“I found another dead teen,” Jasmine said, dragging her bag out through the international arrivals area at Vancouver International Airport. She was wearing a heathered brown merino-wool cardigan that fell around her knees, over a long-sleeved black V-neck T-shirt and skinny-legged black jeans. Her brown leather boots almost perfectly matched the laptop satchel slung across […]
I’m officially ‘releasing’ a rebranded version of one of my very first novels – the standalone fantasy, Spirit Binder – and launching it along with a week long $0.99 sale, starting today. For this rebranding, Elizabeth Mackey worked her magic on the cover, Pauline did a freshening proofreading pass, and I prettied up the interior with Vellum. The […]

I See Me (Oracle 1) received a great Kirkus Review today. So of course, I had to share. In this first book of the Oracle fantasy series, a young woman ages out of a foster-care system only to learn she’s a being of great magical potential. An orphan from birth, Rochelle Saintpaul has just turned 19. […]
Reconstructionist 1.5 will be available exclusively to readers who preorder Reconstructionist 2 in the Spring of 2017. Then available widely in the Fall of 2017. The first book in the series, Catching Echoes, is now available.
Randomly on a Friday … It’s been a tough week.
