Fantasy and horror books and blogposts
A week ago I posted about the films/TV shows that I'm looking forward to seeing adapted from some favorite books, and now I'm going to list some books and novellas that I'm very excited about. None of these are out yet, but they're all on my wish list. I am only going to mention the ones... Continue Reading →
I mentioned on Twitter a week or so ago that I was really excited about a couple of upcoming movie/TV adaptations of books that are supposed to be either in production, have been announced, or are coming out this year. A friend of mine asked that I create a list and I thought the blog... Continue Reading →
It's been a wild few weeks. Summer is always pretty wild, actually. My mother's birthday in June kicks off a smorgasbord of celebrations which last until my birthday in August. We have entered that time. From this point until August 13th, I have precisely one weekend that isn't already planned out. I'm hoping to take... Continue Reading →
I owe speculative fiction and my non-traditional upbringing for being the person I am. Today, I got to work and found a tiny wasp had perched itself on top of my bun. I am slightly allergic to wasps, so this caused a bit of a heart-stopping moment. But it was unusually cold last  night, and the... Continue Reading →
An early post this week, as tomorrow is my author signing at the Tanglewood Barnes and Noble. I'll be there and setting up by 6pm so if you have a book to bring for signing or are looking to buy a paper copy, please stop by! Now, on to the subject at hand. I've been... Continue Reading →
Life has been pretty crazy lately. I think I did an update not too long ago talking about how my S.O. and I had gotten engaged in April. Then there were several trainwrecks that happened - his grandmother passed away, for one, and I had some drama with my folks over the engagement. Normal life... Continue Reading →

I've been blessed in life to have wound up living in Southwest Virginia, an emerald land with lots of mountains and hiking trails. The Appalachian Trail goes right by my city, continuing north and south, connecting acres of national and state forests one to the other. Thru-hikers pass through every spring and summer, going from... Continue Reading →
I follow a group on Facebook called The Writer's Circle. Recently they posted this lovely graphic. It's a good start at what it is to be a writer, but it's not all-encompassing. This week, my primary contributions to my writing career have included: blogging, networking, reviewing a contract, offering critique on a voice file, and... Continue Reading →
I'm going to indulge in what might be a terrible metaphor. It's about books. Not the ones I write, but the ones I read. And I read a lot of books. I read for a lot of reasons. First of all, I enjoy it. My favorite books to read for fun involve plucky young heroines... Continue Reading →
