Iron Unicorn in Audiobook Format!

Greetings. Iron Unicorn is now available to be downloaded here. (In Audiobook format.) I actually have had the files for a while, but I received them the day we left for vacation, and our travel internet could not handle the file size, so it went into the cheese grater factory that is my brain. The data regarding the existence of this file was shredded.

Sorry. That is my fault. I have to write stuff like this down, and I didn’t have a planner with me while on vacation, so it didn’t get writte...

A Guiding Light is now available in audiobook format at the Patreon store!

You can purchase the audiobook here for $12.99. A Guiding Light will be moving to retail (Audible, Kobo/Kobo Plus, etc) on February 1, 2025.

Thank you for your support! I’m back to the trenches to get Booked for Theft written so it can release on time. As always, I’m behind schedule. Whoops!

Audiobook Update (Shadowed Flame is now out!) Plus Other News!

Greetings! Welcome to 2025. May we navigate through this year without much fuss and with more joy than grief.

I want to say I’ll be brief, but there is a lot of stuff to cover, so I’m getting to it.

Audiobook Updates: all but one or two audiobooks have been uploaded to all vendors. The stragglers will be dealt with later. A Guiding Light has been proofed, and the changes are with the narrator for completion. I expect 1-2 months before it is sent over to the Patreon store, and then another ...

Happy Holidays! Experimental Voyage has released!

When a spaceship accident costs Camellia her chance to explore the universe as a botanist, she jumps at the chance to be a test subject on an experimental voyage. If the gamble restores her hearing, her dreams for the future will no longer be out of reach.

Venturing into the depths of space is dangerous enough, but when a shiftgem gate develops a mind of its own and yanks them into uncharted space, Camellia’s skills and tolerance are tested. Her chance to explore a new world proves to be ...

I did an “Oops”!

As far as oopses go, this one is minor… I went to push through a few tiny typo corrections on Amazon for Experimental Voyage, and I may have accidentally included the Patreon notes/author note forward with the book. So, if it’s included, you get to see one of the more unusual Patreon notes. If not, no harm no foul. But if you see an author note starting off with “I’m tired…” well, you got a special peek into the Patreon world.

And yes, even the best proofreaders in the world miss stuff, which...

I am using a picture of my very novice quilt practice start as the focal picture for today’s post. I am creating a row and joining it to the square each day. (Well, I’m trying to at any rate.)

I am learning a lot, and I learn through making mistakes. I’m very happy with all my little mistakes.

My husband is not happy with the cost of fabric, nor the garbage bag absolutely loaded with fabric that has been seam-ripped and otherwise frayed into oblivion as I learn how to actually sew.

A New Vendor! (Meet Campfire!)

For those who like exploring new vendors, my titles are rolling out to a place called Campfire. (It’s one part writing app, one part reading app, overall, pretty nifty!)

My Witch & Wolf books (RJ Blain) and my Bernadette Franklin titles are up to bat first, and the rest of my catalogue will be rolling out in the upcoming days. You can check out Inquisitor here.

Anyway, this is a thing if this is the type of thing you are interested in!

Just a General Update

Going to be short and sweet with this; the complex painted my front door today, and I’m living in allergy and asthma hell. (Hooray.)

1: No, I don’t have a date for when the next Magic, Mayhem, and the Law book will be.

2: Yes, the Secret Society of Red Pandas is the title of the next Audrey Greene book. (This may be subject to change if I happen to write two of them side by side and the other is finished first.)

3: I just received fancy stickers in the mail for those of you who mailed i...
