I just remembered that a reader asked me (weeks ago) to post the playlist I listen to when brainstorming books/scenes/ideas for the Archivist series (see Awakening Infinity, etc). I finally grabbed a screenshot. My apologies for the delay. Please note: I make separate playlists for all my series. But not all the songs are meant […]

A little snippet of Archivist 2 (title TBA) to get all of us through the weekend. “There is comfort in believing that there is one person who is perfect for you,” Prince murmured in that oddly intimate tone. “… a fated mate.” “Is there? What if you never find them?” “But fate is destined to […]

Update: Monday, July 19, 2021
I’m all geared up to work full time, hopefully with no other distractions, on the second book in the Archivist series for the entire week. Though I’m slightly apprehensive about my second Covid19 shot on Wednesday. The first shot pushed my Chronic Daily Headache into (at least) six weeks of ramped up pain during which […]

Book Bonanza Raffle 2021
I’m donating an ‘Adept Universe Swag Box’ to the 2021 Book Bonanza Raffle. The prizes are insane! And all the $$ goes to charity. If I understand it correctly, you buy raffle tickets for certain items to enter to win that particular item. And yeah, I’m about to drop some serious cash myself … ADEPT […]

The state of my desk, July 2021 edition
Treadmill desk, Archivist 0 uploaded on iPad, updated desktop picture, napping Persian cat, and hot chocolate – check! Commencing reread in 3 … 2 … 1 … I don’t normally reread my books after they’ve been published … almost never. But I’m (hopefully) coming out from under the oppressive headache that set in after my […]

A quick update and Burgundy snippet.
I keep getting asked about … well, every novel (from every series) that random readers seem to want (which is lovely, but seriously impossible). Short answer? Yes, the Dowser, Oracle, and Reconstructionist are all complete series. Archivist 2, Amplifier 5, Misfits 2, and numerous Moments of Adept shorts are in the works, to be released […]
“This … ah, is this a waltz?” I asked awkwardly. “Your guess is as good as mine,” he said. “I’m just trying to follow the tempo.” I laughed, oddly relieved that I wasn’t the only ignorant one. Kellan pulled me a touch closer. I didn’t resist. If I turned my head slightly, I’d be able […]

The day after a release, part 26
Twenty-six – 26! – twenty-six full-length books – written, rewritten (3-5x), story edited, line/content edited, proofed, and beta read …that is crazy! [Am I going to say that every time? Probably, yes.] Invoking Infinity (Archivist 1) had an exceedingly successful release day yesterday, ranking just ever so slightly below my two most successful releases (both […]
I came upon this scene while putting together Bixi’s biography and it made me laugh. Flashback to Shadows, Maps, and Other Ancient Magic (Dowser 4)!! Click here for the reading order of the Adept Universe. Bixi most recently appears in Awakening Infinity (Archivist 0). “Earthly delights.” *side eyes Warner* LOL!!! A jet-black cat sauntered through […]
The second of the illustrations I’ve commissioned from Nicole Deal for the Archivist series is a bit of a spoiler, so I thought I might as well include an excerpt from the first time Dusk lays eyes on Kellan as well (see below). Working with Nicole has been amazing. I love, love her take on characters that […]
