Chasing Dreams by Moonlight.

Every night this week, I’ve been piled in blankets up to my chin, with my laptop writing feverishly into the night. As I’ve said before, I’m a nocturnal writer. I spend my days making beautiful, conceptual and challenging designs and ads for major corporations, my evenings chasing my sweet toddler and then I write until […]

Packs, Details and Family Trees

On the new website, I’m excited to talk about the packs, like the Boru, Ashling’s family. Each of the major packs in the Bloodmark Saga has a place on the site, in the World of Bloodmark. I made the family trees and hand drew the symbols so that all of my fans had a deeper […]

The Loft YA Literary Conference

I attended my first Young Adult Literary Conference this last weekend hosted at Minneapolis’ own Loft. Being a social recluse I panic in social situations with people I don’t know, I hate large crowds and am often a wall flower. There I said it.

Real Life

Real life is hard. I remember being a middle-schooler thinking, when I’m a teenager this will all be easier, but then I was a teenager and I thought when I’m out of high school this will all be easier, then college, then adult hood and so on and so forth. But the intriguing thing is, […]

Real Life

Real life is hard. I remember being a middle-schooler thinking, when I’m a teenager this will all be easier, but then I was a teenager and I thought when I’m out of high school this will all be easier, then college, then adult hood and so on and so forth. But the intriguing thing is, somethings do get easier and somethings get harder. That’s life. It’s an adventure. But the part that is important is perspective.
