Edits are underway for A Flame Among the Stars, and I’ve also seen a mockup of the cover, which is AMAZING. As soon as I’m allowed to share it, I will, because it’s seriously gorgeous. I don’t want to spoil anything, but: DRAGON. Also, as soon as I have a firm release date, I’ll be […]

(Parts of this were originally published on March 28, 2013) Trope: The Lost Lenore Description: The Lost Lenore is a dead love interest of one of the main characters. Not only is she dead, her absence has a profound effect on the character for the rest of the work, to the point where it influences […]

Before we get to this installment of Trope-tastic Tuesdays, a quick announcement: the newsletter subscriber bonus is going to be changing in a few weeks, so if you haven’t already signed up and received your free copy of Sweet Escape, don’t miss your chance! You can use the form that’s over there on the sidebar, […]

Trope: Raven Hair, Ivory Skin Description: Though beauty ideals tend to go in cycles when it comes to what’s popular at any given moment, Raven Hair, Ivory Skin is one of those tropes that’s often used as a shortcut for “this character is physically attractive”. Due to said cycles, these characters can take on all […]

(Parts of this were originally posted on February 7, 2013) Trope: Hot Chick in a Badass Suit Description: No link to the trope this time, because apparently in the years since I wrote the original post, TV Tropes has decided a list of women suits isn’t trope-tastic enough. I still think it’s a valid way […]

(Parts of this were originally posted on January 17, 2013) Trope: Ice Queen (and its sub-trope, the Defrosting Ice Queen) Description: The Ice Queen is aloof and, well, frigid. She may not want to get emotionally close to anyone, or it may just be men she disdains. There are a few different ways her icy […]

DAMN, I always get some awesome covers from the team at Decadent Publishing. Really, if this cover doesn’t tell you exactly what the book is about, then what will? Pre-orders start on November 6th, and the official release day will be November 20th. Follow along wherever I’m available to be followed (I’ve actually been using […]

All the cool kids have one, so I guess I should too? Something like that. A few posts ago, I mentioned how the rights for some of my earlier books have reverted back to me, and I plan on gradually re-releasing them. Combined with me also occasionally releasing shorter works that never found a good […]

Because balance is everything. When last we left off, I was debating about whether or not to temporarily shelve Sonata for Springtime. (And, obviously, blogging about it instead of actually writing anything.) After some internal debate, I decided to keep plugging away at it. I did write maybe a third of a chapter or so, […]

Happy Release Day to Fire Beyond the Frost. We’re trying something new for a change, and for at least 90 days, the book will be available for free if you’re a subscriber of Kindle Unlimited. As such, it’s exclusive to Amazon for the time being, but depending on how things go, we may go wide […]

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: […]

The first round of edits for Closing Montage is done. The nice part about it being such a short novella is there wasn’t a whole lot to be done there. Or, more importantly, there weren’t many moments that made me go “oh god, I’m such an idiot,” which might be a first. We might be […]
