Bound Off

That's right, tomorrow is release day! After 12 years of work, a failed attempted a indie publishing, and innumerable drafts, the Evie Cappelli series is finally coming to a close. The omnibus will be out tomorrow, in both ebook and paperback, on Amazon and on my Etsy (it will take a little longer for me…

Vampire cats? What vampire cats?

A couple of weeks ago, I talked about pet death in fiction and why I will never do it. I thought this time around, I'd be a little more cheerful and introduce you to one of my favorite fictional pets. This is Dracula. Well, not quite. That's actually Hermes, but he bears a pretty strong…

5 MORE things you didn’t know about the Evie Cappelli series

Micha is demi-pan. I know I listed him as being just pansexual in my last round up of things you didn't know, but the more I write his character, the more I realized he was on the asexual spectrum, and that gender is pretty meaningless to him, in terms of attraction. While the first draft…

Q&A: The Ferrymen

When is this book coming out?  September 5, 2017. What is this book even about? THIS IS BOOK 2 IN THE EVIE CAPPELLI SERIES. Nearly a year after her failed suicide attempt, Evie Cappelli is still seeing ghosts. That’s okay, though. It’s landed her a high paying—but not glamorous—job in supernatural law enforcement with the…

July Wrap Up

Send out at least 1 query every week This did not happen. I was so busy, I didn't have the time to invest in it. You would think sending query letters would be a quick thing to do, especially since it's mostly copying and pasting, but it usually takes me about 15-30 minutes per email,…

Character Aesthetics: Micha

Continuing my series of posts of patterns that make me think of my characters, today we have Micha. If you'd like to see Evie's collection, you can find it here. As you can imagine, having a book set in Canada means knitwear is a pretty big part of my characters' wardrobes. Especially since Evie, the…

Character Aesthetic: Evie Cappelli

I thought I'd do something a little different this time around, and show off some knitting and crochet patterns that remind me the characters in THE SPIDER'S WEB and THE FERRYMEN. All of these patterns are available on Ravelry. Some of them are free, some are not. And no, none of these are my designs.…
