Win a coloring book!
You could win a coloring book!
I don’t know about you, but I love coloring. It’s relaxing. There’s a certain zen that happens when I’m coloring, even more when I’m drawing, which is why I’m excited to share this coloring book with you. There’s something amazing about drawing characters and scenes from my stories.
But I can’t release a coloring book without having a contest!

Happy Book Birthday!
While the eBook release of Amaskan’s War is still a month away, today is a day worth celebrating for me as the trade paperback of Amaskan’s War is out as well as my coloring book–From the Worlds of Raven Oak.
With all the house drama and the diagnosis of Sjogren’s Syndrome in the past two years, I worried Amaskan’s War would be a footnote in a lengthy to-do list. I certainly didn’t imagine that I’d be illustrating a coloring book with scenes and characters from my v...

Toy & Geek Fest Wrap-Up
Two weeks ago, we (Books & Chains) had a booth at the Washington State Toy & Geek Fest in Puyallup. This was our third most successful event thus far and quite fun! It was held on the fairgrounds, complete with state fair food, and well attended. Here’s a picture of our booth Friday after setup.
Closer pic of part of our booth. 
Saturday morning dawned way too early since we had to drive down from Bothell to Puyallup, over an hour away. The event began at 9 AM, so for us to be there at 8:15, w...

Hilton Honors Horror
The first weekend of June, I had the displeasure of staying at the Doubletree by Hilton Hotel in Spokane, WA. I was vending at the Lilac City Comicon at the Spokane Convention Center and chose to stay at the convention hotel–a mistake I won’t make again.
Back in 2017, our first LCCC, we stayed at the same Doubletree Hotel (also as a Hilton Honors member). Our first night there, we chose to eat at the Spencer’s restaurant inside the hotel. When you’ve spent several hours unloading two cars wor...

Lilac City Comicon Wrap-Up!
This past weekend was the Lilac City Comicon in Spokane, WA, where we (Books & Chains) vended. Prior to the long drive from Seattle to Spokane, I had to pack up my vending crates and my suitcase, both of which are tasks that cue the cats off that I’m leaving town.
Riley protested harder than usual. He curled up on my suitcase and refused to move. When I touched him, he snarled lightly at me, then dug his claws in. I decided to leave him there for a few...

Slow with the Updates
Greetings and salutations!
I realize I’ve been a bit slow with the updates here lately. Rest assured that’s because I’m at the tail end of edits/revisions on Amaskan’s War, and I don’t want to be distracted by anything else. I do have a few EVENTS coming up, so be sure to check out the EVENT CALENDAR. I’ve got a ton to tell you once I’m on the other side and these edits are with the editor!
In the meantime, here’s a picture of Riley, who is always reminding me that it is pet-me-o’clock!
Hope...
