Like all storytellers, I love to spin new tales wherever I go, and have left a trail of giants, fairies, battles, and magic from the sun-soaked coasts of California to the regular-soaked flatlands of Belgium, and everywhere in between.

Blood of the Fey, her first published novel and the first in the Morgana Trilogy, was written at coffee shops between a day job in finance and nights of "research" watching Korean dramas. Rise of the Fey is the second entry in the series and was finished in winter-time Brussels, where the pounding rain soothed the rambunctious temper that inevitably arose after long editorial hours.

For a closer look at my devious mind’s inner workings, please check out my blog.

A Note On Pleasure

[image error]

All of us, even when we are doing exactly what we love, can momentarily focus too much attention on accomplishing the goal and forget to pay attention to our pleasure.
That is the precise moment to take a break. Stress and burnout occur if you don't. Ecstasy returns to you if you do.
~Regena Thomashauer in her book Mama Gena's School of Womanly Arts: Using the Power of Pleasure... Read more of this blog post »
