A Wonderful Day
Today I didn’t do any writing, marketing, critting, or reading. Instead, my husband, mother and I took the kids to the Kansas Cosmosphere. It was the first time my kids have been there. They had an absolute blast.
We spent the entire day there. We went through the museum twice, watched Tornado Alley in the Imax theater, watched the planetarium show, and went to Dr. Goddard’s Lab where we watched the guy blow up a giant cotton ball soaked in liquid oxygen. He also used ‘sercret rocket fuel’ to...

Feature and Review Breath of Air by Katie Jennings
This week I am going to do something a little different. I don’t normally do a lot of reviews, but on occasion, I enjoy a story enough that I get inspired to do one. In this case, four.

Excerpt from Tears of War
Kirynn sat in the saddle on Syrakynn, waiting for Vaddoc to be ready. The light orbs and torches set around the caldera rim held back the dark of a new moon. Two Defenders stood near, ready to lead the horses through the Slide. Thanks to her dragon-bond, she could pick out the scrollwork on the horses saddles. Namir stood her left, Cat already on the saddle. Kirynn shook her head, remembering the night when Cat had so scared a very young Namir. Now, the dragon refused to leave for Shadereen w...

Feature and Interview with John W. Hawthorne
This week I am featuring author John W. Hawthorne and his fascinating book, Haven and Hope.

The propaganda failed to mention the searing headaches, the random misfiring of various bodily functions, or the occasional creation of newfound abilities. Further testing was clearly requ...

Book Trailer
So yesterday, I decided I was going to make a book trailer. Inspired by Katie Jennings (author of the Dryad Quartet) I set forth do this. It was easier inspired than done. I am not the most tech savvy person, but thankfully my husband was here to help when I got to the point of wanting to throw my computer at the wall. After much frustration a few light bulb moments, I finally finished it…at 1am. It took me nearly 12 hours (okay not non-stop, I did stop to feed my children and referee a few a...
