In which I look at the calendar and go “what?”

Nearly a month with no new blog post? Yikes! I am sorry, darlings! Time has just gotten away from me, with family vacation (camping), working on school projects, going to the gym, and just enjoying the time off from work. I have written a load of words this summer, something close to 20,000, which is pretty good considering I don’t sit in front of the computer all day long.


So now here it is, a month since the last post, and I have no idea what to write. I’d like to do another video blog (know...

Summer Rewind: Warehouse 13

Warehouse 13


I am a Netflix/Amazon video streaming junkie. There, I’ve admitted it. (The first step in getting help is admitting you’ve got a problem). I don’t watch a lot of movies on either service; but I DO watch a good many of my favorite TV shows.

A “What you want to know” interview and giveaway!

So, I’m thinking you all (all five of you that read this) want to know more about me and my books. And I want to TELL you, I sure do. But I don’t want to just blather on about stuff you don’t care about.


Just for fun, here’s what we’re going to do. You have a burning question about me or my new book, THE SWORD OF DANU? Post it in the comments on THIS post. I will take those questions and answer them in a video blog!


Oh, and everyone who sends in a question will be entered in a grab-bag giveaway...
