What do a centuries old vampire and a Valkyrie have in common? Absolutely nothing. So why in the hell are they working together? The first in The Soul Wars series is out today!
She’s Fearless and Kicks Ass. Meet Kara.
The Soul Wars is divided into four novellas and the first novella, Souls Collide is out June 2. Preorder now. A Nordic goddess stood on the step. She was six feet tall with blond hair, almost white, cut close to her head on the sides and back, but long over her eyes. Her eyes were…
Cold Reign is Supreme
Everyone who reads my posts regularly knows I’m a massive fan of Faith Hunter’s Jane Yellowrock series. For longtime readers, Cold Reign is a big payoff. I agree with other bloggers who have said that if you haven’t read the preceding books, don’t start with this one. This is a reward for those who have…
The Soul Wars arrives in June with first novella!!!
Announcement: My first book, The Soul Wars, will be published in a four novella series starting June 1, through Falstaff Books! The first novella is titled Souls Collide and for my subscribers and followers, I’m revealing the first cover. (Squeee…..Her name is Kara and she’s a Valkyrie! Isn’t she badass?)

Silence Fallen by Patricia Briggs
Before we get started talking about Silence Fallen, let’s take a moment to wish Patty a Happy Birthday! Yes, February 28th is her birthday. A Pisces. Naturally creative, kind and understanding. But get this description from one astrology site. “Your ruling planet is Neptune that stands for spiritual enlightenment, fantasies, mercy and guilt.” Creepy, huh?…
Stephen Blackmoore’s Hungry Ghosts
Stephen Blackmoore’s third book (Hungry Ghosts) in his Eric Carter series will, finally, be available February 7th. For those who read the first two books, the third will not disappoint. Following our anti-hero through his story we witness Eric continue his rampage through whomever and whatever gets in his way, human or supernatural, to reach…
Showing, not Telling
When I first started writing, I had a terrible time figuring out how to write “to show” instead of “to tell.” I’ve learned a few things on the way and also see this error in my slush reading. First of all, watch for filter words like “felt” and “started to.” If you tell us a…
