• Sirens Anthology Release Day

    This is a really cool anthology that I wanted to share with you. I asked Cynthia, one of the contributors and one of the people who came up with the idea of the anthology, to come and talk to you…

  • Link roundup

    I am over the moon to say that Eloisa James likes my books! In an interview, she says so. I’m so very excited!!!! In other news, Path of Fate is on sale this month on Amazon for $1.99. If you…

  • Not entirely a book review, but it is

    I just finished the third book in Lisa Shearin’s SPI files. They are so fun. I read the first one, The Grendel Affair, when it first came out. I bought the second, The Dragon Conspiracy, and then somehow forgot about…
