Fantasy and horror books and blogposts
I did it. I finished a draft of Alabaster, which I have been working on since....oh probably 2019, I am not sure. It's always so interesting to reflect on how stories come out. I wrote the first draft of "Viridian" over the course of a single NaNoWriMo, though it wouldn't see its final form for... Continue Reading →
I hinted that I had some news! Well here it is: I've got a new novella coming out! Here's what Guest Editor Lee Murray had to say about why she picked my story for publication: A beautifully dark tale of society’s demonization of women through the lens of witch mythology and set under the Appalachian...

So you may have noticed I haven't been writing much! That doesn't look likely to let up soon. I've paused my Patreon, and will probably be unpublishing (though this means that I will be charged higher fees if I ever publish my page again, and I'm considering that in my decision making over the next...

Oof it is June, y'all. But fear not! It's been an exciting few months and I have much to report. First, let's look at this year's goals. First of all, Marquee in Verse is done! I made a lot of posts about this over on Instagram, where you can see photos of all of the... Continue Reading →
This week, a special review post! I received the ARC of Where Echoes Die by Courtney Gould through NetGalley. The premise sounded interesting, and the publisher in question also published Wake the Bones, which I really enjoyed. Where Echoes Die is the story of Beck who has recently lost her mother to cancer. In the... Continue Reading →
And we're back for another round-up! I'm so glad to be reading again, folks. Life is a little chaotic, mostly good -- I'm sure that surprises no one, except for maybe the "good" part, since chaos seems to be the name of the game. I will have some big announcements at some point this year!... Continue Reading →
Hello, folks! Your friendly author here! This blog has been a little quiet because I've been running around doing author events and dayjob stuff and generally not reading much or having many fun adventures to talk to you about. I am absolutely itchy to be wrapped up with my current grant, even though it has... Continue Reading →
Whenever I am up against a deadline my reading suffers, and the past couple of months have been no exception. Preparing for the Marquee in Verse project, in which I classically overcommitted (Two public events? A week apart? What was I thinking?), is taking all of my time and emotional energy. That said, I did... Continue Reading →
Hey, friends! Here are the events and joys planned for the Marquee in Verse project in April! The Marquee in Verse poetry installation kicks off next week. There are four poems going up on the Grandin Theatre marquee in Roanoke. Here's when you can see them! Poem 1: Monday, April 3rd through Wednesday, April 5th... Continue Reading →
Today's post is a list of the ARCs I have in my TBR because I'm in a reading slump and I'm therefore having trouble getting through my tiny stack. Some of these books are out already -- some I've read earlier iterations of, even! I'm pretty sure I'm going to review all of these eventually,... Continue Reading →
