I’m on Chris T. Kat’s blog
Today’s stop on the blog tour is Chris T. Kat’s awesome blog. I’m so pleased to be on Love Despite the Odds to talk about the fairy tale inspiration for Pretty Peg. Thanks so much, Chris, for hosting me!
Chris is the author of the Jeff Woods mysteries, the latest being Sacrifices. I love me a good mystery series. I bought Sacrifices last night, and I’m already plotting my next hooky afternoon to be alone with it.

True Colorz interview and giveaway
I’m the featured author on the YA LGBTQ literature blog True Colorz!
I’ve been reading this great blog operated by Jeff Erno and Madison Parker for some time, and I’ve been inspired by the writers I’ve discovered there as well as by the site’s no-duh stance that queer youth really, really need books about them.
Thanks for hosting me, Jeff and Madison!

Pretty Peg is in the world! And hats. And zombies.
My book Pretty Peg came out yesterday!
My writing group came over for cupcakes and champagne (and writing group). I am so grateful to those guys for helping steer this book. And yeah, I’m happy with how it turned out.
And I got to be interviewed about the book and zombies and libraries on The Hat Party! Raine O’Tierney is the best kind of host. Oozing with style and wit but making you feel like you hung the moon. Thanks, Raine!

Of Dragons & Magic: Tales of the Lost Worlds
My story “Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most” is in Of Dragons & Magic: Tales of the Lost Worlds!
This was a pretty cool example of social media working in my favor. On Friday there was a call for submissions for Witty Bard Publishing‘s first fantasy anthology, posted in a writer’s group I’m on Facebook. The deadline was that same day. It just so happened that I had spent all week revising a fantasy story. It was ready to start getting rejected. But no! I submitted it to the anthology, edi...

Review: Ghost Songs by Andrew Demcak
Ghost Songs by Andrew Demcak took me by surprise. It’s driven by character rather than plot – not the norm for a YA novel, but it should be. Todd, the main character, is a gay teenager, but there’s no love story for him. In fact, the only thing that starts out resembling a romance turns into a horrible, far too realistic plot about sexual battery involving Todd’s best friend, Jennifer. Todd’s mother is an alcoholic and his father never makes an appearance – aspects of Todd’s life that could o...

Review: Us Three by Mia Kerick
Us Three by Mia Kerick asks tough questions and offers surprising answers with compassion and style. At first glance, this seems like a story about highschool bullying. Some of the choices the author made to portray that familiar problem are unusual in themselves: the target of the bullying, main character Casey, has a fantastically supportive home life and a nicely honed set of personal resources (where were the classmates who knew how to make crepes for a French class project when I was in...
