Fantasy and horror books and blogposts
Recently, I've been re-reading the Hollows Series by Kim Harrison. For those who don't remember this lovely series, it was one of those fun re-imaginings of our world that was contemporary to the Sookie Stackhouse novels, later adapted into True Blood, and Kelley Armstrong's Women of the Otherworld series, adapted into the TV Show Bitten....

When I started writing I understood how to write a happy ending. And then, for a while, I lost that magic. I used to think that my writing had to be serious and dark, the kind of thing you could cut yourself on. I thought of this as the kind of art that real artists... Continue Reading →
If you've been on Twitter recently, you may have seen a post like this one floating across your Newsfeed. https://twitter.com/matociquala/status/1148275988679266304 This post arises in direct response to the review of a book, The Future is Female, an anthology which came out last year and which focuses on women writers from the 1920s to the 1960s,...

This week, I've been reminding myself that you can look back, but you can't go back. I'm a self-published author, and when I started this gig I had no idea what I was doing. It is possible that I still don't. Periodically, I will remember this. Writing could, easily, be a full-time gig. There are... Continue Reading →
Friends, I am so glad to be home! Metaphorically, I mean. I missed my blog a lot. Housekeeping! If you missed my blog tour, here are all the stops along the way. Take a moment to get caught up, if you care to. My favorite stop was the last one, which involved a playlist! Plus... Continue Reading →
We took a break from the blog tour this week for the holiday, but I wanted to take a minute to remind everyone that the final blog stop is coming up and that means our giveaway for two signed books is coming to a close. You have ten days to get on that, and you... Continue Reading →
