Amplifier Series: Emma and Aiden’s first ‘kiss’

I naturally and continually dampened my magic, of course. But a sorcerer of his power level would be able to trace any residual, even subconsciously. He could have followed the path I’d inadvertently laid along the roads I walked every few days in my almost obsessive need to create habitual routines. Lani was going to […]

Conduit 2: “I exist in the now.”

Okay! I feel like holing up for the rest of the week (and as much of next week as I can manage) and just writing, writing, writing, so here is the promised excerpt slightly early today. If you missed it, here is: Snag (Conduit 2), Chapter 1, Part 1 This excerpt is from the second […]

Conduit 2: “You saw me die.”

First, let’s all pretend I know what day of the week it is and I didn’t miss posting this excerpt yesterday. All right? 😂 Second, every excerpt I post from here onward is rife with spoilers. All of the Conduit books pick up from where the last one ended. Like … without more than a […]

Daily exercise, reading Awry, and other brief reflections on May 1, 2025

I’ve done a terrible thing. Or perhaps just stupid? I took my measurements to help (?) me with my movement goal. I’ve always loathed stepping on a scale, but with how my brain works – the constant need to achieve, achieve, achieve (aka work, work, work to the detriment of my health) – I think […]

Conduit 2: keeping us apart

Just a little teaser that snagged my attention while writing today. As always, these are the first words on the page and subject to a lot of tweaking over the next four drafts. Content of note: mildly explicit language Because I need the conversation to move much, much quicker, I offer a truth of my […]

Conduit 2: You like to watch, don’t you?

Just a little teaser that amused me while writing it today – with a few redacted lines because, you know, spoilers! As always, these are the first words on the page and subject to a lot of tweaking over the next four drafts. Content of note: mildly explicit language Rought’s phone vibrates with an incoming […]

Little Pleasures personal reflection

The day after a new release, part 32

I released my thirty-second novel yesterday, not including at least another dozen shorts, novelettes, etc. That number is staggering. And, honestly, I’m not surprised that I’m just a little tired. 😜 Grand Romantic Delusions and the Madness of Mirth (Part One & Part Two) was supposed to be a single offshoot book in my new […]

Mirth Duology: paperback wraps

A lovely reader mentioned that though she is an eBook reader (like me!) she likes to make mini ‘trophy’ books with the full wrap book covers, which made me realize that I never actually share mine (😭), so I will make an effort to do so on the book detail pages moving forward. [Please remind […]

Mirth, Part 2: Chapter 1, Part 1

By reader request (😘) I’ve made Mirth, Part 2 available for preorder direct from me. Because I haven’t spent the time to figure out how to charge in multiple currencies (yet), the book is more expensive for my fellow Canadians (sorry!), as well as Austrailians and New Zealanders. For US and UK-based readers depending on […]
