I’m the one to be truly feared.

[Teaser Tuesday: better late than never, yes?] MASSIVE SPOILERS BELOW! Sorry!! Second books are difficult to tease without spoilers. “These people …” Coda’s fingers are flying over their keyboards again, likely trying to gain access to whatever tech is beyond the passageway. “They care more about your purple eyes than your rank or, like, the […]

The revelation is overwhelming.

Teaser Tuesday: Mirth, Part 2 Mirth and I were forged from the same pocket of the universe. Everything my mother did to protect me, to care for me, steered me toward the destiny unfolding before me. My path tweaked and prodded according to my mother sight just enough for me to be standing here and […]

A form of empathy, she called it.

Teaser Tuesday: Mirth, Part 2 Okay! I’m going to try to revive #TeaserTuesday with a longer excerpt on my blog and a shorter excerpt on my socials. It’s a bit tricky because Mirth, Part 2 is filled with massive spoilers. Side note: I’m also doing #WIPWednesday with Conduit 2 on my socials. 😁 The momentary […]

Conduit Series: Illustration and an excerpt: Rath

I unlock the door as the engines of the vehicles shut off behind me. I don’t have to look back to know that Cayley is climbing out of the car, or that Grinder has returned with Doc Z and Presh’s brother, Rath. Their life force is so robust, I don’t need eyes with which to […]

Conduit Series: Illustration and an excerpt: Rought

The engine hasn’t even died before the driver’s-side door is opening, and a male steps out — dark-blond hair, naturally tanned skin, and shoulders so broad I’m surprised that he slips out of the car so agilely. Though he is clearly a shifter. The moment his booted feet hit the ground and the energy underpinning […]

Conduit Series: Illustration and an excerpt: Presh

“I can’t push you,” I say gently. “Some choices have to be your own. Not everything is determined by fate alone.” Startled, her eyes flick up to meet mine. “Can you get me home?” “I’ll die trying,” I say, aware that I’ve uttered my own destiny — a single, short thread of it, at least […]

Conduit Series: Illustration and an excerpt: Muta

Muta. In his actual form. Although he looks like a snake — a long gold body with dorsal blotches of dark brown that form inverted triangles, ending in a horny spined tail — Muta is actually an aspect of the divine who was trapped in the body of a snake. As a punishment, perhaps. At […]

Conduit Series: Illustration and an excerpt: The Gage Estate

Instead of unlatching the gate, I climb it. The fencing is about six feet high on this edge of the property. Grasslands allowed to go wild stretch from here up to the house, which is set back from the bluff. A long, sandy beach stretches out as far as the eye can see — with […]

Dowser 9: excerpt: chocolate and misfits

Mory jogged back into the room, sliding through the doorway and past Rochelle on the hardwood floor in her hand-knit striped socks. “I almost forgot,” she cried, thrusting her hand toward me. She was holding a chocolate bar. A dark-chocolate bar with pistachios and dried cranberries, to be exact. From the ever-delectable, soul-fueling Chocolate Arts, […]
