How I Accidentally Wrote a Love Triangle
It’s been two and a half years since my last blog post. Believe it or not, I plan to get back to writing here on a regular basis. You don’t have to believe it yet; I hardly believe it.
Since it’s almost Valentine’s Day, I thought it would be a good time to post about my accidental love triangle. I’ve never talked about this in public before.
If you’ve read��Girl of Flesh and Metal, you may have noticed that Lena, the main character, has two guys with romantic interest in her. I never intended to...

No More Blogging, But Get Your Updates Here
I’ve pretty much given up on blogging. I think you and I would both prefer that I spend my writing time writing stories instead of blogs.
Right?
I think the best use of these posts going forward is for updates. I’ll post about cover reveals, pre-orders, releases, sales, and other news of that nature. If you’d rather hear from me more often though, subscribe to my newsletter or follow me on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter.
Speaking of updates, here’s my tentative release schedule for 2021. Happy ...

Coming Soon: Clash of Flesh and Metal
2020 is hard, y’all.
My original plan was to release Clash of Flesh and Metal, sequel to Girl of Flesh and Metal, in October. Obviously, that didn’t happen.
Because 2020 is hard.
I’m now on track for February, and I’m confident enough in that timeline that��� the ebook preorder is up! So consider this a combination cover reveal and preorder announcement.

The State of Things: March 2020
It’s March 23.
That means there is exactly one month until Girl of Flesh and Metal hits the shelves. But if you’ve been following along you know that already.
What else is going on?
I’m revising Good Luck and Bad Juju, which is the first in a trilogy about cursed sisters. One of them has to die.
The youngest sister, Raven, sees how the curse has affected prior generations. Her mother survived, but her aunt died. Her grandmother survived, but her great aunt died. Raven sees her mother and grandm...

Cover Reveal: Girl of Flesh and Metal
I am thrilled to show you the new cover for my upcoming young adult science fiction novel, Girl of Flesh and Metal.
Thanks so much to J Caleb Design for the artwork. I came to him with little more than a description of the book and the main character, and he put together this amazingness.
Without further rambling, here it is, followed by the book description. And BONUS: It’s already up for preorder���and at a discount. If you’re so inclined, you can scroll to the bottom of this post for the...

Cover Reveal: Good Luck and Bad Juju
It’s been a while since I published, but here is incontrovertible PROOF that I’ve been busy writing. Among the projects I’m working on is this new Young Adult Urban Fantasy trilogy.
Thanks to Seedlings Design Studio for the amazing artwork.
Here’s the cover art for the first book, Good Luck and Bad Juju, followed by a book description. I hope you’re as excited as I am for its release!

One sister must die.
The others have to live with it.
Hoodoo. Conjure. Folk magic.
