Jezelle: Thief of Forks Book Trailer

Just a quick mid-week post. The weather has been horrendous here in the Boston area, but it gave me a little extra time (two extra work-from-home days while we dig out), so I threw together a book trailer for Jezelle: Thief of Forks. I think it does a good job of capturing the book’s mood…

Here we go again! Another book shields the light from its eyes as it steps from the shadows of my mind into the world. The ebook for Jezelle: Thief of Forks is now available for pre-order. It will release on April 4, 2026. This will be my tenth published work. I’m also taking this time…

New project, The Last Knight of Norn

I’ve been working on a new tale set in Lucardia that isn’t directly connected to my other plotlines. Something completely stand-alone. Below is a rough draft of the first chapter.

I swam the market until I hit a rock

I’ve decided to stop my query process for Jezelle: Thief of Forks and switch gears to self-publishing the book. On the surface, that may look like defeat—another swing at traditional publishing and missing—but that’s not what this is. This is me looking directly at how this business actually works, looking at how far Jezelle swam…

A return to why I write

I believe in circles—in fact, I’m a bit obsessed. The Oroborus is Emperor Vesper’s heraldry for a reason. I’ve been writing a lot of posts about my quest to define my writing world, and I apologize for bringing you along on this iteration, but perhaps it is helpful. I’ve touched on everything below in the…

Confession of a Milennial writer

As many of you know, I stepped back from blogging to focus on my fiction. It has given me time to rethink and reevaluate. I’ve been doing a lot of soul searching, holding up the mirror and seeing what I see. I’m coming up on the sixth year of this journey. In my last post,…

2025, a year in review

It’s that time of the year again to look back and see how far I’ve come. It’s not really what I want to do right now, as I have quite the sinus infection- not the ideal way to bring in the New Year. Really, I want to wrap in a warm blanket and stare at…
