Book Review—Siren’s Fury
About the Book
“I thrust my hand toward the sky as my voice begs the Elemental inside me to waken and rise. But it’s no use. The curse I’ve spent my entire life abhorring—the thing I trained so hard to control—no longer exists.”
Nym risked her life to save Faelen, her homeland, from a losing war, only to discover that the shapeshifter Draewulf has stolen everything she holds dear. But when the repulsive monster robs Nym of her storm-summoning abilities as well, the beautiful Elemental realiz...

These are the rules:
Go to page 7 of your WIP Scroll down to line 7 Share the next 7 sentences in a blog post. After the excerpt, tag 7 other writers to continue the challenge.Like Tricia, I am currently writing one book and editing another, so they’re both sort of...

Half-Blood Blog Tour—Conclusion
After a week of fun, the Half-Blood Blog Tour has reached it’s conclusion. Let me give a big thanks to all the bloggers who participated. I was really quite scared to release this novella since it is so sad, but you all have received it wonderfully. :) Despite the tragic-ness of if, I’m glad I could share a look into Jace’s bask story. Especially with book three, a heavily “Jace book” coming up. I’m hoping Half-Blood will add even more meaning to what he goes through in Samara’s Peril.
Now,...

Half-Blood is now available!
Well, this has been a crazy couple of months. These last couple of weeks have been especially busy. As many of you know, I was away at Lifest last week with my brothers and our cousin who drove seven hours to come camp out with us. We had a marvelous time together and I loved getting to see so many of my favorite artists. I’m already looking forward to next year.
But, that’s not the point of this post. The point is that Half-Blood is now available!! It’s my very first novella. I’m really exci...

A Special Unveiling
On Facebook a couple of days ago I mentioned that I woke up on Monday with terrible neck and shoulder pain from spending too much time on the computer over the weekend. Well, there was a good reason for it. Those hours I spent ruining my back was on account of this:
That’s right, I have started a forum! I’ve had ideas for this for quite a long time. I wasn’t sure if it would ever amount to anything, so I never did anything about it. Instead, I set up a group on Goodreads to sort of test the w...

Favorite Screen Characters Tag
I was tagged by Shantelle for the Favorite Screen Characters Tag. Normally I’m really bad at getting around to doing blog posts that involve being tagged, however, gushing over favorite characters is way too much fun to pass up. So, here are my top 10 favorite movie/TV characters (in no particular order except for the first one). And, trust me, narrowing it down to ten was hard. I do so adore characters.
Aragorn (The Lord of the Rings)
He’s Aragorn. ‘Nuff said. ;) But seriously, Aragorn has...
