My New Website/Saying Goodbye to Blogger

I have an official website! Which means one thing...

The day has come to say goodbye to Blogger.

It's a wonderful website, but Wix is better in terms of customization, connecting with readers, and showcasing my books. Plus, I want something a little more professional as my books are getting published and I have an agent now.

All my previous blog posts will remain here, so don't worry about it gettin Read more of this blog post »

“I try not to dwell on what if’s, Ancient One. They can be dangerous.”
Dana Gricken, The Girl With The Invincible Blood

“A good person helps their friends—but a great person helps their enemies.”
Dana Gricken, The Girl And The Silver Mark

“Heed the words of the Dragonsong;
The fire in our blood makes us strong.
We fly together as one;
Ready to face whatever may come.
We may fall but we carry on;
Heed the words of the Dragonsong.
From fire and wind, we are born –
To fire and wind, we return.
May our wings always soar,
And our fire always burn.
Heed the words of the Dragonsong;
A dragon never dies, we forever live on.
We are the children of wind and fire;
What doesn’t kill us only makes us strong –
And only makes us fly higher.
Heed the words of the Dragonsong;
From this day forth, let it be known,
That by blood we all belong –
And our blood will always hold its own.
The swords of a thousand men cannot break our bond;
Heed the words of the Dragonsong.”

“To be fearless, to be righteous;
To be fair, and to never cause dismay –
That is The Witches’ Way.
To love, to hope;
To dream, and to never stray –
That is The Witches’ Way.
If you ever feel lost, and you’re alone and afraid –
Sometimes the path you walk is one you have made.
Believe that your darkest night will become your
brightest day.
That is the Witches’ Way.”
Dana Gricken, The Girl And The Silver Mark

“There is no such thing as a new idea. It is impossible. We simply take a lot of old ideas and put them into a sort of mental kaleidoscope. We give them a turn and they make new and curious combinations. We keep on turning and making new combinations indefinitely; but they are the same old pieces of colored glass that have been in use through all the ages.”
Mark Twain, Mark Twain's Own Autobiography: The Chapters from the North American Review

“Being a Humanist means trying to behave decently without expectation of rewards or punishment after you are dead.”
Kurt Vonnegut

“you can, you should, and if you’re brave enough to start, you will.”
Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft

“If you write (or paint or dance or sculpt or sing, I suppose),
someone will try to make you feel lousy about it, that’s
all. I’m not editorializing, just trying to give you the facts as
I see them.”
Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft

“Do not be afraid, my child,” Sheba told her. “Fear is the prison of the mind.”
Dana Gricken, The Girl With The Invincible Blood
