‘Vasilisa’ Mesmerizing, Melodic

Japan is beautiful, time travel is exhausting, and I discovered both as I celebrated twenty years of marriage with my husband.

We experienced sakura snow, skyscrapers no wider than a small room, whale sharks, endless stone steps to reach mountain top fortresses, peaceful shrines, and food that I’m going to attempt to recreate, if only to get a hint of the deliciousness. Often I felt like I was in the middle of a Studio Ghibli set. 

As for time travel–we flew out of Japan at 6pm on a Tu...

I am currently creating an audiobook for the novel Vasilisa. My hope is to finish it by the end of January and then I’ll need some beta listeners. I’m excited to hear how it turns out!

The following scene is between cousins Luukas and Tanye. 

Luukas paced the length of the dining room, his boots clacking over the wheelchair scuffed floor...

I love Christmas time. A time to be with family and to remember our Savior. May your day be filled with the peace and joy.

Creating a story involves a lot of revising. In this case I created a new opening which better captured the challenges that Kate faces. (warning–this has spoiler elements for the previous two King’s Trial books)
 

“Some say that change smells like springtime; damp earth and the vanilla scent of crocus. It doesn’t.” Kate’s voice lilted with laughter as she walked beside her father, Yosyph, her ha...

The Fantasy Author meet and greet is tonight from 8 – 9:30 EST

It’s going to be a casual event where each author will have their own Zoom room. You can just pop in with me for a few minutes or you can visit as many authors as you would like.

Be sure to check out the games and prizes. I’ll be giving away author signed paperbacks to a few lucky readers.

If you haven’t already, sign up here.

See you soon,

It is online and free. I hope to see you!

Come share an evening with your favorite fantasy authors (including me), on Nov 15th, from 8 to 9:30pm EST.

There will be laughter, banter, questions and answers, games and prizes, and more. Best of all, it’s free!

We’re going to meet on Zoom with our favorite drink (I’m bringing hot chocolate) and get to know each other. I’ll have my own personal Zoom room, so you can come meet with just me, or hop from room to room to meet all the authors.

Don’t worry if you’re not that familiar w...

“I tore through this book, it was so readable and the plot flowed in such a spectacular fashion and soon I was staying up past bedtime to finish it off.
