An update about my writing projects, my reader community, and other happenings in the last little while.

In the eighth installment of the Rise of the Grigori Beneath the Surface blog series, veteran selvedge expert Nicandra kor’Nyx gives us a guided tour of Sirenia. Ready for some photography eye candy (and a little behind-the-scenes intrigue)? Read on!

In Part Seven of the Rise of the Grigori Beneath-the-Surface series I’ve got my most favourite author interview I’ve ever done in my life. Mary from Kit’n’Kabookle came up with some seriously fun questions—including a behind-the-scenes moment from Calandra’s past that’s not in the series itself.

Read on for a real treat!

The reason the first book in the Rise of the Grigori series came to be called The Undine’s Tear, the significance of the stones on all my covers, and more. Includes new insights into the covers and crystals on them.

In Part Five of my Rise of the Grigori Beneath-the-Surface series, I talk about some of the seed ideas the grew into a full-blown fantasy world full of mermaids, crystal technology, and more. (Hint: Breathing stones aren’t so far-fetched after all.)

In Part Four of the Rise of the Grigori Beneath-the-Surface series, Narcissa kor’Adonia, Opal Princess of the undine Island of Sirenia tells us what her cousin Calandra is really like…

In Part Three of the Rise of the Grigori Beneath-the-Surface series, I’m posting an author interview that’s mostly about me, not so much the series… but the series does get top billing.

In the Rise of the Grigori Behind-the-Scenes Tour part 2, I dive into how I came up with the idea for the world that became my epic young adult mermaid fantasy series.

The first of a series of behind-the-scenes posts for the Rise of the Grigori series. First up: What’s the series about?

Grief isn’t done with me yet. Not sure it ever will be. Especially if I don’t learn to be still a little more often.

News about the upcoming blog tour for The Undine’s Tear (with prizes!), and an update on my current work in progress, Every Star that Shines.

I’ve wrapped up The Sphinx’s Heart and all my other projects due before the end of the year, and I’m not quite sure how to cope with the lack of stress. Oh, wait. Now I have to deal with other stress. And that’s life.

Quick update on The Sphinx’s Heart revisions.

It’s hot! And an update on progress for The Sphinx’s Heart.

A behind-the-scenes post with a quote from my new book, plus how I came up with the attributes of the cherubim in Rise of the Grigori.
