I am an avid reader who decided to write late in life. The joys of writing are many-fold. It allows me to escape into my imagination and create new worlds and live in the minds of my characters.

The stories I read growing up inspired me to write. I am interested in historical fantasy and within that society, examining the human heart in conflict. I like to place my female characters in difficult situations and see how they learn to survive with no actual power. And watch my male characters fall in love while fighting for king and land. I love exploring the struggle between love and duty.

First draft done

Eighty-three thousand words in, the story finally learned how to stand on its own—and then promptly broke my heart.

This book has been living in my head for a long time, but writing it still surprised me. One of the unexpected joys was returning to familiar ground. A few characters with ties to The Land of Magadha slipped into this story, and weaving those threads back to my very first series felt

The good: Baz and Simon fans can rejoice. There is plenty of them and their relationship saga.

Once I started the Simon Snow series, I decided to continue my re-read. Wayward Son is the author’s desire to bring her characters to Nebraska come true. Why bother being an author if you cannot make your fantasies come alive?
