After a long hiatus, I am back with a short story acceptance! It's been a weird year(s) for writing, and I've definitely gone through phases of mania where I start twelve different projects, quickly followed by depression where I finish none of them. So I'm especially pleased to announce that my slightly Dickensian, ghost doggo, … Continue reading Anthology Announcement
Fifty Book Pick Up: 2020 Edition
In this, the Year of Our Collective Dumpster Fire 2020, I almost did not make it to my goal of 50 books. My reading suffered until late in the year when a new project with a friend gave it a necessary boost. Shameless plug-- if you're on Instagram, check out @Andanotherthingreaders for all your YA … Continue reading Fifty Book Pick Up: 2020 Edition
Moving the Goals Post
I probably ought to have just crossed out the 0 and replaced it with a 1 on my 2020 list of things I wanted to accomplish this past year, because I hit very few of them. I think that's probably true of everyone. I didn't, though. I erased the whole thing and we're going to … Continue reading Moving the Goals Post
Eligibility Post 2020
Actual footage of me trying to write anything this year: Like most of us, I struggled with producing new work this year, and as a result I only have one publication to remind you of in this year end post. (I actually had to google that it did come out this year, because it happened … Continue reading Eligibility Post 2020
M1R (Make One Right): Giftmas Blog Tour
2020, right? Okay, that's done, because it's December, and you've all been here living the same year I have so there's no need to go on about what an off year it is. I've been exceptionally lucky that I haven't suffered in the extreme ways that some other folks have-- my job is "essential" so … Continue reading M1R (Make One Right): Giftmas Blog Tour
Pretty Bookish Things
I don't know about the rest of you, but 2020 has not been a particularly productive year for me. My writing has suffered, my reading has suffered, the only thing that really hasn't is my knitting because for a few months at the beginning of the pandemic that was ALL I had the motivation to … Continue reading Pretty Bookish Things

New Project Announcement! I am thrilled to announce the launch of a new project with a good friend, our Instagram endeavor, And Another Thing Readers: Ashley and Lizz won't stop talking about books. With a focus on YA, especially SF/F, And Another Thing Readers explores and analyzes one book per week with reviews, curriculum and … Continue reading And Another Thing Readers
Swashbuckling Cats, Ahoy!
Tyche Books' anthology, Swashbuckling Cats: Nine Lives on the Seven Seas, is out in the wild today! It is, as you may have guessed, an anthology of short fiction featuring stories about pirate cats. Here's the blurb: If you think cats and water don’t mix, think again. Plunge into worlds of piratical cats: some selfish, … Continue reading Swashbuckling Cats, Ahoy!
Fifty Book Pick Up: 2019 Edition
It's New Year's Eve, which means it's time to make a list of everything I read this year and pick some favorites. I aim for five best books of the year, usually, and every year I fail to limit myself to five. So let's go! In no particular order: (actually that's a lie; the list … Continue reading Fifty Book Pick Up: 2019 Edition
Light a Light: Giftmas Blog Tour 2019
I'm a generally curmudgeonly person during the holiday season. There are approximately three albums of Christmas music that I can tolerate, I am not a fan of surprises, and don't even get me started on tinsel. I think this stems from too many years of traditions that weren't really mine with forced family members who … Continue reading Light a Light: Giftmas Blog Tour 2019
