A New Month and a Couple of Updates

It’s June already? Where did May go?!! Oh, that’s right. It was full of book release craziness, trying to catch up on things that were neglected in preparation for Samara’s release, and actively avoiding catching the stomach virus making its way through my family. Such fun. :P I did manage to squeeze in some sewing as well. I’ll have to share some photos of my new historical outfits when I’ve finished. I’m going for a completely new look than I’ve been doing for the past several years of reen...

Samara’s Peril Release and Blog Tour

That’s right, the release of Samara’s Peril has arrived! I have to say, getting it to this point was almost the death of me (well, not quite, but almost). But it’s here now, and I’m so excited to share it with everyone!

I’m also taking orders for autographed copies! Unfortunately, due to issues getting the cover printed correctly, the paperback is going to be a bit delayed. I’m hoping to have it available and up on Amazon within 1-2 we...

My First Podcast Interview

Today I get to share something really fun and exciting—I did my first podcast interview! I think, subconsciously, I’ve been hoping to avoid such interviews because the socially awkward introvert in me always whimpered at the prospect. However, when I was invited by Daniel to be on his podcast, The Very Serious Writing Show, I knew I couldn’t pass up the opportunity. While I had to drag my inner introvert kicking and screaming all the way there, I had so much fun and have been really excited t...

2016 Ilyon Chronicles Fan Art Contest

Yes, it’s that time of year again! Time for the 2nd annual Ilyon Chronicles fan art contest! Last year’s fan art contest was a huge success, and I can’t wait to see how this year goes. You’ve got a little extra time this year—a month and a half instead of just a month. That way you can do some art from Samara’s Peril if you want. :) Just hop over the the official contest page for all the details. I’m so excited to see your entries!

Book Review—Siren’s Song

About the Book

“The realization hits: We’re not going to win. It’s why I couldn’t defeat Draewulf in Bron—because this power was never mine anyway. I drop my arms and let the energy die off. And turn around to Face Eogan.”

After a fierce battle with Draewulf, Nym barely escaped with her life. Now, fleeing the scorched landscape of Tulla, her storm-summoning abilities are returning; only . . . the dark power is still inside her.

Broken and bloodied, Nym needs time to recover, but when the ful...
