Wishes and More art by Students in the South St. Paul School District
Ireceived a postcard in the mail from Wishes and More the other day. The front side was a colorful illustration by one of the children from the South Saint Paul Public School District and on the back was a wonderful note thanking me for my contribution of Bloodmark swag to the Wishes and More 2014 Winter Ball. I’m so honored to be part of their amazing experience for kids! And the note and art brightened my day!
Do your part and donate to your favorite charity. It warms the heart.

Meet Rhonda Jane in Bloodrealms
In my journey with myKickstarter campaignin 2013, I had a reward tier where you could have a character named after you in the second book in the Bloodmark saga. And one wonderful person donated to that reward tier, Rhonda Jane Luschen. So as I have been writing Bloodrealms, I knew exactly where I would find Rhonda Jane!
When I started writing her first scene in the book I got chills. Ashling the protagonist first meets Rhonda Jane in a standoff and the tension and character-chemistry between t...

My Right of Passage

Telling myself it would come and someone somewhere would say something awful about my work. And that is their opinion and they have a right to say it, but it doesn’t make it hurt less. There is no real way to prepare for the moment that the haters start coming to break down your work, your hopes and your art.
It is nearly debil...

Happy New Year!
I started 2013 off with a nerve-wrecking Kickstarter project. Watching day after day to see if I would reach my coveted goal by the time the last drop of sand fell. And I did! It was amazing and that began a whirl-wind of excitement. I hired Amy Quale of Wise Ink Publishing as my editor and began!
In the midst of it all I lost my mom to cancer and through my darkest days and devastated heart Bloodmark was still published on time on November 1, 2013! I am so proud and honored to be able to shar...
