I often pencil in post ideas into my calendar. Then, when I have some time between writing books, I'll check the calendar and get another post done. This usually works great, but sometimes I look at my calendar and have to scratch my head in confusion, trying to figure out what I meant by the… Continue reading Why Zap Dragon
Every time I produce an adventure, it seems I try to shorten the time frame from writing to publication. This hasn't been intentional but this year's no different. You see, I made it into GalaxyCon in Raleigh, NC at the end of July. This has been my best convention to date and so I'm hoping… Continue reading Zap Dragon Update #1
I learn something new every single time I put a book together. You'd think I'd reach a point where the process is routine, but so far there's always some little detail that's just waiting to surprise me.

It's exhilarating and terrifying all at the same time but if you don't let the work go, you'll forever be editing and the art will never reach a point… Continue reading Tomorrow’s the Day!
I had a difficult time choosing this excerpt! Because this is an adventure book, you actually get to meet Blain a couple different ways depending on which path you take through the book and all of the ways you encounter Blain are fun, but here's one of the encounters. Hope you enjoy =) Publication Date: September… Continue reading Blain – Discarded Dragons Excerpt
I like to dream. But I'm somewhat terrible at planning the steps between dreaming and making something a reality. Knowing this, my husband and I regularly sit down together and he helps me plan out each writing year. When we started this year, I'd never gone to a convention before. I'd also never taken an… Continue reading It’s That Time!!
