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…

Pride in the Evie Cappelli Series

If I have one regret about Evie's series, it's that I didn't get to put as much emphasis on the sexuality and relationship dynamics of my main character and her love interest, Micha. I did address this once, here, but I wanted to revisit it again for Pride month. As I mentioned last week, it's…

#MHMon: Anxiety, depression, and the inability to reach out

It's been a while since I've pulled out this hashtag. For those unfamiliar, #MHMon is Mental Health Monday, which I started doing on the first Monday of the month to discuss mental health and creativity, how they intersect, and how they impact each other. I haven't been using it much lately, though, because...well, honestly, it…

News and Announcements!

Oh, good. You're here. I want you to do me a favor. See that box right there? --> The one about the mailing list? --> Go ahead and pop your email address in that box. I'm asking this for a couple of reasons. First, it's going to be a more effective way for me to…

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…

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…

Authors in the Wild

It's always exciting when I get to add something to my Events and Appearances page. As of this week, Missouri and I are both confirmed for the Mid Ohio Indie Author Book Expo here in Columbus (well, Grove City. But it's C-bus adjacent). I'll be there with copies of The Spider's Web, and we've also…

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.…

An apology, a cover, and a really long Twitter thread

Friday was...interesting. Some of you may have noticed a mad scramble as I tried to track down any posted images of THE SPIDER'S WEB. Some of you may not. It all started with Twitter. Well, with a blog post, really. Not mine. You see, last Friday an interview I did with Dianna L. Gunn on her…
