The third novel in “The Games of Love” series by Deanna Dee comes out today! I’m so happy to participate in her release day blast for FINISH HIM by interviewing her about a topic that is also near and dear to my heart: gaming. Though gaming has always been a huge part of my life…

NaNoWriMo Update: Week 1
I am on a roll with NaNoWriMo this year! Tonight I hit 16,000 words (36,000 total for the manuscript), and I’ve been consistently writing every day. The only exception has been 11/7, because that’s my husband’s birthday–instead, we had a great day watching the new James Bond movie and eating delicious Brasilian pizza. If you’re…

October Wrap-Up & November Goals
October Wrap-Up: I made it to 20,000 words in STEEL BLOOD by October 31. So I will definitely have at least 5k to 10k words to complete in December, but I am okay with that. I finished all of the Kitty the Werewolf books and wrote up my review of the final novel in the…

SF Signal hosts my blog post about vampires in popular fiction!
I took a film genre course in college, and wrote an entire research paper on the evolution of vampires in film. No knowledge is ever wasted, so with a little more work, I was able to write a (much shorter) essay on the evolution of vampires in popular fiction. SF Signal was lovely enough to…

STEEL BLOOD: My 2015 NaNoWriMo Novel
It’s that time of year again, kids. That time when a significant number of the writers in your life hibernate with their computers for hours on end, alternately spamming social media with words counts or angsting about how this is impossible and they will never get it done.

Review: KITTY SAVES THE WORLD by Carrie Vaughn
I had really high expectations for this book since it is the end of a 15-book saga by one of my favorite authors. Vaughn exceeded every single expectation. Bring together a bunch of old allies: Characters from every major adventure show up to help Kitty through this final battle. All of them play a significant…

September Wrap-Up & October Goals
September Wrap-Up: Reach 20,000 words in book 3, STEEL BLOOD. Progress: Better than August! After a few rounds of scene edits with my criqiue partners in which some narrative vomit was thankfully cut, I ended up with approximately 9,000 words written for the month, and I’m hanging out at about 14,000 words right now. Goal: Finish…

In honor of the film adaptation’s release, I figured I should post my review of THE MARTIAN today!

The Waters of Mars
Things that NASA did not announce today: The discovery of sentient alien life. The development of a working faster-than-light engine. That we’ve been using a Stargate in Colorado Springs to explore the universe since the mid-1990s.

New York City: The Final Frontier?
My husband and I took a short trip up to New York City this past weekend. We met two guys from Israel on a cruise last year, and the amazing power of social media allowed us to keep in touch! When both of them were back on our side of the globe, we couldn’t pass…

Interview with Samantha Holloway
The final book in Samantha Holloway‘s epic fantasy trilogy is coming out soon, and to celebrate, I’ve asked her here to pick her brain about the specifics of writing books in series format rather than one by one.

August Wrap-Up & September Goals
August Wrap-Up: Goal: Write 10,000 words of book 3, STEEL BLOOD. Progress: A little over 5,500 words. Part of that was because I didn’t even start writing until August 18, and the other part was crippling uncertainty as to the way I was starting the novel, which is one of the hardest parts of any…
