Now here’s a post I bet you didn’t see coming…. I’m sure most of you probably heard of this going down last week, and admittedly I went back and forth on whether to talk about it here. It got a lot of attention and debate in my social media channels, though, so I can’t help … More E.L. James and the Twitter Q&A: Critique or Bullying?
I’ve been part of some really great genre discussions lately, so I want to make sure to share that for all the writerly types out there. And yes, I apparently do live on Sean Taylor’s blog in my off time. Last week’s roundtable involved Cross Genre writing, and since this is totally my jam, I … More Genre Writing: discussions and articles
It may seem weird suddenly coming out of the gate with this, but I’ve been fascinated by fandom and fanfic for a long time. I have many feelings on it, and those are all things I’ll probably get into later at some point. For now, though, I want to dive in and look at things … More Fanfic Friday: I Suck at Summaries You Guys
One day I hope to be as cool as Sean Taylor. That is the mantra by which I live my life. Seriously, Sean is an awesome guy, a talented writer, and a great friend of mine. I’ve been doing roundtables at his blog for a long time, so it’s finally time to deliver some payback. … More Author Interview: Sean Taylor
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)

Raised as a city girl in a suburb of Indianapolis, Blue must abandon the life she knows when … More TCM Presents: Haunting Blue by RJ Sullivan
I’m really excited to finally (FINALLY) get my bud Michael West on here to talk about writing. Before I ever met him I was orbiting him for years, and I’m pretty sure there was at least one convention where I was too scared to death to talk to him because he was so far … More TCM Presents: Hades’ Disciples by Michael West
I’m always thrilled when I get to participate in different projects with other authors. I’m also always humbled when people approach me. A while ago, the good people at The Realm Beyond sent me a gorgeous image they’d wanted to use for a cover and asked if I’d write a story to go with it. … More Available Now: The Realm Beyond Issue 5
I’m once more trying to get back in the swing of things after a fairly busy past few months. Today’s eight is from a re-release of my historical vampire story, Mooner. This bit is when Bill, the naive upstart in the lumber camp, notices Tom, a reclusive, down-and-out fur-trader, in Red’s Saloon. While Big John … More WeWriWa: Mooner
