It’s not going away. I mean, it never does, but the medicine is at least supposed to leave me able to function. But it keeps creeping back. Like a multi-tentacled monster it grabs ahold of my body and refuses to release it. It is agony just to sit. To sit! It leaves me shaking and […]

Ghosts of Lovers Past
I know I usually write light-hearted or darkly humorous posts but this one is more about letting some emotions go. Perhaps part of my even more frenetic pacing for writing and typing up my stories recently is the fact that so many people I loved have died in the past few years. This year […]
Integrated Living Part Five: How Kids’ Shows Made Me a Better Person
Until I started watching shows like Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, Signing Time, Sesame Street, and others, I struggled with being a parent. I grew up in a household where yelling and spanking were the norm. It was a punishment-as-discipline mindset. Add that to my general invisibility as a middle child and weirdo and suffering other […]
Absent Opportunities
I do still plan to publish the next The Black Tree book. I’m also nearly done writing a book about Queen Aeryn’s grandparents. You’ll even get to learn why Jeffery and Mark never mentioned them. The Cuil Multiverse is ever growing and the story of Lilith is nearly fully formed in my head already. Eventually, […]
Checking In and Planning Ahead
It has been a busy few weeks! I have started a new job, which is awesome. And as I’ve been healing my mind feels more like my own. I can actually translate my words into ink once more. I’ve been writing and brainstorming and have so many wonderful ideas about how my stories connect with […]
When Your Health Fails
I’m kind of drifting through right now. I can only focus on getting as much work done as possible because the monster is moving through my family still. There is still so much to experience, to say, to enjoy. I hope the cancer dies in them. I hope this thing in me does not become […]
Five Books and Characters
I now have five books published! Whew, it’s a lot of work but it’s so amazing. The BTS universe is spinning around in my head. My focus is solely on completing publication. It moves my stories further from me but it will also represent my victory over my past. I include some fairly personal information […]
Update On My Writing
Wow. Alright, I have been working furiously the past few days assembling a list of all of my interconnected stories. It is not a list of every story I have written or will write. It just includes all of the books and series that fit together. It is amazing, and I hope it helps the […]
Busy Days
I apologize for my extended absence. I’ve been doing a lot of research and working on my stories. I am doing a lot of publishing this year so I have a lot of work to do! I will probably post on this blog around one a week for a while. I have a lot of […]
Writing Saved My Life
My stories are…unique. They read like dreams and cover vastly divergent topics. Yet somehow, there are strong core threads that link many of them together, weaving one through another like twining branches on the tree of my artistic ability. The first series I ever wrote is called The Black Tree and it has become a […]
