Happy Birthday, Asssistant Aloshua!

Today is a very special day.
My sweet little minion assistant, Aloshua (or Losh) is turning nine!
Losh is pretty much the best assistant an author could ask for. He's taken FADE into the operating room with him so all his nurses and doctors could see it. He's assisted me at book signings. He's helped pick our charities of choice and delivers donations to them. He brings me donuts and caffeine. He introduces me to VIPs like Mickey Mouse and Batman and Ronald McDonald. And he's pretty much the cu...

Unveiling FLAME - The Ragnarok Prophesies: Book Three

Hello lovelies,

Several of you have asked recently if I plan to finish the Ragnarok Prophesies series, so I wanted to take a minute to reassure you that Ari and Dace's story will be finished. I'm in the process of writing the third book, FLAME, now.

Which is the other reason we're here today. :) To celebrate the end of the Ragnarok Prophesies review tour (and to thank all of you who participated), I'm unveiling the (unofficial) blurb and prologue to FLAME!

I'm not going to say anything about it...

Revising, Rewriting, and the Importance of Critique Partners

Most people never get from, "I've always wanted to write a book." to "I've written a book, so now what do I do?" If you've made the leap, congratulations! You've officially taken the one step many aspiring authors never do: You've finished writing an entire novel.

That's a big deal.

Stop for a moment and appreciate the incredible thing you've just done.

Finished appreciating?

Good.

Now the real work begins.

Contrary to popular belief, writing involves more than just finishing a manuscript, especial...

The tornado disaster in my community. #prayforarkansas

Vilonia, AR - Carlo Allegri/ReutersHello, lovelies,

As many of you know, I live in Little Rock, Arkansas.

When the storms hit, my phone started blowing up. Calls, texts, emails, and instant messages poured in Sunday night into Monday morning, and then into the afternoon and evening hours. Friends and readers from around the world popped in to check and make sure me, SS, and our family were safe.

We are safe.

We live about 20 minutes from the area that was hit, so it missed us.

So many others weren...

Varima-te-takere #atozchallenge

V - Like Utset and Gaia, Varima-te-takere is another of the world's primordial mother goddesses. According to the mythology of the Cook Islands, Varima-te-takere lived in a tiny egg in the mud at the bottom of the ocean of Avaiki. Her space was so small, she could barely move. Varima-te-takere subsisted on raw taro (a tropical plant).

Varima-te-takere desperately wanted children, so she shaped them from her body. From her left side, she shaped Vatea (father of the gods). From her right, she cr...
