Back to the Beginning - Steampunk & Sleuths!

I know, I’ve sent out a lot of newsletters of late, but there have been so many fun promotions to share! Today, I’m taking a quick jump back in time to the Steampunk world of my debut novel, The Girl and the Clockwork Cat, book one of the completed Clockwork Enterprises series. Clockwork Cat was the book that got me an agent and publisher back in 2013.

Silverblood Raven and Summer Fantasy Reads!

You may have missed the announcement of my recently released Silverblood Raven trilogy. That’s mainly because, well, I never announced it. How will anyone ever read it if they don’t know it’s out there? Good question. One to which I have no answer, but I’m here now to right this terrible wrong.

For fans of epic fantasy with fantastic creatures, compelling characters, rich world-building, and elves with severe social anxiety, I bring you the Silverblood Raven trilogy. The incredibly talented Rober...

The Road to Dark Hope. Uphill Both Ways.

Anyone who has tried to work while going back to college can tell you it's hard to find time for anything else. Making time to write and edit and promote books isn't easy, but it isn't something I do for money or fame. Though I certainly wouldn't turn down a bit of extra cash right now. That going to school stuff is expensive. Do you know they expect you to pay for the privilege of doing homework and not having a life?

Kidding aside, my books are a labor of love and one I refuse to give up....

A little something new. Announcing Golden Eyes!

Now that the Clockwork Enterprises trilogy (now also available in audiobook) and the Forbidden Things trilogy are both complete, I thought it might be fun to do something that crosses over into both a little bit. Golden Eyes is a light reading young adult fantasy about a young woman who thinks her life is all planned out until she develops a bond with a gargoyle and unlocks an ancient magic that may be the key to saving her kingdom.

I was fortunate to get to work with the extremely talented He...

Caught in the Crossfire! Clockwork Enterprises book 3 is here!

It's been a long time coming and I am so excited to finally announce the release of The Girl and the Clockwork Crossfire, the third book in the Clockwork Enterprises trilogy. Thanks to all the fans who patiently waited for this book and to the friends and family who encouraged me through some hard times along the way. You are all amazing.

If you'd like to pick up a signed copy, I'll be vending at Airship Pirates: Port Townsend Steam 2017, June 9th through the 11th. This is a fantastic steampun...

Clockwork Cat, New Beginnings, and Moving Forward

Today, I am happy to announce the re-release of The Girl and the Clockwork Cat, Clockwork Enterprises book one, in print and eBook editions. After much consideration, I decided to part ways with the original publisher, so now, with some errors corrected, it is back out and ready for the world.

But where is Clockwork Enterprises book three?

This has been a year of many changes for me. It started early in the year with the end of my marriage. I believe, based on the ways we both have changed,...

Releasing The Keeper!

Looking for a new fantasy to read after the Forbidden Things series? I'm very excited to say that I can now help with that. Announcing the release of The Keeper, the first book in The Endless Chronicles, a new other-world fantasy series.

For those of you waiting for the final installment in the Clockwork Enterprises series, it is on the way. Some unplanned chaos in my personal life put me behind on that series, but I am getting back on track. In the interim, here's something to pass the time w...

GHOST HOPE Launch and Giveaway!

Olivia Black does not feel safe. Nightmares plague her sleep and haunt her days. If she has to endure one more minute stuck in a safe house in rainy Portland, she’s going to lose it. When Mike Palmer sneaks off to find her sister Kaylee without her, it’s the last straw. She has to do something.

Then Palmer’s hackers find the Dome on a satellite feed: dark, abandoned and smack in the middle of the Oregon desert three hundred miles from where it started. If they can reach it before anyone else,...
