by // 1 Comment

We interrupt this Month of Thanks to bring you something new and shiny!

A few months back, I met a very nice person by the name for S. J. Pajonas. What I discovered is another author writing New Adult Science Fiction Romance! Whee! It’s great to meet a kindred spirit, and I was happy to include a small sample of REMOVED (book 1 of the Nogiku series) at the end of the ebook version of NEMESIS.

Pajonas’ series is sci-fi with a heavy influence from the Japanese culture. Here’s the info for book 1: [Read more…]

Release Update: MASTER OF MYTH

by // Leave a Comment

So, last week Thursday was Talk Like a Pirate Day. Around about eleven p.m., I was sitting around wondering why more people didn’t release pirate-themed books on that day.

And that’s when it hit me. Uh, I have a pirate book. I could potentially do that.

Cover Reveal – The Ministry Protocol!

by // Leave a Comment

You may or may not remember my little story From Paris, With Regret, written for the Tales From the Archives podcast anthology, but it marked one of the most cherished accomplishments of my writing life to date. I am fortunate to count Philippa Ballantine and Tee Morris amongst my friends, and to have them ask me to write a piece to accompany one of my favorite books of the last few years was unbelievable for me. The idea they greenlighted for me spoke volumes about their faith in my abilities as a writer, and, for that, I am ever grateful. I can’t think of many authors that would allow a complete unknown to create a backstory for one of two main characters for their signature series. Honestly, I still get a little teary with gratitude and amazement over this.

And so today, I am delighted and humbled to present to you the cover for their newest endeavor. Awhile back, Tee and Pip successfully funded a Kickstarter for a board game and companion anthology for their Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences series.

SFR Brigade Midsummer Blog Hop

Greetings, Starfighter!

Welcome to my stop on the SFR Brigade’s Blog Hop. If you haven’t come by this post as part of the blog hop, you can read up on what this is about by clicking the banner at the top of this post or here.
