Katya:

He had been her only friend for as long as she could remember. Ivan had been the one to bestow upon her a name: Katya. She did not know if she have a mother or not, she knew that she should have one, but she sometimes felt, even now, as though he willed her into existence, the lonely mage needing a companion. He had been her best friend. He found her wandering the woods that he’d made...

I was incredibly excited when I heard about "The Seafarer's Kiss" by Julia Embers - it seemed like everything I love. It was a fairy tale retelling. It was told from the point of view of the traditional villain in that tale, and it was going to be queer and it was going to have a character that uses they/them pronouns...

Survival Rout is a story with a diverse cast of characters, who must find a way to work together to escape their faery captors. The point of view switches between Aniyah and Keoki. Aniyah is captured and placed with a group of other young people, mostly people their captors assume to be women. Keoki is placed with a group of young people their captors assume to be men. Aniyah and her new friends...

I adopted a snake recently! Her name is Melusina, she was hatched in July 2016 and she is a yellow belly ball python. "Yellow belly" is her "morph" - what snake breeders use to describe patterns / markings / genetics. There's a whole system of dominate / co-dominate / recessive traits breeding that goes on to make some really awesome looking snakes. "Ball python" is the type of snake she is. Ball...

It's here! The cover for The Resignation Letter !

Isn't it gorgeous? Louisa of Juneberry Designs did a fabulous job getting the look and feel of the characters, and setting up the world, too. Seriously, you should chat with Louisa if you need a cool cover for your books! Having a cover makes it feel much more exciting as the release date draws near! Today for a brief moment the book was in the...

Big news! I am publishing a short story as a Kindle Select ebook! It is titled The Resignation Letter, a fantasy story about class, war, love, magic, and tough choices. You can add it to your TBR on goodreads. I've been working on this short story for awhile, and would like to thank Kat Howard for her editing on some of my initial drafts, and Louisa of Juneberry Designs for the fantastic cover....

I was incredibly excited about this book, I pre-ordered it back in May, and have tried to pre-order it at least a dozen times since then.

I was super excited for the Princess Romance, and on that front, I don't think I was disappointed. However, I feel that the world building was lacking, and there could have been so much more of it done. From the first time the Six were explained, I was like ...

This short story is available for free on Beneath the Ceaseless Sky's website. You can also pay for it on Amazon so you can read it on your Kindle. I did the latter because 1.) It's so good you should support it financially and 2.) I prefer e-ink to backlit screens.

"The Insurrectionist and the Empress Who Reigns Over Time" was written specifically to show you can have bad things happen to people...

I received an ARC copy of 'Witches and Wolves' from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

'Witches and Wolves' was a fun novella about learning to be yourself and falling in love. The story focuses on Tory, a witch who lives in the wood to get away from the city life; Tory's ex-boyfriend, a werewolf who also enjoys the seclusion of the woods; and Gee, a young woman who is new to being a werewolf...

I received a free copy of "Witch, Cat, and Cobb" from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Witch, Cat, and Cob is set in a fantasy world of elves and kingdoms which seems rather ordinarily heterosexual, with marriages of that type being the norm, but there is mention of the occasional marriage between people of the same sex. The story starts off with a Princess very determined to not end...
