Today I’m so excited to share this special interview with Imani Josey, debut author of The Blazing Star and all-around awesome person! From the moment I saw the cover reveal for The Blazing Star, I knew this was going to be a special book. As you’ll see from this interview, I am a bit of a history geek—especially for ancient Egypt, which was my study emphasis in college. So when…

Giving thanks for readers
Thursday was Thanksgiving in the USA, a day for being grateful for everything we have. 2016 was a year of ups and downs, but the one consistently positives thing through the whole year was the wonderful readers I have met in my last year of publishing. I am so grateful for all of you! As you may recall, last month I put two short stories up for free download on InstaFreebie.…

November is on my list
At this point I’ve pretty much decided that November is the worst month in the calendar. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, I’m sure you’ve noticed that this November has been particularly crappy for the usual world-event reasons. But it seems like November really had it in for me on a personal level this year. It actually started on October 29, when I was supposed to go to a Halloween party…

Two short stories – for free!
If you follow me on social media, you may have seen me post that Wings of Renewal, the solarpunk dragon anthology that my short story “Seven Years Among Dragons” was published in, was going out of print. That means that the rights have reverted back to me, so I decided that I wanted to give back to my fans and give you all a chance to read “Seven Years Among…

Exciting news: The Iamos Trilogy has a new home!
I’ve been sitting on this secret for quite a while now, waiting until we were able to officially make an announcement. And the time is finally here: I am working with a publisher! *confetti* I’ve mentioned before the reasons why I didn’t want to work with a traditional publisher for this series. But I’ve always been really interested in the co-op model of publishing, which combines the best of the…

#NationalComingOutDay reflections and a way to give back
Two years ago on National Coming Out Day, a friend of mine came out as ace. The courage he showed in doing so made me re-evaluate my own decision to stay in the closet, something I’d done since college, and is what ultimately inspired me to be public and vocal about my identity, and to work for ace representation in fiction. Coming out isn’t a one-time thing, though. There are…

A little about Scylla
So, Different Worlds has been out for a few days and now seems like a good time to talk about something that isn’t really a spoiler but didn’t really make sense to post about without the book being available for people to look at and understand what the heck I’m talking about, and that’s Scylla. It’s been in the works since the get-go that Scylla is aro-ace, but it wasn’t something…

Release day: Different Worlds
Different Worlds is finally here! This tie-in novella (that, at 45,000 words, is practically a novel in itself…) is the sort-of-second-but-not-actually book in the Iamos Trilogy, and takes place during the events of Fourth World, telling the story of what happened to Henry, Tamara, Scylla, and the others left behind after Isaak disappeared. I’m so excited that this book, which is so close to my heart, is finally out in the world!…
