Train tracks - Adventure Stories

Note: After an adventure has run its course, I collect the posts together so readers don’t have to jump around the blog to re-read the story. Originally this spanned a month’s time, posting each Thursday and continuing according to how readers voted in the comments. The comments you see at the end now are therefore… Continue reading Jockey Trouble

Blain – Discarded Dragons Excerpt

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.

It’s That Time!!

Discarded Dragons stacked books

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!!

Attack – Discarded Dragons Excerpt

It's difficult to pick excerpts when the book isn't linear! Discarded Dragons has 12 different endings, so no matter what excerpt I pick, it won't totally give you a glimpse into the whole book.

Steampunk Dragons Set

There's this meme running around. I don't know who to credit for the meme or I'd mention it, but I do appreciate the sentiment. It's so incredibly true. There are times something will catch my attention - a crazy twisted tree or an accent or even a smell, especially when the trees are blooming -… Continue reading Dragon Inspiration

Discarded Dragons Cover Reveal!

Discarded Dragons Mock Cover

Let's start this shindig with a fun, totally amazing cover reveal. I can't post this without a shout out to the cover designer and artist, Justin Allen. Seeing the finalized cover for a book might be one of the coolest parts of self-publishing, but getting to that cover requires a lot of communication. When I started… Continue reading Discarded Dragons Cover Reveal!
