How was your NYE? For NYE, we went to Shine, a party featuring all things shiny and glittery. It was a lot of fun and I got randomly sprayed with glitter! The next day, for a total opposite experience, I tried out a sensory deprivation floatation tank. A very sci-fi experience and good way to get over the NYE hangover. I felt like I was floating in outer space.

Speaking of space, I finally saw Star Wars! 



Best of 2015: I'm so thrilled that Morgan le Fay made V's Reads most Resilient Heroines list!

What's in store this year?

I got a new gig! I've got a post set for tomorrow with more details.

In other news, a big project of my very own is brewing.

How about books? I've got these guys making their way this year: a picture book, a graphic novel, a new novel, and... yes, Le Fay Series will continue! As soon as my projects find their destiny, I will announce details. 

My ultimate 2016 goal is to start the big project and be on track for steady growth. 

Don't forget my holiday gift for you, dear readers! The giveaway is still on!

Year in Review - 2015

My favorite kind of year is when there's a lot of change and growth and this one certainly had that! Thank you, 2015! Also a big thank you to my readers who have continued the Le Fay Series this year!

Spring:

Summer: 

-Got married to a super awesome human being named Joe!

Fall: 

-Finished Halo 5, my seventh video game, and also my third novel SWORD!
-Got ducks! Phantom and Paimei. We got them as sweet ducklings. They will produce eggs in the spring! They are super pets! They inspire my connection with nature and I got into gardening more than ever.
-Had an unexpected epiphany that will shape the next chapter in my career.



Winter: 

-Wrapped up my work with Microsoft. It was a great experience working with a big company and franchise.

SWORD - Holiday Recipe and Gift Ideas

Happy Holidays! I hope everyone is having a festive week!

Here are some SWORD themed holiday food and gift ideas! You know what grows in Avalon? Apples! In fact, the name Avalon even means apple. To party up Avalon style, try mixing in finely chopped apples and cinnamon powder into your favorite muffin recipe. Once you place the batter into muffin cups, top with more chopped apples. You can also top it with caramel or marshmallow for more flavor combos. The juiciness of the apples really complements the muffins. 

Here are some Avalon Apple Muffins that I made for the SWORD release party:




Is your friend or family an Arthurian fan? Here are SWORD themed gift ideas:

If you missed HENGE's holiday post last year, it's here. Happy Holidays! I'll be back on the blog next week with presents.

Holiday Charity 2015

I hope everyone is having a fantastic holiday week! I'm enjoying my vacation: finally got a Christmas tree, went shopping, and saw the Nutcracker Burlesque!

Every Christmas week I give royalties earned from my books toward charity. Information below:

Sales from CLAN will go to Cancer Research Institute in memory of my grandmother.
Sales from Le Fay Series (HENGE and SWORD) will go to Born This Way Foundation, which focuses on empowering youth and inspiring bravery.





I am also donating a few paperbacks to Women's Prison Book Project. While I was writing SWORD I researched prison and learned how important books are to prisoners. I hope you will also consider donating!

Thank you and Happy Holidays!
