  • Con Report: Northern Rainbow Romance Retreat 2024

    To say the past 2 months have been rough for me is an understatement even before the U.S. election results this week. I’m slowly getting all of my projects back on schedule and catching up on the epic to-do list, and today’s task is finally writing up my convention report for the first Northern Rainbow…

  • Northern Rainbow Romance Retreat 2024 Schedule

    I am extremely fortunate that the year I added romance to my brand, many new romance events also debuted. My willingness to invest in original ideas (which has always been an integral part of my brand) means I’ve had fabulous opportunities not often available to “newer” authors. This week, I’m thrilled to participate in my…

  • Capclave 2024 Schedule

    How has it been 5 years since I attended Capclave? I had to double-check my own blog because I didn’t believe it. I participated virtually in 202, and I unfortunately had to cancel my appearance in 2022 to quarantine after an international trip. Regardless, I’m thrilled to be back this year to an event I…

    You know I love cruises. You know I love conventions. You better believe that I was one of the first people signed up when this convention on a cruise was announced! Even more exciting (and possibly appropriate), the Rainbow Readers Cruise 2024 was also my first official appearance in my new romance author guise. Then…

  • Balticon 58 Schedule

    After a hiatus last year (okay, I went on a cruise), I’m returning to my original, hometown convention this weekend for Balticon 58! I may have added romance to my repertoire, but speculative fiction remains my first love, and I’m thrilled that I’ll get to share my love of each this year during panels that…

  • Book Review: The Silent Prince (Sun and Moon #1) by L. Eveland

    This book involves two queer heroes who eventually develop an intimate relationship with each other, but this story is far from a romance. Eveland excellently balances that line between telling an epic fantasy story that happens to involve queer characters and having their queerness be essential to the story without tipping the storyline toward overt…

  • Book Review: All I Survive (All’s Fair #3) by Abrianna Denae

    Read my reviews of previous books in the All’s Fair series: All I Want (#1) | All I Fear (#2) Love is not necessarily a stagnant thing, and I have so much respect for storytellers who don’t freeze their characters in amber at the moment of a previous “happily ever after.” Denae has crafted such complicated and…

  • Con Report: ApollyCon 2024

    Last year, I had the pleasure of becoming friends with another MM romance author relatively local to me, Rory Maxwell. Our friendship has been fantastic for writing support, both virtual and in-person working dates. And it’s a good thing we hit it off so well because we promptly planned a ton of events together! We…

  • Book Review: The Steady (Lost Boys #4) by Kelly Fox

    Read my reviews of previous books in the Lost Boys series: The Thief (#0.5) | The Skeptic (Lost Boys #1) | The Crush (#2) | The Punk (#3) I often joke that it’s not a Kelly Fox book unless it makes me laugh so hard that I scare a cat at least once. While this story definitely includes moments…

  • Book Review: Cohesion (Chain Reaction #3) by Aurora Crane

    Read my reviews of the previous books in the Chain Reaction series: Catalyst (#1) | Reactant (#2) This book fulfilled all my expectations, and then some, for the long-awaited finale of this trilogy. The story does not work as a stand-alone; both the relationship arc(s) and external plot build on what has come before. The author has…

  • Book Review: Saving Rafe (Lords of Discord #2) by Jocelynn Drake

    Read my review of the first book in the Lords of Discord series, Claiming Marcus. This book opens with the Varik clan at a moment of fragile peace, trying to solidify their place in the greater vampire community after the events of the first installment of this series. Even as we get an immediate reminder…

  • Book Review: Conquest (Four Horsemen #1) by Sienna Moreau

    Moreau’s interpretation of the Four Horsemen myth accounts for contemporary ideas of religion while simultaneously putting an intriguing spin on the concept. That Conquest and his brothers are in the mortal dimension to initiate a deadly purge is never in question. This being a recurring event initiated by either good or evil when one side…
