I wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year. This year has been a really great one! I published Chasing the Green Fairy, Lady Macbeth: Daughter of Ravens, Midway, and my Christmas short, Chasing Christmas Past! That's a lot of words for this author. Both Lady Macbeth & my steampunk novels take a ton of research, so writing is often slow with those projects. I still wished I wrote FASTER. But, in the end, I have a full-time job, married, and the mom of a 5 & 4 year old. There are only so many hours in the day!

If you are still in the holiday spirit, my Christmas short is still available on Amazon!


What's in store for 2015? Mermaids, Zombies, Witches, & Steampunk!

Ink is my mermaid novella that will release this summer as part of a 12 author collection of Mermaid tales! Loving writing this! Status: 1/4 done.




The Shadow Aspect: The Harvesting Book II! Yes! Finally! If I write nothing else this year, my fans will have the continuation of Layla's tale. Status: 1/3 done.




Chasing the Fog is slated as my summer project! I have the cover ready and it's another beautiful piece of art from Damonza, but you won't get a look quite yet!

Things will get WITCHY around here later this year, but that's all secret for now! For those of you wondering about Lady Macbeth, that project is written but in revision. I hope to get book II out late in 2015!

Personal Resolutions?

Work/Life balance! With all this work to do, and I LOVE writing, it's hard to remember to keep things in balance. This is my number 1 resolution.

Health! As always, health is a must. I turn an unseemly age this year (nope, not telling). It is a milestone year and I seriously need to take better care of my health.

Whatever your goals, I wish you all the best! May the universe give you what's best for you!
