What are you Reading?
Welcome to another installment of... What are you reading? For my January PD (Professional Development) Day at work, we did a Secret Santa gift exchange. If you wanted to participate you had to fill out a "About Me" page that asks favorite things, hobbies, and so on. I of course wrote that I write and love to read fantasy novels. So here we are on PD day and I'm opening my gift from my Secret Santa. Inside is a beautiful mug and some hot chocolate mix (some good materials to

Happy Valentine's Day
Happy Valentine's Day! Whether you have a significant other or not, enjoy the day! Love yourself, love others, be a friend to those around you. In honor of the day I have for you a special treat! A Valentine's story, never before published. Enjoy! ~~~~ Valentine's Day ~~~~ I stick to the shadows, where the streetlights don’t quite reach, as I move down Main Street. I barely notice the bite in the air. Cold doesn’t bother me. Very little does. People stroll past in pairs, s

Trigger Warning
Welcome back to trauma life! Let's talk triggers. When I was younger trigger warnings were not a thing that was put into books. Heck, I read a book when I was 15 that I likely should not have read due to all of the things in it. Like two people fighting inside of a cage naked, hanging above a crowd of people. One of them yanked off the other's penis and dropped it below to the people, who all scrambled for it. (Bonus points for those of you who have read that book and can com

Work in Progress
I have been working on the second book to my novel, Mine , which is titled Theirs . It follows three siblings who were designed to be weapons. Alone they are incredible, together they are unstoppable. Their story, much like Mine , is dark and touches on several triggering topics. I love these characters and always feel horrible for what they are going through, but I know in the end it will work out for them. (At least I hope it will). Since I still have some time until I can

Fan Art - Part Two
Welcome back to FAN ART! I have a TON of fan art, most of it for my original series, but also some from my new works. So I'm going to show you some more stuff today! Last time I did fan art for my first novel - Double Edged War. Today I am going to share fan art for Knowing! These were done by a friend and made using an art program. They are cute little chibi's of two of the main characters. Kayson Tamah Elizabeth Kayson and Tamah To check out more fan art go to the Extras P

When the Gods Play Games - Book Review
At one of my last book sales I met a fellow author at the table across from mine. She was selling fantasy books that caught my attention anytime she would talk about them to a customer. Before the event ended, she came over to my table and we talked trigger warnings. Which turned into a comparison to see which book had more. This lead to us trading copies of our books to read. Her novel, "When the Gods Play Games" is part of a trilogy. It reminds me of Hungry Games with some

Merry Christmas!
Happy Holidays readers! I was going to write you a bonus Christmas story for you to enjoy this holiday season. But life got in the way and... well things went a little crazy. So, unfortunately I wasn't able to finish it to my liking. With that said, I wanted to still give you a bonus something! As many of you know, I am currently working on my original novel that started this whole thing, Where Will You Go during the peak of my first draft I commissioned multiple fan arts for

A Darker Shade of Magic - Book Review
I love fantasy novels. I've been reading for years and when I went into a dry spell of not knowing what to read, I went to Barnes and Noble to search for something that would spark my interest. I scanned the fantasy section until this book caught my attention. I read a lot of different types of fantasy, but A Darker Shade of Magic was not something I'd picked up. The book is about magicians with the power to travel between worlds (different worlds of London). The book focuses

Fan Art - Part One
Some of my favorite things is expanding my world! Each thing that I do to expand brings the world to life not only for me, but my readers! Since middle school I have gotten fan art for my characters. Fan art became items related to my stories, to bonus stories written by people who enjoyed my world and so much more! When my co-writer and myself began writing Double-Edged War we of course decided fan art was totally needed! Below you will see some Fan Art for Double-Edged War!

The Return of Charts - College Stories
As you remember from High School stories, I had a habit of keeping organized in many different ways! I have a huge world in the Bound in Blood and Shadows world and so it takes a lot to keep everything organized. So, as college rolled on, I have found ways to keep more charts and more ways to keep up with everything. One of the things that I did was to make a chart on the Kingdoms/Villages and Locations in the Bound in Blood and Shadows world. It took the Kingdoms and places

How's the Writing Life?
Good afternoon! Things have been a little busy these last few months. Along with my normal work schedule I have been in my last semester of college (finally) I graduate December 14th this means my writing has unfortunately taken a back seat. I've not written a lot these past couple months but I have a plan for January that I hope will put me back on schedule. I am hoping to take one of my original class meeting days and turning it into a writing time. I am use to putting that

Let's talk about trauma
Hello readers, Today we are going to hit on a deeper topic. For those of you who have read any of my novels you are aware that a lot of my characters have some form of trauma. In my education I have studied trauma and the effects that trauma has on people. I am trained to teach two trauma classes as well as a parenting class that relates to trauma informed care. My degrees are both psychology and trauma focused and I've worked with many people, young and old, who have experie

Happy Halloween!
Halloween used to be a Celtic festival of Samhain where people danced around a large bonfire in costume to ward off evil spirits and ghosts. This night fell in the cooler season when summer ended and darkness came sooner. People believed the land of the living and the land of the dead were closer than ever. In 1000 A.D. the church marked November 1 All Souls’ Day in honor the dead. This day was celebrated similar to Samhain with large fires, parades and people dressing up as
