I’ve been working on a few projects lately, and that always gets me thinking about the process of writing. I love words and how they fit together, the imagery they conjure, the emotions they evoke. Words are magic…sometimes literally, like in this case. This is another little bit from Lost in the Shadows, a little … More Prose: Obsolete Words
So I know I don’t have to ask if we all like books, right? Of course we do, especially now that it’s getting cold and it’s all fun and cozy to curl up with a good read before bed or during a lazy afternoon (so I’m told. I have no idea what the concept of … More Night Owl Reviews Winter Booklovers Contest!
So I missed a Halloween post, but that doesn’t mean that winter isn’t a fun time for horror – especially zombies. I’m really exited to be part of the Winter of Zombie blog tour, and even more excited to hear all about Shawn Cesser’s latest title. This is definitely one I’ll be checking … More Winter of Zombie Blog Tour 2014: Shawn Cesser
It’s been a while, so I decided to participate in Weekend Writing Warriors this week! This week’s eight comes from the first chapter of Olde School. Ippick, Uljah, and Paddlelump are at lunch at Trip Trap’s Diner, and Uljah and Paddlelump discuss the finer points and frustrations of owning a bridge… The Eight: “Ye get … More WeWriWa: Olde School

Although I write in a lot of different genres, fantasy holds a huge … More Fall Into Fantasy!
One of the things people notice right away about Olde School is that the bulk of the characters are nonhuman. I’ve done panels on writing the “other” recently, and it kind of shocks me that there has to be a “way” to go about writing these characters. I’ve seen probably two distinct uses of nonhuman … More Finding the Familiar in the Other
If there’s something I’ve said over and over (and over and over) while promoting Olde School since it’s release, it’s that I love fairy and folktales. While I’ve probably talked this to death, I do feel like sometimes I have to re-direct what exactly these types of stories mean to me and why I love … More A Fairy Tale Journey
So today begins the next round of blog touring for Olde School! It’s mostly reviews, which means I’ll be walking around all week breathing into a paper bag, but also some Q&A, and I’ll probably do some fun stuff here. After all, I still need to re-cap imaginarium (and I’m sure Clyde wants his say), … More Why Olde School?
I thought I’d kick the month off with something a little different. I was tagged/suggested/dragged into invited to participate in the Meet the Character blog hop. Y’all know how I feel about my characters, so of course I wanted to participate! The ever-talented Sumiko Saulson invited me, and you should really check her and her work … More Paddlelump Stonemonger: Meet the Character Blog Tour
