So I woke up to the news that Helsinki won the 2017 Worldcon bid (It hasn’t been officially confirmed yet, but they had over 50 % of the votes). Woot! I will be definitely be attending. The collection and the novella has titles that I love and that fit them really well. I am going […]
So. Awhile ago, the news broke that a romance between a Nazi and a female jewish prisoner had finaled in the RITAs. I hadn’t planned on writing anything, but then yesterday Bethany House posted a non apology. And well, I changed my mind. I don’t speak about my family history online, but this time I will. […]
It is my birthday soon. And I am being asked by my family what gifts I want to have. And I don’t know. Mostly because what I want are things that my family cannot give to me. I want my contract to be renewed, my books to sell, the draft to be done, the new […]
I am busy editing Daughter of the Dark, but here is a short snippet from The Cauldron Bound. Aodh stared at the grass-covered earthen wall as high as three men that was blocking the path. Why didn’t the warriors we met tell us about the wall? echoed in his mind. Maybe the warriors didn’t know […]

I have been frustrated about my lack of sales, despite dropping the price .So I have spent the morning tweaking my keywords. Why? Because while cover and blurb makes a reader click on the buy button keywords tells them that your books exist. Before I tweaked them they were something like this: military fantasy adventure, […]
Tomorrow is July 31st, which means that the sales are ending ( for now. There are another sale/ promo push coming around my birthday). Please buy a copy of The Cauldron Bound at either Kobo or Kindle, if you haven’t already. I have tweaked the blurb, too: Worn down by centuries of war, all Aodh […]
