News: Submissions and Editing

10/10/13

The Oracle’s Hatchling has been accepted by LT3! The contract is in the mail, so once that’s situated we’ll start talking about release dates and all the other fun stuff. This series is really taking off!


Magnified was not accepted, which I had kind of expected to happen. It’s an odd story with a backhanded romance that didn’t quite fit in with LT3. So now I have to decide if I want to submit with a different publisher, self-publish, or if I want to rewor...

Out Now: Bloody Kiss

10/9/13
Out Now: Bloody Kiss, part of LT3’s Proud to be a Vampire Anthology.





Lis had been enjoying his school trip to Egypt until a statue came to life and drank his blood. Back home in Boston, nothing feels or tastes or smells quite the same, he’s plagued by strange dreams, and has a craving that nothing seems to satisfy—until the statue shows up again.

News: Visiting Friends, Writing, and A New Book Cover

9/22/13

I stopped by Top 2 Bottom reviews today to have a little chat. We had fun, so be sure to check out our conversation! They were also kind enough to review Road to Revenge and they gave it 4 kisses.


I have been writing a lot. Unfortunately, I have not been able to concentrate on just one story at a time. I wrote Magnified, which is a very odd short story. I went ahead and submitted it to LT3, so I’ll wait and see if they want it. I have also written a lot for The Red Apple Witch, a...

Writing: Old Stories and the Muse Bug

9/17/13

Way back in my writing days, before the Dragon’s Hoard was even a glimmer in my eye, there were stories that I wanted to write but just didn’t have the know-how to get the words onto paper properly. The characters and the plot were demanding too much from me and I couldn’t respond with a story that I felt proud of. Now, years later, my abilities as a writer have expanded and one of those old stories has been contracted by LT3 for their serial page. Paint, Guns, Money,...

News: End of Summer Writing Plans

9/03/13

Happy September everyone! I hope the end of summer treats you well. It’s certainly treating me well so far! Here’s all my good news:


First and foremost, yesterday was the very last day of my crazy summer job. I will suddenly have so much more time for writing that I don’t know what might happen. Hopefully I’ll be able to get a lot of books written in my Oracle series. I’m also planning on getting my Trickster’s Eye series off the ground, I need to kee...
