We all know I love speculative fiction. Fantasy of all sorts, Sci-Fi, Horror…I love it all! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, though: I adore children’s literature. I have so many pleasant memories of books from my childhood, and I still have been known to stop and flip through younger … More Available Now: Stories for Children Magazine
This week’s six comes from the novel’s second half, where Jeremiah Kensington’s nightmare world and horrific reality collide and take turns taunting him. The Six: What the hell? He held his breath as he continued his inspection. Beeping machines and fussy monitors loomed in his peripheral vision. Tubes and wires snaked and wound out of … More Six Sentence Sunday: In the Red (Disc 2)
Today’s 12 Sentence Saturday comes from the second half of In the Red, where Jeremiah is continuously plunged into nightmares, though his reality isn’t much better. The Twelve: The lazy street stretched on to the horizon. The tiny cracks that shouldn’t have mattered became gaping chasms that spit toxic flames and smoke up at him. … More 12 Sentence Saturday: In the Red (Disc 2)
It’s fairly obvious that my love of fantasy and my love of music really fuel In the Red. That comes across pretty blatantly, and I probably don’t even have to say that’s the case anymore. 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?
What can I say, I have a lot of love to give to this book. This week’s six comes from where we first get to see the alter-ego of Jeremiah Kensington (J.K. Asmodeus), in action on stage. The Six: One red foot swung up and knocked the guitarist in the back of the leg, sending … More Six Sentence Sunday: In the Red (yet more)

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
No, I don’t mean the showtime series. Today I’m thinking about one of my influences for In the Red. I’ve loved fairy tales since I was a little girl. I was immersed in all sorts of versions from a very young age. While I tend to lean towards Grimm, Eastern European, and Russian tales, I’ve also … More Before Red Boots there were Red Shoes
Time for another Six Sentence Sunday! And it’s a special Sunday, because it’s also my birthday! (I shall accept any tribute or gratuitous praise throughout the day…) Anyway, this week’s six again comes from my just-released first novel, In the Red! This happens at the very beginning of the book, when the protagonist Jeremiah Kensington … More Six Sentence Sunday: In the Red (more)
So apparently I was a week early with 12 Sentence Saturday…(eh, at the very least I’m dedicated. And an overachiever.) So this week I would also like to do twelve sentences from In the Red, but I suppose to be fair they should be a different 12. So let’s see… This bit happens at the … More 12 Sentence Saturday (for real): In the Red
