Kirkus Reviews on Queen of None
As publication time comes nearer for Queen of None, reviews are coming in! I was thrilled this morning to find the Kirkus Reviews take on the book: A captivating look at the intriguing figures in King Arthur’s golden realm. Kirkus Reviews I just submitted the last pass on the novel, as well, so the timing was pretty cool. I have so many thoughts right now on this, given the state of everything right now… but it’s truly exciting to see this book resonating. Yes, all books mean a great deal to the writers who craft them. Queen of None is particularly dear, in ways that I can’t quite articulate at…

Rock Revival is Here!
It’s a bit late in the day over here, but the day is not quite over. Today, Rock Revival makes its way into the world. It’s hard to encapsulate just what it feels like to put a book out like this. Technically, it’s my second published novel, but it’s my first non-genre novel, so it’s a bit like starting all over again. Genre has been very good to me, but I can’t say it’s all of me. Music has been such a deep, essential part of my life for so long, and I wanted to write this book to bring to life what I felt was a plausible story — not…

Where Hath April Fled?
April has a certain literary weight to it, doesn’t it? Regardless of what Chaucer or Eliot thought, one thing is clear: April has come and gone too fast for my liking. This in-between month has lived up to its reputation here in North Carolina, however, and we’ve had lots of rain and a very cool spring. The skies finally cleared today and it’s been a bright afternoon, crisp and blue-skied, with the promise of more to come. My first cosmo bloomed. I’ve been cataloguing wildflowers in the forest. Writing has been going well. A few weeks ago I finished the first draft of Glassmere. For those who might not remember, it’s…

2017 Publications!
2017 was a pretty big year around these parts. I saw the publication of two novellas and two short stories — all of which I hold quite dear. First, there came Wothwood, a heroic fantasy novella (yes, you read that right… it’s short and it’s fantasy) about the “wood where the world is broken.” While there’s a good deal of action and adventure, it’s at its heart about inheritance and revenge, and who you decide to be as a hero. I anticipate a sequel to this, but it may be a bit longer than a novella. I’m also planning on Aoda’s further adventures. Then came “Two Moons and Red Bread” which…
