It's almost surreal to think this story is finally out in the world, after so many years working on it.

It may be my newest release, but some of these characters have been with me longer than any of those from previous books. Here's to Kye, Sorin, the Zylars, and Zinn

The sequel to Starlight Jewel is an engrossing, gritty adventure that nods to macabre fairytales. You can find the full review on Willow Wraith Press.

Thank you! 2025 has been a roller coaster year. There have been ups and downs, corkscrew turns I couldn’t have anticipated, and some wild twists. But overall, it has been a pretty damned good year for...

Happy Thanksgiving to those celebrating in the US!

Here's a photo of my neighborhood's flock from about 2 weeks ago (not sure if flock is the right word for a group of turkeys, but they're birds, so I'm running with it 😅)

Have a great day!

Ky Vertex is stuck on his polluted and noxious home world indefinitely. And it’s slowly killing him. His only option seems to be a deal with the devil. "This cyberpunk thriller has a lot to offer."

“House of Beth,” by Kerry Cullen is a strange and magnetic piece of literary horror. Uncanny and romantic, peculiar and charming, this one is a corker of a novel from any author, but an outrageously brilliant debut.

I have the week off work to prepare for the holidays. Cleaning and baking is in order, but I should have some extra time for writing too.

With the weirdness at work, I'm looking forward to a few days off!

The Scorpion Men have a saying about red sunrises...particularly when they occur alongside battles.

This snippet comes from War of the Nameless, book 3 in The Relics of War series.

With a twisty plot filled with magic, immortal politics, & a bit of mayhem, not to mention the return of some wonderful characters, Redneck Revenant by David R Slayton was a great time (I adore this series!)

Rogue Community College by David R Slayton is part magical academia, part murder-mystery, with a dash of romance, all built upon the realms featured in the Adam Binder series - there is magic, inter-realm politics, undead, and more. It's fun!
