The Kraken Sea Giveaway
You found it washed up on the shell-shore and weren’t sure what it was, not even when you slid your hand under its surprising warmth and it curled around your wrist. Among the hollow shells, it alone was flush with life. Last week, The Kraken Sea (Apex Book Company) burst into the world, and this […]
The Indigo Mantis
Today, The Indigo Mantis kicks off The Book Smuggler’s Superhero Series. I am delighted to have a part in this adventure, and hope you’ll come by and read my inspirations behind the story, and the story itself! Indi is on the trail of the insidious creature who killed her father — and is having some […]
Beneath Ceaseless Skies
In 2009, I made my first submission to Beneath Ceaseless Skies. I had to take a deep breath as I clicked SEND, because I had been reading BCS for about a year, and loved both the fiction they published and their overall aesthetic. They ran fiction from authors I already loved (Marie Brennan), and authors […]
Cloud Dweller
When it comes to my traveling circus, I don’t include a lot of “normal” circus tropes. My circus doesn’t have an elephant, for example. But there are a few tropes I want to play with, because I think they’ll fit well. I also like writing about my home state, so when I realized I was […]
All the Things

Going Away
This past month (or forty days, who’s counting), I’ve been away. I took a break from bullshit and annoyances, which meant going quiet in a couple realms where I usually participate, reading less on social media, and doing something altogether new in regard to the book of face. Sometimes, I once wrote to a dear […]
Stargazer
When I was a Girl Scout Brownie (I still have my beret and dress and vest, with all my patches and pins and accomplishments), we spent what felt like forever but was probably only a long weekend at a local mountain camp. I wish I remembered more clearly where. I hated most of the activities, […]

The Honey Mummy, Release Day
Callooh! Callay! It’s The Honey Mummy release day! If you preordered the ebook, it should be in your device whispering “open, open, open!” Isn’t the future amazing? If you waited for the paper version, scamper over to Amazon and get yourself a copy! (As of this post, waiting for mothership Amazon to update, c’mon mothership…) Aren’t […]
