Dearest Squad, A new chapter is now live! Chapter 26: Things Left Unsaid I refer to this as the “Mostly Dead” chapter, after that moment in The Princess Bride when Westley was only “mostly dead” but still had a ways to go. I needed these chapters, this break between all the action. The readers need a break. The characters…
Dearest Squad, The first draft of this chapter was a bunch of talking heads, as Thursday wakes up and has back-to-back heart-to hearts with Jack and then Silk. (Since I’m an ace at dialogue, my zero drafts often look more like scripts than novel chapters.) By the time I figured out what words really needed to be said between…
Dearest Squad, I have rewritten this chapter (and the next) so many times over the past 3? 4? months that I’m tempted to post this side-by-side with the original Chapter 24 I gave Sarah back in December, just so you can see how different they are. (Princess Sarah is currently on hiatus until I can afford to bring her…
Dearest Squad, “Le roi est mort, vive le roi!” has always been one of my favorite sayings. I’ve been reading books and speaking other languages for so long that I don’t even remember when I first learned it. “The king is dead, long live the king!” may sound like nonsense, but it refers to TWO different kings. In 1400’s…
This is the story about the giant moon sticker I’ve been meaning to tell you guys. But the universe knew I had to wait until today to tell it. You’ll see why. Alethea’s Magic Shop: https://www.amazon.com/shop/aletheakontisGiant glow-in-the-dark moon sticker: https://amzn.to/3OSq2aN I didn’t put up the giant glow-in-the-dark full moon sticker the day that I received it. My soul wasn’t…
Dearest Squad, The last 3 months have been so hard. Emotionally, financially, whatever. All of it. I did manage to write a short story for an anthology during January (it’s a near-future near-apocalyptic story called “Burn the Veil”), but getting back to THIEFTESS was so difficult. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve rewritten Chapters 24 & 25….

I’ve been a lot of things in my life, an actress, a theater manager, a publisher, a storm chaser, an author, a princess, just to name a few. And with each of these I entered into a new era of my journey, learned something new about myself and about the world, and grew in ways I can’t even calculate….
I’ve been waiting for over ten years to finally be able to write Thieftess, the fourth book in the Woodcutter Sister series and that time is finally here! And best of all, my Patreon patrons get to read it as I work on it! This means that if you subscribe to my Patreon at the $25/mo level, you’ll get…
If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ve no doubt heard me talk about being a child actor. However, when you go searching for Pass it Along your search would always come up empty… UNTIL NOW! My trusty assistant, Sarah, reached out to South Carolina ETV and Public Radio back in November to inquire about how we could…
