “Best Response Taken Completely Out of Context” award, and I need your vote to win.

Tick Tock: giveaways ending soon!

The Sins of the Son blog tour is already into its final week, can you believe it? Which means the book itself has been on shelves for four whole weeks…in case you were counting…which maybe I am… *whistles innocently*  ;) Anyway, the point (and yes, there is one) is that you still have time to […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Playing with Hellfire: The Christian Mythology behind The Grigori Legacy

While The Grigori Legacy series is not (and was never intended to be) religious in nature, it’s no secret that I built its world on Christian angel mythology. I must admit to having some trepidations about basing my back story so closely on foundations that are familiar—and precious—to so many. Trepidations, incidentally, which were not […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...
