If you participated in last week’s YA Scavenger Hunt, you’ll have seen this there first. But if not, I wanted to make sure everybody saw this! You may have noticed a few new pages on the site last week… for example, Cheerleaders from Planet X is now on a series page instead of a stand-alone page. Because that’s right: the sequel is finally happening! Check out the cover and blurb…

Summer Status Update
It’s been a while since I’ve updated here, hasn’t it? How have all of you been holding up? 2020 has been… quite a year. I think today’s Wizard of Id strip summarizes it quite well: (Also, speaking of comics, alert: Cathy is back. This is not a drill, Cathy is back. Or, as she put it, b-aack!) Anyway. I have alluded to this to a certain degree over on Dreamwidth,…

Looking back on 2018
I posted this on Twitter about a week and a half ago, but I wanted to share it here as well: Since everyone’s been doing threads talking about their accomplishments from 2018, I wanted to join in because I’m really proud of how much I got done this year. 🎉 I edited an anthology for the first time since 2015! It was a lot of work and will probably be the…

What’s next
New World‘s been on shelves for about a month now, and I’ve been taking a much-needed break to recharge my batteries. But I’m starting to feel human enough again to start thinking about what’s next for me, and I wanted to share that with all of you. 2018 was my most productive year so far. I had stories in two anthologies published this year, one of which I also edited.…

Illustration reveal for Sea-Stars and Sand Dollars
Remember a few months back when I announced I have a story in the upcoming Brave New Girls anthology? We’re just a month out from release, now, and today the editors revealed the illustration/cover page for the story! I’m excited about this illustration because I did it myself! And, man, was it hard on me. 😅 I used to draw quite a bit, but it’s been several years, and my body doesn’t…

Announcing a new anthology
Announcement time! You may remember a couple years ago I was supposed to co-edit and have a story in a sci-fi fairy tale retellings anthology. And then I got sick (this surprises no one). I’ve been feeling bad about that story, though. It’s been sitting there unfinished and neglected on my hard drive all this time. Then my publisher came up with the idea to do an anthology, so it lives…
