I’m not doing a very good job of blogging, am I? I could offer several excuses, but I won’t–I’ll just say I have every intention improving. In the meantime, I have something very exciting to share with you–the Implant cover! My sister from over at The Brightness Project came to me once I started talking about publishing and begged me…

The Liebster Award
So, Faith was kind enough to award me the Liebster Award (who was Liebster and what is it an award for? I’m not entirely sure… but it looked fun and I was touched that Faith thought of me, so why not?) and so here I am! I know I’ve not been blogging very much–I’ve been moving for the summer and…
Avengers–Still Think You’re the Only Monster?
I recently saw Avengers: Age of Ultron in our local theater. Armed with a root beer and a box of Junior Mints, I went in looking for a fun couple of hours and came out with a head full of thoughts and ideas and ponderings. Life of a writer. Driving home, the thoughts percolated into three distinct topics (or rants,…
It’s Always Fun to Get Free Stuff
Been enjoying hearing me talk about Implant lately? Are you curious? Do you want to have it before all of your friends? (Because everyone you know is definitely going to be running out to buy this book the moment it hits virtual shelves. *nods*) Well, good news! I’m going to give away the very first official copy of Implant! I’m…
Colored Highlights and Drifting Shadows
Do you like poetry? I love it, though I can be kindof picky when it comes to which poems resonate with me, and which ones I just don’t click with. Some of my favorite poetry is that which my dear friend Ophelia-Marie Flowers had written. I have a couple of her books, and can’t wait to get my hands on…
Don’t Write What You Know
Anyone who’s ever turned their hand to writing knows this this adage, as well as most who haven’t. “Write what you know.” There are many great writers who have followed this advice. Charles Dickens, for instance. Nearly all of his stories had autobiographical elements, and most of them took place in the nineteenth century London where he lived out his…
“Call me Neil, okay?”
“You were on the Head’s side. What made you change your mind?” Doc’s lips turned up ever so slightly. “You should be able to guess. I forgot what it was to have principles or convictions until that idealistic dreamer came along. After I was sent to the base as a spy, he reminded me–in no uncertain terms, either. You’ve seen…
Star Trek Fanfic–A Friendly Game
It’s been far too long since I shared one of my Star Trek fanfics, so while I work on my post about Neil Crater, I’m going to pull one out of the archives. Laugh and enjoy! A Friendly Game or Hearts Have Been Broken “Checkmate.” Montgomery looked up to make sure he’d heard right. “What did you say, laddie?” “Checkmate,…
The Beginning of the End
Gordon pedaled as fast as he could, intensely focused on taking deep breaths. Each inhalation set off a dull pain deep in his chest, but he persisted, stubbornly ignoring his rapidly increasing heart rate. Baum would fuss that he was exerting himself too much, but Gordon didn’t care. He had to get into shape somehow, and riding his bike to…
Creighton Hill Cover Reveal
“No one can mysteriously disappear leaving no trace. It isn’t realistic.” “You’re right, Emily,” her grandfather said thoughtfully. “It isn’t realistic. However, a good many things happen in this world that are not realistic, things supernatural.” Today I’m excited to be participating in my friend Morgan’s cover reveal for hew new book, Creighton Hill! I do have some news of…
