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 … Continue reading Capclave 2024 Schedule

Luckily, I've … Continue reading July Wrap-Up & August Goals
June Wrap-Up & July Goals
Whew, June was a crazy month! Two releases within 2 weeks sounded like a good idea at the time, especially with connected stories, but my brain was absolutely fried.

April Wrap-Up & May Goals
Did I finish the rough draft of my current WIP last month? Not exactly.

Farpoint 2024 Schedule
I just published my first queer paranormal romance, so where better to share it in public for the first time than a science-fiction convention?

December Wrap-Up & January Goals
Happy New Year, friends! I had an amazing holiday cruising in the Bahamas with my family, then visiting friends in Atlanta for my birthday.

August Wrap-Up & September Goals
Since I finally wrote "the end" on Earth & Water on August 1, the rest of the month was focused on the boring admin side of officially launching myself in the self-publishing world.
