I’m still not able to login to this website at home, but I’m staying at my parents’ for the week so they can have some grandbaby time, so I’m here for the moment. However, I originally wanted to post this on the Firmament Series website, but apparently the domain is not propagating. If you don’t know what that means, don’t…

He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not…
Last week, I wrote about how much I hate when people over promise things they can’t possibly deliver in stories. It got me thinking about a few of my other trope pet peeves, so I figured I might as well dedicate another post or two to them and see whether anyone else agrees with me! I’ve been slowly making my…
Deus ex Machina
For the past few months, my husband and I have been watching a brilliant show called Person of Interest. If you aren’t familiar with it, the premise is that there’s a machine that sees everything and can predict threats of violence–mostly designed to prevent terrorist attacks, but its creator also uses it to try to save the “irrelevant” people–people whose…
Guest Post–A Firmament Fan’s Look at August Howitz
Well, I didn’t say anything in the last post about analyzing everyone’s favorite Austrian space pilot, but considering it’s the month of August it seemed only appropriate! Grace brought it up to me that how could we miss an opportunity to write continue the series with a breakdown of the beautiful character that is August. And since I would write…
The Month of August
Yes, I know the month of August is almost over. I meant to do this post earlier in the month, but I’ve been not only working full time and dating and trying to keep up with friends, but I’ve been working on getting the fourth Firmament book published, I’m working on two other writing projects, I have a new audiobook…

A Firmament Fan’s Look at Andi Lloyd
Today I am proud to feature a special guest post by my talented sister Hope Pennington, whose book FairyTale will be released soon! I enjoyed reading her assessment of the main character of the Firmament series, and I hope you will, too. I’ve invited her to write a few more of these character studies over the next weeks, so stay…
Two in One
My blog tour continues today, and so does my friend Elizabeth’s! I’ll be hosting a guest post for her here while my friend Olivia hosts one for me over at her blog. It’s like guest-post-ception. So click on over to read my post about characters and making them more like people, then save that tab and come back to read…
Weird Things and Parallel Universes
What was the weirdest thing I researched for Implant? Who am I in a parallel universe? And am I like any of the characters in the book? Claire Banschbach asked me this and more in an interview on her blog!
If I Have to Read This Book One More Time…
…I don’t even know what I’ll do. Go crazy. Delete the entire thing. Maybe even swear off writing for ever. As I rush through the very final stages of editing Implant I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve gone over this book. I enjoy a good re-read as much as the next bibliophile, but the same work five…
