So, if you don’t know me… if I’m happy and writing then I pretty much live my days in another place. I’ll be doing soccer pick-up and be sketching out a sword fight in my head. PTSA meeting? I’m thinking of the ogre who is...
And now for something completely different… ish. I’m a fantasy writer and so I’m a sucker for maps. All the best epic fantasies have them. I’m published in a genre that pulls from this world with fantastical elements and doers of great deeds, sooooooo… no...
Dragons rock coffee’s ass. Seriously. No, really, hear me out. I’m embarking on a blog tour with the fabulous Goddess Fish Productions. So this is important. The reason being for the duration of the tour YOU can purchase my novel on Amazon for 0.99. You...

I was surprised and delighted with all of your responses and comments on the introduction that I posted last week on “The Dragon”. Some of you actually cared enough about the story that your emails critiquing it were quite passionate, even pushy! I cannot think...
I am waiting for my friends who are “Editing” my first book (this is code for ripping to shreds) so until they are finished I have some time to play before rewrites. This is an idea that I have for a story. I thought perhaps I would...
