It’s been almost a year since I’ve made a blog post, and I apologize for that, y’all. Please let me be a bit vulnerable and honest here? I’m behind on my own 27 Kingdom Kickstarter rewards that so many of you kindly backed last year, and I apologize for that too. I was also contracted for… Continue reading In Wicked Times, Go West!

Birthday Month Adventures
Because I write and schedule newsletters a few days ahead of time (thank you, again, Kendra!) It totally didn’t occur to me that my last newsletter – the one about my awesome artist friends helping with The 27 Kingdoms – went out RIGHT on my Husband-of-Awesome’s birthday. So now I’d like to wish him a… Continue reading Birthday Month Adventures
Introducing Noble Armata Press!
The New Home of The 27 Kingdoms Once upon a time, I “accidentally” wrote about 50,000 words on a dark fantasy story about twins and a tower for a short story call. I don’t remember if this was actually the first time I so dramatically overestimated the length of a story, but it stands out… Continue reading Introducing Noble Armata Press!
What I’ve Been Working on…
It’s not science fiction, except there are some theories and thought experiments… It’s not fantasy, though there is world building, whimsy, and a mention of faeries… It’s not horror, though there are some dark parts… It is funny as hell, cooking related, and the passion project of a dear friend… about some dear friends! My… Continue reading What I’ve Been Working on…

National Poetry Month, April 2
I’m taking poetic license on the definition of “date,” as I often do. It is the same day from the time I wake up until I go to bed. So there. This is a quick post, at least. I had this pairing in my mind for a while because this is a picture that has… Continue reading National Poetry Month, April 2
National Poetry Month, April 1
For National Poetry Month, I decided to challenge myself with an ekphrastic poem every day. What’s an ekphrastic poem? It’s a poem written about a picture or work of art–or inspired by a picture / work of art–meant to expand upon the meaning of the piece it’s in response to. I’ve had the honor and… Continue reading National Poetry Month, April 1
DragonCon Schedule
OMG it’s DragonCon!! This is the biggest convention I do all year, and one of the most insane. I…can’t even measure the excitement / anxiety level right now… Also, I ought to be in bed because I’ve got a Dark O’Clock flight… soon. So, REAL QUICK, here are a few places you’ll find me at… Continue reading DragonCon Schedule
Conbust Schedule!
Three months into the year, and it’s a FOURTH convention schedule I’m posting! Woohoo! (At some point my personal blog posts will be more than convention schedules; I promise! I have thoughts on a variety of things and some health updates, too…) Anyway, I know it sounds redundant, but this is another beloved convention of… Continue reading Conbust Schedule!
