I'm slowly expanding my skills! ONE DAY I WANT TO BE A MASTER OF EVERYTHING. But that'll never be the case because the beauty of art is this: you will never be done. The most important thing I've learned by creating throughout the years is that nothing is perfect. Do […]

I said before that the majority of my books take place in the same universe (which doesn't have an official name yet but probably should--I've been calling it Sleeping Dragons). Prime and Trinity are two of the three main worlds in that universe. I'll announce the other when its first […]

When I wrote The Lost Princess of Howling Sky, I decided the series needed a map. Most high fantasy books have maps. It had to be done. I also needed a map for myself because the visual helps me keep track of things. Win-win. I figured why not make it […]

Vampire Captives: Chapter 1 Lisette Werewolves were vampires’ worst enemy.  The Scheng general snarled at me and spittle dripped down his soaked muzzle. I circled him slowly, noting the corpses at my feet so I wouldn’t trip, as he watched my every move with eyes glowing moonlight blue. The wisps […]

When I write a love story, I want to see it from all sides of the relationship(s). Though, I don't always do this because I don't think all stories need it. That's how I decide points of view and tense and everything--it's all based on what this story needs. In Nightshade Academy, the […]

I haven’t said much with everything going on. In fact, I’ve said next to nothing. This is because I believe words have power, a lot of power, and I’m not the one who needs to be heard. I’ve never been the victim of racism. I’m white and what do I know? Better […]

Lisette and Adano were the starting point of From Blood to Ashes. I usually build worlds and characters together, but since Prime was already made, thanks to The Lost Princess of Howling Sky, I had a pretty concrete setting to play with. The Lost Princess of Howling Sky is mostly about the […]
