Wendy Sparrow's Blog

Earlier this week, my YA paranormal debut had a cover release on YA Books Central, but for those who haven’t seen it, it’s gorgeous and needs to be seen.

What I love about this cover is that the idea of gargoyle comes across but so does the gothic tone to the book. The font is just amazing–it feels 3D and yet elegant. For those who don’t know why the title is that, this is the book with Piper, who has OCD and is a cutter. Gris is a Watcher, a guy who can turn into a gargoyle-like creature an...

So, my birthday is this month (on May 5th.) Instead of receiving gifts ** this year, I’m giving away a duplicate of my favorite necklace. If you’re a writer or a reader or a fan of the show, you NEED this necklace. I actually hunted down the person I bought it from and begged to buy another. (It was pathetic. There was much whining.)

By the way, rather than do a separate post to announce this, I’ll tell you right now. In the big news department, in addition to having my upcoming YA debut, I’m...

Hey, guys! I have short story in an anthology out tomorrow. Covalent Bonds is the romance anthology for geeks and the people who love them.

My short story is called “The Hacked Match” and, oh my goodness, I stressed so hard over getting my hacker just right. So, so much. Luckily, my husband is a high-level network engineer and one of my best friends is as geeky as they come. Also, the anthology’s editor is no slouch in geeking herself. But, still, so stressful. I hope you’ll check it out and...

Once you start telling people you’re an author, you occasionally run across those who will casually diminish that or the value of your stories.

“Oh, if I had more time, I could be too.”

“Yeah, but you write romance.”

“Do you actually make money at it?”

“Oh, I have a great idea for a story…something you should write.”

For all those people, I’ve met far more who are wonderfully supportive, but I bring this up because so often the value of the stories we write are seen as a quirky hobby that...

I have a blog tour starting tomorrow for the boxed set of the Servants of Fate series and along with it–another giveaway, so I need to introduce it on here, along with the rules.

If you haven’t checked out my Servants of Fate series, it’s now all together and available free on Kindle Unlimited.

And, now, the choker. I went back to a choker with a clock hand because it works so well with a book set about the sons of Father Time.

I know…not the post you’d expect from an author or in my regular obsessive-compulsive disorder posts, but I keep having to repost this information again and again as people ask me about it, so I’m putting it all in one place.

(My background)

Some of you know that I’ve been diagnosed with hypermobility syndrome and will, mostly likely, eventually be diagnosed with Ehler’s-Danlos Syndrome Type 3 (EDS.) (Along with my son in fact.) It’s been a struggle for a long time to keep all my joints, ribs...
