This must be the week of SJ announcements. Hee. So I was holding off until I have a proper graphic/blurb, but I can’t wait. I’m going to have a holiday-themed fantasy December release with Mocha Memoirs press! These are some great ladies, and I’m so thrilled to be working with them! The story itself is … More Mocha Memoirs Press
Oh, school. How I do not miss you. Don’t get me wrong, there were things I liked about it, but it took me a long time to realize that I liked school because I thought I was supposed to. It didn’t mean I actually did. I was just too much of a goody goody at … More NBP Back to School Blog Hop!
I have no idea when I wrote this, but my guess is probably around third or fourth grade. I’ll have to get my scanner working because some of these have illustrations that are just priceless.

Yet there’s something else that fueled that story, or rather something that I discovered part way into the piece. In … More Fantasy, Rock n’ Roll, and…Getting Spiritual?

I think we all have one particular influence that burns into our lives and helps us realize what all is possible. For me, that person is David Bowie. I realize that he’s that way for … More Music Monday: And Along Came Bowie
So yeah, I do like trashy rock folklore. I also plain like rock (especially classic rock and eighties metal). So I suppose this begs a few questions, mainly… How does a fairly straight-laced, small-town chick with a classical music background end up getting into something so different? And what’s it like to write something so … More On loving rock and writing trashy
