Long story short: I have a pen name. I know it’s been a minute, but in the past four months, things have REALLY been happening. I’m now two people– Terry Maggert, writer of witches and dragons and things that go hump in the night– and I’m also on half of Daniel Pierce. As Daniel, I […]

I went back to Frankenmuth. Michigan, that is. This was my second year at Once Upon a Book, sponsored by the Stacey Rourke. She’s small, dynamic, and utterly committed to the book community. Note to young writers: she’s the kind of person to follow and learn from. This is how you grow. This is how […]

LibertyCon has come and gone. I leave my tribe after a long weekend. It’s a science fiction and fantasy convention that has the honor of producing more lifelong friends than any other event in my entire life. It’s my tribe– a thing you should find, and keep, and have and celebrate. It’s books and games […]

Four weeks ago, raw panic set in as I realized that I have to wear a toga this summer, so I found hot yoga.   I’m not wearing the toga for fun, mind you, but an author event in beautiful Frankenmuth, Michigan, a glorious little town with Christmas, Polka, giant pretzels, fudge, and midwestern charm […]

I went to Iowa last week. It’s my ancestral homeland (dad is from there). It’s filled with lovely people, open spaces, and the occasional blizzard. Maybe more than just occasional, but still, well worth the trip. I was at the North Iowa Book Bash, and it was simply amazing. People, books, fun. It’s basically heaven […]

Today, we had an overload of cuteness courtesy of a baby squirrel. I found him in the front yard, confused and weak. I snatched him up from a feral cat, who was approaching him with bad intentions, took him inside, and began the process of Baby Squirrel Rescue. Here are the highlights of the day: […]

MY BODY IS READY. And so is my luggage.* *Cat not included. I’m going to be all over the place this year, signing books and eating. Okay, mostly eating, but also signing books. Here’s a look at my schedule. If you have a book event near you that you think I should attend, let me […]

I made a large bowl of rather excellent pasta, if I may say so. Allow me to walk your through the process, which was chaotic but ultimately packed with flavor and excitement. Let’s begin by discussing the ingredients. For what I’m calling “Chicken Hilarity”, you will need: Chicken breast, sauteed in olive oil, salt, and […]
