Ebook and paperback preorders are available for my Les Misérables retelling, Crack the Stone, and I’m sending these gifts as thanks!

Here it is—the bold and beautiful new cover for Crack the Stone!

One more day and I’ll finally be able to reveal Crack the Stone’s beautiful new cover. Check back tomorrow!

Introducing A Classic Retold: 9 authors, 9 fantasy retellings of classic literature. (And I’m one of those nine!)

The new Vindor novel will be Crack the Stone, a fantasy retelling of Victor Hugo’s beloved Les Misérables.

Here’s the Big Announcement, friends: you can return to the World of Vindor on September 15 with an ALL-NEW NOVEL!

In a recent guest post, I waxed eloquent (ahem, fangirled) about some of the most beautiful fantasy I’ve ever read. Bonus: they’re all clean books, too.

I worked hard on this odd fairy chapter in Escape to Vindor, but in the end had to cut it. I’m releasing it here for readers to enjoy for the first time.

New projects, updates on books, and why the blog is so quiet

MAP MAP MAP MAP!!!

Can you tell I’m excited? It’s taken a while to create, but the official map of Vindor is now completed.

The Vindor sequel will be released this coming Monday! For those of you who would like a sneak peak, here’s the opening to Mists of Paracosmia.

Return to the land of Vindor and explore new nations, meet new allies, and face new perils in the sequel to Escape to Vindor.

That’s right: readers can return to Vindor on April 29, 2019! Here’s what to look forward to in Mists of Paracosmia.

If you’re an aspiring science fiction or fantasy writer, you want to create something fresh and different for your audience. But the fact is many of our ideas (as well as our writing style) have their roots somewhere else.

I take a deep dive (sorry, couldn’t resist) into the three merfolk nations of Vindor.

Let’s say you’ve got a great idea for a novel, a memoir, a biography, etc. but you’ve got little to no writing experience. Where do you even begin?

You’re supposed to write dialogue the way people speak—but what about when you’re writing about people in a different time period, world, or even planet?
