Nothing like the feeling of seeing the book you wrote and made the illustrations for real. In your hand for the first time. This is book 3 in my series, and it launches on Kickstarter tonight 😬

What if the mythic winter hat really had the secret to all growth?

I’ve always loved the old hags in stories, so much in fact, I included the mythic Beara in my upcoming book.

Want to know more about the myths of Beara? 👇🏻

This one is a special treat….id like to say that the Phooka isn’t like this in my book series…but that would be a lie.

If it’s Monday, it’s time for the Phooka’s bad joke..

Totally blew off writing and decided to make this little homage to the Scottish kelpie. If you know, you know.

We had some “conversational snow” so I had to.

If you love wacky, morally grey sidekicks, you’ll love the Phooka in my urban fantasy series. Liïnk in bïo.

Any other slow writers out there feel intense peer pressure to rapid release? I’ve got this author friend who jabs an unintentional stick in my inadequacy daily. She’s completing a book a month. Meanwhile, the last one took 18 months and I’m on my 75th page of brainstorming notes for my next book.

Have the holidays become threadbare and fake? Do you love them or is it a big yawn?

If you’re like me and love a little (okay a LOT) of spooky in your Yuletide, why not take a look at the deep connections between ancient Yule celebrations and Krampus.

Sorry. Not sorry.

I swear it’s a mistake. I’m a good girl I promise 🤞

It came! Oh happy day! My inflatable Krampus arrived just in time for Krampusnacht. Already getting the side-eye (again) from the neighbors.

I love seeing the wicked punished. And I equally adore stories where the hero’s and villains are not who they seem to be. It’s why I love Brom’s Krampus story where Santa is the villain and Krampus the tragic hero.

What if everyone got what they deserved for Christmas 🤔😱

A bullied boy, a shapeshifting Fae, and a Krampusnacht night miracle.

I always like to start the week with an awful joke. You know, get off on the right foot….
December 2, 2024 at 9:07 PM
This one’s for the folks who want to lift a middle finger in salute of sickly sweet holiday capitalism and are exhausted by the whole jingly, glitzy, instagrammable spectacle.

An urban fantasy short story where everyone gets what they deserve for Christmas.

For everyone who struggles with the holidays or who just gets tired of the fakey over sweet commercialized affair.

What are you reading this week?

I’m hoping to wrap up this beautiful book. So far I’d give it 3.68 🌟. Some fantastic world building with a place that’s been destroyed by human greed. Gods remake the world by altering it. Half survive altered and half die.

Fairly good but slow.

Your Monday groaner!

Nuada is a Celtic god, his sidekick the Phooka is a morally grey shapeshifting Fae with a deep love of Cheetos and Dubstep. Both are characters in the Last Battle of Moytura urban fantasy series.

What if everyone got what they deserved this Christmas?

A bullied boy is offered the power to punish—but revenge always comes at a cost.

A haunting tale of loneliness, vengeance, and ancient justice. Will Kaito break the cycle, or become part of it?

I’ll show myself out…

[The Tuatha Nuada searches for a lost heir…and copes with his Fae sidekick’s antics - including the Phooka’s extensive dad joke collection]

Always love reluctant heroes…especially the morally grey ones.

🔥Have you ever faced a moment where you knew there was no going back?🔥

That’s exactly what happened for the Tuatha de Danann when they first landed in Ireland and set their boats aflame. A curious thing to do, right?
