edit data

I was born in New Hampshire and now live outside Toronto by way of Germany, Belgium, Seattle, and Austin. After working for a number of evil empires, I decided to forgo things like a salary and regular human interaction to start publishing company Brain Lag, which has now published over fifty titles by twenty different authors from across North America and Great Britain. I try to find time for reading, writing, art, gaming, baking, playing guitar and piano, photography, and more at home with my husband, daughter, and two crazy tabbies.

I don’t use Goodreads much, it’s merely a convenient method of keeping track of the books I read. Feel free to go to the About section on my website if you want to contact me.

I don’t usually write detailed rev ...more

As time goes on

I like the celebration of the new year because, ultimately, it’s about optimism for the future. That said, this year has already not started out particularly encouraging for me, so here’s a summary of my 2025 in a few key numbers:

Years married: 20Medical specialist tests that found nothing wrong: 8Five-star entries in my twice-daily mood tracker: 44Nights with insomnia and/or bad sleep: 82

Now, on

It's been long enough since I read book one that I didn't remember much of it, but I'm glad I finally continued this series. The tarot mythos is really interesting, I like how the world and characters are developed, and the plot is engaging. It's a f ...more
