So, it has been a while since I posted here. It has been an insane year in which I took on an academic leadership role, started earning my PhD, had one of my schools unceremoniously shut down, and found out my full-time school will close. Top it off with breaking my arm and wrist by slipping on the ice and getting a new job,it’s been pretty hectic. The good news is that I have some stories in the works for 2017.

I’d like to start of 2017 with something creative in order to set the mood for th...

Discussing Life Is Strange Part II is going to be more about theories for Episode 5. It’s still at least a month or more away from being available, and I’m obsessed. Can you tell? There are so many really interesting and cool things about this game. It’s story-based and takes zero gaming skill (or knowledge, really) and reminds me of a visual choose your own adventure novel.

After writing these two posts, I had a few thoughts when I read some articles on the games. In thisarticle, the develo...

Today’s post is going to be a combo of fangirl rambling, story analysis, and prediction. Typically, I don’t talk too much about one of my many passions outside of reading and writing fiction, but I’m making an exception for Life Is Strange because I believe it is very relevant to my work and to YA fiction as a whole. I’m a huge fan of video games, and currently, I’m obsessed with an episodic game called Life Is Strange. This game is in an episode format in which they release one of 4-6 parts...

So, I have extremely exciting news about Fated Soul: it has an official release date! August 1st, you will have access to this new dark paranormal romance! It should be available for preorder within the next week at a special discount of 99¢! In the mean time, I recently published a short Tween/Teen horror story, The Hat Man Club, which I totally forgot to announce. Jeez, I’ve been spacey. But it is one of a couple of short horrors I’ve written lately unrelated to the Dark Ascension Series. S...

I know I showed you all the process for the Fated Soul (book 1 in The Hourglass Chronicles) cover, but I never showed you the final cover. On top of that, the working book blurb is finished. This dark(ish) paranormal romance is months away from being published.I think you all are really going to enjoy it. After that, I’ll be working on a special little something that I know a lot of people have been asking me for. Think along the lines of Rebecca + Fox. Very exciting! So, without further ado,...
