I am a firm believer that there are too many sequels out there in the world. Every movie I've seen lately has had just enough left open at the end that everyone in the audience can say, "Whoop, well there's Movie 2 for you." And there is inevitably a Movie 2, and probably Movie 3, … Continue reading Attack of the Sequel

I'm only roughly calling this a book "review" because I'm less writing this as a review of Selina Guinness' work and more simply because I want to talk about the story at large. As many of you know, I don't commonly read non-fiction, but after visiting Tibradden last year during my final residency of graduate … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW(?) – The Crocodile by the Door
Fair warning: I know this author, and have known her for a very long time. However, since my deal was that I would give her a fair review, I have attempted to remove all bias I have, and am critiquing only the work. (It helps that I haven't actually seen her in a long time.) … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: Homecoming by Kate Hasbrouck
Hey there everyone! I know it's been a while since I posted last, and I apologize for that. (Actually as I look back, it's less time than I thought. But it's still more time than is really permissible.) I still owe a good friend a review for her book that I read, and I intend … Continue reading Long Time No See / MFA Programs
When I named a character in one of my projects Gabby because the name came to mind due to listening to Jason Cantrell talk about his main character all the time, I decided that I should probably read the book the name came from. Well, that and the fact that I've been chatting with Jason … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: MANIFESTATION by Jason Cantrell
This is a great sentiment for Week 2 of NaNoWriMo, but honestly...we all know why I wanted to write this. Capt. Taggart has the right idea. Notoriously, Week 2 is the hardest week of NaNoWriMo. All your great ideas from Week 1 are gone, you hate your novel, you're positive that every word you've written … Continue reading NaNoWriMo Week 2: Never Give Up!
Yup, I'm trying desperately to stay to schedule now that I'm roughly back on it. 😀 Which means that it's Friday, and that the next chapter of QUEST TO KARANTIRI is live on my website! Check out the newest chapter here--but if you're too anxious, check out the snippet under the cut... “Celita?” a small … Continue reading Chapter 10 is Live!
...and I'd like to wipe them out. Yes, you heard me. I want these books off of my shelf. I want the whole shelf to be empty. I want all the books gone. Here's the bookshelf that lives next to my desk: Don't mind the cat food. I share my space, as any good cat … Continue reading I’ve Got Some Books On My Shelf…
Whoops. Sorry about the delay, guys. Last week was a disaster at work, and I just couldn't get the chapter up. But Chapter 8 is up now, and you can all read it on my website! Here's a glimpse: “One of my favorite memories of Matrinari from when my late father and I last visited … Continue reading Chapter 8 – A Bit Late
I've gotten this question so many times. Once people find out I'm a writer, I inevitably get asked the same series of questions. What genre do you write in? What age range? So on and so forth. And it always comes down to this: "So, what are you working on?" If I had a nickel … Continue reading So, How Many Books Are You Writing?
