THIEFTESS Chapter 40: The Lucky Thief

Dearest Squad, A new chapter is now live! Chapter 40: The Lucky Thief Before Scrivener, I used to keep Excel spreadsheets of my daily word counts. So I know what day I first started writing this novel: June 23, 2015. Eleven years is a long time. Because of that, I don’t always remember the exact order in which certain…

THIEFTESS Chapter 39: The Northmen

Dearest Squad, What with one thing or another, 11 chapters happened. Okay, not really. What happened was that I uploaded a bunch of chapters to Tapas (hello, new Tapas family!). Tapas is an app/platform that I began researching in 2024 as a possible place on which to release my super fun mainstream-reality-show-idol-romance-drama set in Korea…but then last year Carter…

THIEFTESS Chapter 28: The Luckiest of Men

Dearest Squad, A new chapter is now live! Chapter 28: The Luckiest of Men I often think about how much of this book could not have been written ten years ago. Like even just this chapter title, for instance, which was inspired by Harrison Ford’s magnificent Life Achievement Award speech at the SAG awards in March. “I am indeed…

THIEFTESS Chapter 26: Things Left Unsaid

Dearest Squad, A new chapter is now live!

I needed these chapters, this break between all the action. The readers need a break. The characters…

The Trix Adventures

I’m always hesitant to recommend the Trix books to my fans, since Trix’s adventures parallel the Woodcutter Sisters series. And until THAT series isn’t finished (click here to read why), THIS trilogy can’t be properly tied up. But Trix and Lizinia are still two of my favorite characters of all time, and these award-nominated books are still wonderful and…

Fairyleaks

You would be amazed the the number of things we, as professional authors, are not allowed to announce to the public. Book deals, cover art, bestseller list placement and awards…just to name a few. In this Age of the Intarwebs, however, it’s tough to keep things under wraps. So it actually *thrills* me when someone leaks something (especially cover…
