Anyone who knows me well, can testify that I am endlessly amused by the little things in life. I was working on a query for THE 5 6 RULES TO SURVIVING AN ALIEN ATTACK ON MY SIX YEAR OLD SELF (new title is pretty amazing right?!) When I got a text message. "Alejandro" was all … Continue reading Alejandro, Alejandro, Ale-ale-jandro

Sleeping Giants
At the 2016 Emerald City Comicon, I met Sylvain Neuvel. He was so quiet and shy, and cradled in his hands was a copy of Sleeping Giants. I heard about a large number of books that were coming out, or had already come out via the con. I was given an even larger number of … Continue reading Sleeping Giants
A little game of catch up…
While most of you know that I'm a full time writer, many of you don't know that I'm a part time substitute teacher - grades k-12. While I fell into the job, I've always loved teaching; it's been a passion of mine since I was very young. I was in the fifth grade when I … Continue reading A little game of catch up…
Work For Free?
I saw this on Twitter today and felt the need to share it: It's a beautiful response to an advertisement, by an artist, to a company looking for someone to volunteer their time and skills. At the end of the day, I don't know a single artist, writer, creator of any kind who can work … Continue reading Work For Free?
Las Vegas Writer’s Conference 2016
The Cheetos in this hotel don't taste remotely the same as the Cheetos I buy at home. The truth is, I have a soft spot for them, particularly when I'm writing. It's like coffee in the daytime, wine or whisky in the afternoon, and Cheetos. I know how that sounds. Honestly it's not that often … Continue reading Las Vegas Writer’s Conference 2016
Faerwald 2
This morning while punch drunk I had an epiphany for the second book in my trilogy. Of course I'm working on something very different right now, that aside I think I have the entire next book finally worked out. This time travel story blew my mind this morning and I can only hope to do … Continue reading Faerwald 2
Done With School (Again)
This last Sunday was the last day of school for me. Providing I pass this class (while I feel confident in this, I'm still waiting on grades to post), I'll be done with my second Masters Degree!!! It's sort of a crazy thing really. I don't know what the future holds for me right now, … Continue reading Done With School (Again)
Revenge of the Sithster
So I was reading Pat Rothfuss's newest blog entitled Being Evil about his son and the sometimes evil things we say to get a laugh. It was funny and it reminded me of a story from when I was about ten years old. I grew up on a farm where we raised all of our … Continue reading Revenge of the Sithster
Just a Few Observations
I'm going onto day four without a smart phone (or a phone of any kind really) and I've made a few observations. I only have one CD in my car and it's Buffy the Vampire the Musical episode. There has been a lot of James Marsters singing Rest in Peace and Amber Benson's I'm Under Your spell. … Continue reading Just a Few Observations
Phone Thiefs & Fair Food
I went to the local fair over the weekend with my niece and nephew. For the most part everyone, with the exception of myself, had a great time. We saw all of the animals twice, got into a sticker war, and ate copious amounts of fair food. The fair food is where my downfall started. … Continue reading Phone Thiefs & Fair Food
