Living On Island Time

Life doesn’t always go as planned. And, sometimes, it REALLY doesn’t go as planned and you’re left juggling three emergencies and Huns at the north gate. That happened to me in June 2023. My middle sister had just had a baby, my youngest sister wanted to see the baby and…

Happy Release Day To THE PRICE OF THE MOUNTAIN LILY

Today’s the day! THE PRICE OF THE MOUNTAIN LILY is out and available anywhere books are sold! This is a sweet romance novella set against the backdrop of interstellar trade, ancient marriage traditions, and the weight of familial expectations. What do you do when no one else can see your…

Life After Twitter

I miss TweetDeck. I’m not even going to pretend I don’t. I spent literal years of my life learning that system, curating my space, and creating a place on the internet that allowed me to get the information I wanted while also reaching my fan base (love you all!). I’m…

I Always Wanted To Be A World Traveler… but maybe not like this

I always wanted to be a world traveler. I grew up on stories of travel, far away countries, and in a multilingual family of immigrants. It always sounded so fun and exotic. As a kid I never thought about how my grandparents felt leaving the only culture they knew, and…

PRICE OF THE MOUNTAIN LILY is coming soon!

Several years ago, on an absolute whim, I started scribbling down a dual-POV story that had a romance, but not a romance between the POV characters. It was an odd duck. I was writing it for fun – and for a scene that I could not get out of my…

A Year Of Doing Less – Welcome to 2024

Happy New Year! 2024 has tiptoed into my life on silent cat paws of fog. It’s 8am and I’m slowly enjoying my breakfast as I sit down to write and make my Monday to-do list. I’m grateful that this is happening in a hushed house where most of the family…

Taking A Break

Life is funny. As a child, Australia was a far-away fairyland that seemed as reachable as Narnia or Middle-Earth. AND NOW I’M HERE!!! Way, way back in 2006-ish I was on the online writing group called Critique Circle and met an Aussie author named Amy Laurens. She was finishing college,…

Happy Release Day To ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS A GARGOYLE!!!

The cover of ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS A GARGOYLE next to frozen red berries.

It’s here! It’s finally here! ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS A GARGOYLE is finally here for you to read! When I first started the All I Want For Christmas series I did not plan on setting anything in Korea. I think I originally pitched this book to my editor…

Let’s Talk About Gargoyles – Jangseung and Village Guardians

If you are from North America, especially the Pacific Northwest, you are familiar with totem poles. They are tall poles or pillars (usually wooden) that are carved by Indigenous and First Nations peoples as a form of storytelling. They recount legends, family histories, or other important things the carvers wanted…

Let’s Talk About Garg- checks notes Korea!

This was too fun to pass up. I’ve been traveling a lot this week, driving all up and down the west coast, and this makes me giggle every time I see it. Big trucks around Korea often have eyes on the back. Sometimes they’re angry eyes, sometimes they’re silly cartoon…
