I’m working through the editor’s line edit on Idol and Enemies (Amplifier 4) and since I’m refining the text, etc, I thought it would be fun to share a short snippet. When I asked for requests over on Facebook and Twitter, the overwhelming majority voted for more Paisley content. So here you go! Warning: it’s […]

BTW, for authors and/or artists, Gene Mollica Studios has just launched a […]

Me. Today so far …
Honestly, some days I’m not sure I should be in charge of my own schedule. For example, this is me today so far: The plan: Add at least 2k to Misfits 2 before lunch, then chat with my mentee about branding, etc, in the afternoon. The reality: Oh, wait! I need to set The Amplifier […]

Misfits 2: A tiny bite.
So … I’m supposed to be writing Amplifier 5. Instead, needing to work on something playful (with a whole lot of bite) and distracting, I wrote the opening scene for Misfits of the Adept Universe – book 2. No release date yet, but I’ll probably keep working on it for the next while. I tugged […]
I’m sharing this recipe because I took the time to write it out and have gotten multiple requests. But, again, I’ve only made this a few times (with blueberries, tayberries, and strawberries) and it’s not connected to my actual work (I should be writing right now) so I cannot put extra time and energy into […]
In between writing (apparently, I’m randomly working on an Opal short story that falls after Amplifier 4) I’ve been thinking about branding because it’s a topic I’m discussing with my SFWA mentee, Natasha. We’ve been chatting about book covers and finding something simple but evocative to convey the genre and tone of your story in […]

Dairy-free Chocolate Ice Cream
I’ve been testing dairy and sugar-free ice creams and sherbets for the last few weeks for a combination of reasons (see my Instagram feed for more photos, etc). I’m sharing this recipe AS IS because a lovely filmmaker friend of mine asked for it and she did me so many favours in my past life […]
