It’s a very blustery day and leaves are blowing everywhere. Fuzzy socks complete the late autumn vibe.

After yesterday's cover reveal, I wanted to share one of the aesthetics for HEIR OF THE OTHERWORLD. Lots of Ireland (including a bog body - his ghost end up being my main character's sidekick), my badass protagonist, a magical harp, and a stunning Faerie queen. #booktok #comingsoon #yafantasy

Making what is likely my final trip to my hometown for quite awhile. My visits might be few and far between from this point, but New Mexico will always be in my blood.

I love a good, snarky ghost. In my upcoming fantasy novel, HEIR OF THE OTHERWORLD, my main character, Rosaleen, teams up with the ghost of a centuries-old Irish bard and together they have one hell of an adventure. Here's a snippet from their first meeting.

I've got some bad news. I won't be at the author event at Lititz Library. I recently lost my father, and we had to delay the funeral for traveling relatives, so I'll still be out of state on Nov 1st. It's a great event, and I hate to miss it, but family comes first.

Yesterday was pass pages for LEE & ME & A CHRISTMAS TREE and today I’m working proofreading edits for HEIR OF THE UNDERWORLD. Writing is a never-ending game of book juggling.
