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.…

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…

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!…

Knowing your limits
I’ve always been the sort of person who likes to have a lot of different things to do. Working on just one thing tends to make me stagnate, so I like to juggle multiple projects, to keep everything fresh and me invigorated. I always thrived under these conditions when I was in school and through my twenties, so I guess I figured I’d always be able to keep it up.…

A New Project: Giving Back
I’ve had an idea floating around in my mind for awhile, something I really wanted to do but was waiting for the right time. And now seems like the right time to do it. It started back when I was editing Perchance to Dream last spring. I was talking to someone about the amazing stories in the book and how excited I was to share them with the world. And in return? My…
