I wanted to make sure everyone knows about two great books coming out this week – definitely something to add to your kindles and nooks that you got yesterday! First up, we have book two in Peter Welmerink’s awesome zombie series! Kindle Nook Kobo It’s raining, it’s pouring, the undead are … More SSP Presents: Hunt for the Fallen (Transport Book 2) by Peter Welmerink
I thought I’d include another little bit of Holly and Ivy…this bit is closer to Christmas, and shows how Holly’s luck begins to turn around (as she forgets the other part of the bargain and the price that might be paid). *** Whether it was because of Ivy’s gift or the upturn in my mood, … More Excerpt: Holly and Ivy (a holiday faerie story)
Yeah, sorry. What can I say, I find all sorts of stuff when I’m digging through The Vaults. And since it’s not looking that I’ll have a white Christmas, I’ll just let me grade school past self wax poetic about snow. Jan the snow lady is cold and eats carrots. She is big and … More The Lost Manuscripts: Jan the Snow Lady
Those who know me well enough (or pay attention to my bloggy ramblings) know by now that this time of year is a mixed bag for me. I don’t necessarily like the cynical part of myself or the part that gets beaten down by emotion from time to time, but it exists. Thankfully, the part … More Excerpt: Candles (a holiday zombie story)
More of a casual essay, this piece is also included in Lost in the Shadows. People brushing off art or their own possibility by claiming they’re not creative has always bothered me. I don’t get that thought process – you’re breathing, you’re thinking, you can have ideas. I’ve also never quite got the process of … More Prose: Ideas Abound
The other new Seventh Star Press title is perfect for all the steampunk fans and YA readers out there! Kindle Nook Kobo iBooks Bishop Steel is still missing, so AB’Gale must follow the map continuing the search for her papa.

Up first, a gem of a title for those interested in weird westerns: Kindle Nook Kobo iBooks Aging Confederate war veteran Joel Stuart has faced many adversaries across the long … More SSP Presents: The Black Bible of Juarez (Low-Down, Desperate, & Damned)
Oh, why not? Let’s kick off December with one of my gentler pieces. I love this story – I can identify with both Holly’s cynicism and exhaustion and Ivy’s idealism and naivete a bit. Eventually I may come back to that world, but this story of two unusual friends – one human and one dryad … More WeWriWa: Holly and Ivy
So I do enjoy holiday fiction. I love reading it and I might, just MIGHT have a soft spot for Christmas chick lit and romances (Shut up. It’s December stress). I also love writing holiday fiction. Now, some of this can get…fascinating, especially the pieces that are in Lost in the Shadows. Candles is a story … More Holly and Ivy
