I have the joy of being the Art Coordinator for the Phoenix Fiction Writers (PFW), a collective of 11 indie authors of science fiction and fantasy. I talk about them a lot, but they are such incredible writers and humans. I’m thankful to call them both friends and colleagues. We’re celebrating our third year as …
A year ago, I was a nervous wreck. After six years of hard labor, I had clicked “publish.” My baby, Child of the Kaites, was ready to be shared with the world. I didn’t dare hope for what an amazing adventure this year has been. Since Child of the Kaites, I’ve published five short stories, …
I know you may be unfamiliar with some or all of the Phoenix Fiction Writers, so here’s a helpful list of who they are and why you might want to pick up their books from PFW’s sale.
Child of the Kaites has its first 10 reviews! I’m incredibly thankful for everyone who has read this book, and amazed with gratitude that so many have taken the time to leave reviews. As a token of my appreciation, CotK is on sale for just .99 this weekend. Starting today, get your copy here: amzn.to/2CcfCLp …

By the end of the first draft, I realized it would be a whole lot longer than that, with the first draft falling somewhere in the middle of the series. Over …
Happy Monday! As a teacher and writer, I’m thrilled for it to be summer. I’m still teaching part-time, but fewer hours means I’m fully in get-Child-of-the-Kaites-ready-for-release mode. I always feel the need to qualify statements about the future, as I have no idea what the next minute even holds, but as of now Child of the …
April is shaping up to be an exciting month! I have three exciting pieces of news, two writing related, one personal. First Piece of News: The Weavers’ Blessing Update I previously announced the upcoming fifth birthday of The Weavers’ Blessing. In that announcement, I said its pretty new look would be coming to you on April 10th, its actual …
This is one of those posts where I tell you that I’ve been interviewing for jobs all week, and my sister got married this weekend, and I’m exhausted, and life’s insane, and so I don’t have your weekly installment of Child of the Kaites ready yet. I shall make every effort to get the chapter to …
Dear readers, I have happy news!! I’m starting a new job as a long-term substitute teacher. You may know that I’ve been a day-to-day substitute this year (and, if you’re interested, you can read some about that adventure over on my teacher blog). This has been a challenging, alternately rewarding and tear-inducing, experience, and while …
