No, I didn’t sneeze… Jolabokaflod is the name of an Icelandic tradition that translates roughly to “book flood” in English. The tradition is this: on the night of Christmas Eve families exchange books, and then they curl up with blankets and cocoa to spend the rest of the night reading! Sounds like the perfect tradition to me…books, warm drinks, blankets, probably cats if you have them (because, you know…blankets are like cat magnets). It sounds like such a wonderful way to spend the night of Christmas Eve! But what does this have to do with my blog (other than giving you another super cool fact)?Read More →

Midnight’s Wings has been launched! (It’s actually been out for about ten days, making this post a bit overdue, but life is never as simple as I plan). Also a note: to anyone who tried to order the paperback in the first few days, I apologize for the trouble…KDP was fighting us over some formatting stuff. But we prevailed in the end, and the paperback is now available! Click HERE to buy Midnight’s Wings on Amazon! Oh man…guys, I can’t even tell you how glad I am to have this book finished and out for everyone to read! Three years. That’s how much time passedRead More →

Hello hello everyone! Once again I’m a bit slow on my posting, but I have a good reason! The day after I got home (barely missing the snow storm. Gah! Someone should tell the weather that it’s May) my baby brother graduated with an associates degree, and the next day he graduated from highschool! (Yes, I’m bragging a bit…but, hey! It’s a big sister’s job, right? 😉 ) By the way: yes, he looks older than me, but I’m the eldest, I swear! I’ve lost count of the people who’ve thought I was the younger of the two. *sigh* I’m gonna be twenty-five and peopleRead More →

Hey everybody! Sorry for the radio silence recently…school and papers kicked my rear end, and then Spring Break was a blessed relief that also included tons of amazing days out doing stuff with my family (and my awesome roommate, who came with me). There’s not a lot of Wi-Fi up in the mountains, so I’m gonna use that as my excuse. 😉 There’s one other project that kept me busy, but this one I think you’ll approve of…I finished writing Midnight’s Wings, the third book in my Secrets of the National Parks Collection!!!! For those of you who’ve followed my writing for a while knowRead More →

Hello! I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine’s Day! I spent the evening curled up on the couch with a wonderful new book (and I may or may not have stayed up way too late to finish it…) I have some fun news for you all! On February 20th, all of my kindle books will be discounted to $.99! This is in honor of my amazing Mom! It’s her birthday, and since this year writing another book for her doesn’t quite work into my schedule (and writing Stone Heart without her help and knowledge was so hard that I vowed never to do itRead More →

Hello hello! As I type this post I am listening to the wind bash against the building and howl like it’s some tormented ghost bent on revenge. Maybe someone stole his books? Or his coffee, that would be revenge-worthy too. Anyway, it’s creepy and cold. Now, anyone reading my blog thus far would probably assume that I despise cold. That’s not true…come summer I’ll be reminiscing about the delightfully cold wind and snowstorms. But right now I’m ready for spring, especially since the last few days have been warm and sunny and wonderful. Alas, Mr. Wind has come and brought back his friend, Winter. Okay, enoughRead More →

Hello! I have some exciting news! February 26th is National Fairy Tale Day, or Tell a Fairy Tale Day according to some sites. Whatever the proper name is, it is a great excuse to curl up with a new book, especially if that book is a fairy tale retelling. 😉 To celebrate this wonderful holiday, Stone Heart will be FREE on Kindle on the 25th and 26th! To pique your interest, here’s a short excerpt from Stone Heart:   There was a moment of tense silence, but Ember kept her chin up and her eyes lowered. Ember would act as a servant, but there was only soRead More →
