It was a sweltering 87 degrees here in Seattle yesterday. We tied with Phoenix for the hottest city. Very few of us have air conditioning, since it rarely gets that hot, but we have abundant cool forests and a few sparkling beaches from which we can dip our toes into the frigid Puget Sound. It’s the perfect weather for a cool drink and a hot book, and–lucky you!–today HEARTS OF SHADOW (Deadglass #2) releases into the wild.
INTERVIEW! With me! At the Book Tart! Today! Book giveaway!
Why is this book going to knock your socks off?

Less than two weeks before Hearts of Shadow (Deadglass #2) arrives on bookstore shelves! The audiobook was narrated by Xe Sands, who did a fabulous job on the novella and book #1. It releases in May from Blackstone Audio, but seems to have no cover as of yet. Xe Sands has shared a sneak listen from Hearts of Shadow and it sounds GREAT! I couldn’t be happier. I’m trying to copy how she says aptrgangr, just in case I ever have to say it out loud.

A month ago I gave birth to a beautiful, healthy baby boy! He is a tiny munchkin, but is growing fast. I haven’t been online much in the past month because we’ve been doing the desperate “sleep, baby, sleep!” routine. Tiny baby, giant lungs. It’s amazing he hasn’t woken up his big sister in the middle of the night yet. She is still enjoying being a big sister and loves to give the baby kisses. She calls him, “our baby.” It’s pretty cute.

To celebrate, I’m giving away five more Hearts of Shadow ARCs on Goodreads. You have one month… Read more »

Dragons: fierce, evil creatures or benevolent, lucky beasts? It differs from culture to culture, but one thing is for sure–dragons have captured the imagination of humans for millennia. Welcome to the Year of the Dragon. Today starts off the Chinese New Year with fifteen days of celebration to ensure this is a year of good luck. The dragon is one of 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac. It’s considered the luckiest and is the only one that is, according to wikipedia, legendary.
But maybe that’s just what dragons want you to think. After all, mythology from all parts of the… Read more »

I did it. I finished my second novel, book 2 of the Deadglass Trilogy. I love these characters and this world, but can I say that 11 months is too long to spend working on a single book? These last two months have been great in forcing me to make dedicated time to write; there is nothing like a deadline to get the creative juices flowing. For my next book, the 3rd and final novel of the Deadglass Trilogy, I plan to spend the first month PLOTTING, the next three months writing, and an easy two final months editing. I’ve… Read more »
