The End, Kinda
The last book in my Folley & Mallory series drops today, and perhaps I am having feelings about that, but god forbid we explore those, because it's all too hard to contemplate; this seems to be my year of endings. Dramatic! But, many things have come to an end, so it feels apt. There are […]
Groove
Two weeks ago, I slipped down the stairs -- because who doesn't love doing that, really -- and bruised my tailbone. The bruises have only just shown themselves, and it was kind of a relief to see them, and say "oh hey, that really did happen, and I'm not quite nine hundred and three years […]
Tomb Raider
Patience is hard. Especially as a writer, maybe, because we have so many lovely things we want to show you. When I started writing the Folley and Mallory adventures, I knew that eventually they would have to explore a tomb, because a) it's Egypt so duh and b) I've loved exploring tombs for a long […]

In Praise of Friendships
One of the best aspects of the Folley & Mallory books is friendship. While there are absolutely romances in these books, there are also friendships, which can be no less complicated than romantic love. Virgil and Auberon are partners in their work, and have slowly become friends, after the loss of Virgil's prior partner, Joel. […]
The Honey Mummy
If you know anything about me, you should know one thing: I am not good at being patient. Waiting is the hardest thing. Not having a thing when you really want a thing? Clearly the worst! Being an author who is often put in a position where they have to sit on Really Good News? […]
Jumping Off Cliffs
This week, we're getting back to the drafting of Folley & Mallory #4. It has a working title, but I'm not entirely thrilled with it, so we're giving it a number here and calling it good. But where's #3, you may wonder -- and that's part of the thing. Most people aren't wondering. Folley and […]
Five Falcon Facts
My very first draft of what would become Rings of Anubis was called The Glass of Anubis. This idea still exists in the book, as it is the name of the object through which Anubis judges the dead who come before him. This glass was always envisioned as something of a mirror, that opened various […]
