As a science fiction author, I spend a lot of time thinking about humanity's future. This is a list of 10 things I want for Christmas that I hope humanity can achieve someday (I sincerely doubt it will happen within my lifetime).
Equality of gender, race, orientation, etc
- We're all different. Let's put that out there right now. But that does not mean that one "different" is better than

Christmas Wishlists: 10 Books I'd Love Under My Tree
Bird Box - Josh Malerman
The blurb for this book left me feeling so claustrophobic. And there's something utterly terrifying about the book's premise: if you can't look at something, how can you protect yourself from it?
The Mirror Empire - Kameron Hurley
What if the only way to save yourself was to kill yourself. A different you, I mean? This book just sounds all different kinds of amazing.

Advancements in Assisting the Blind
In this latest book, one of my main characters is blind. It
was a really interesting challenge to write her, as I am guilty of giving little to no though to the struggles
the blind face in our current society. So when I was working with Ray, I started looking into that and more specifically the things that
help them.
People with sight very rarely consider the myriad of things

The Salvation of Rayna Castiq - Out Now!
Today, the third novel in the Flynn Monroe series is out! If you read the first chapter yesterday, you already know that my non Flynn main character is Rayna Castiq (the title might have given that away) and that Ray is blind.
Buy the book in print or for kindle.
Ray has interesting beginnings. She existed in the first draft of the first book I wrote for this series (not the first book

Only the apologetic may ask for redemption.
Rayna Castiq had done a number of stupid things in her life.
On a dare, she’d climbed the scaffold of Pontiac Five’s interior power coils.
She’d eaten raw Flandorian squid because her sister told her she was a chicken

Some Changes for the Coming New Year
Reviews:
I’ve decided I’m going to stop reviewing books on the blog.
I’ll still be reviewing them over on GoodReads, and I’m going to start going
through my Amazon stuff and getting better about that, but for now…. No more
on-the-blog reviews (except in special circumstances).
I’m still perfectly happy to host release tings and items of
that nature, I’ll just be posting very few reviews on

IWSG: Hiding in my closet.
This post is part of the Insecure Writer's Support Group
Monday, someone told me I need to do more marketing. It was all I could do to not laugh. Tell me something I don’t know.
Some days, I feel like I’m writing in a closet. I can hear others milling about on the other side of the door and when I have a book done, I slide it under that door and start on the next. And it feels like I
