sci-fi

As we’re all aware of, the world is a crazy place right now. I waffle back and forth between “this will eventually blow over, most people will be fine” and…well, the opposite. Somewhere in all of this, I did, in fact, finish up Hunting Astrid earlier today. I actually have no idea how, since most […]

The tonsils are out, and while I’ve had my ups and downs this past week, it’s not the worst. Not particularly fun, but not the worst. So! Since I’m not completely miserable and I have passed off most of the care of my children to other adults, I’ve actually gotten quite a bit of writing […]

Happy New Year! Writing-wise, 2020 is off to a great start. Before we get to January, I’ll follow up a bit from my last post to provide some general advice to anyone who may want/need it: Remember how I’d considered bringing a notebook with me to Disney World juuuuust in case there might be a […]

Fire Beyond the Frost is still doing well, I’m happy to report. It’s fun to see what other people have highlighted! So I did wind up starting a new project after all. And…I like it. It’s fast-paced, exciting, and…dare I say it…FUN! Okay, maybe the emotional impact of this one won’t be huge, but it’ll […]

Which skills am I referring to with this title – my writing skills, my decision making skills, or a little bit of both? Probably both. Both is almost always an accurate answer. So I finally got back to Sonata for Springtime, which I started over a year ago, and then life got in the way. […]

Here’s another winner from the fabulous artists at Decadent Publishing!   This one went through a number of versions, but I love the final result. All the little details are amazing! For now, we’re still on track to release next week, so here’s the blurb and excerpt again to tide you over until then! Blurb: […]

Not only do I love making these announcements, but apparently, this is also my 300th post on this blog! Yay for milestones, I guess? I’ve felt like a slacker here at times, but 300 unique posts over *coughmumble* years is nothing to sneeze at. Anyhoo! I just signed the contracts for Fire Beyond the Frost, […]

(almost nailed the rhyming title, but not quite) Lately, it seems that all of my creative-minded friends have been talking about what new project they want to embark on. I would say something poignant and poetic about it having to do with the time of year, with spring just around the corner, and everything waking […]

I’m never one to pass up jumping on a good bandwagon. Writing/blogging buddies Krystal and Michelle recently made great posts about going back to their old writing projects and critiquing their opening lines. They were a ton of fun to read, and I also never shy away from self-deprecating humor, so I figured I’d have […]

As promised, here are some spoiler-free thoughts on Mass Effect: Andromeda. The game’s been out for almost a month and I’m not finished with it yet (how’s that for pacing?), and I’m really not sure how much I have left to go. Based on the level requirements to unlock certain things, I think there’s still […]

It’s officially here! Though it’s been available for pre-order since July 1st, now you can get Out of Orbit right now without having to wait! Also, stay tuned for some exciting OoO-themed events! Blurb: Following an explosive space battle, Captain Jasmine Hale’s escape pod crash lands on an unknown planet. She communicates with some of […]

Happy 4th of July! I’m on vacation this week and might actually be getting the chance to relax for a bit. (Turns out traveling and vacationing with two toddlers is more fun and less demanding than doing so with two infants, which is what we did last year.) I’ve been reading and knitting, and there’s […]
