Sleep now, baby, it will be all right.ÌýQuiet now, baby, drift over calm seas.ÌýDon't cry, baby, you are never alone.ÌýWhisper hope into the sweet, dark night,Sing out in love to the stars so bright,Dream of beauty and dream of light.ÌýFly away, fear, and leave him to sleep.ÌýFly away, sorrow, and no longer weep.ÌýSleep now, baby, and drift off to peace.

We have a growth of weeds and grasses in front of our basement window. It is unsightly and facing the road, but I'm not inclined to pull it up. You see, that pile of weeds has been utilized as a rabbit nest for the last couple of years. A few nights ago, the kids and cats got to watch a palm-sized baby bunny the nest, possibly for the first time. It was maybe eighteen inches away, and safe from the curious eyes and grabbing paws. This is the third baby bunny I've seen outside my window in as...

There is so much going on right now! I have a giveaway contest going on Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ, I just today approved the of Shadows of Absolution (it was already available in ), and my muse is running wild through the first book of the EmergenceÌýtrilogy! I've been playing around on Pinterest lately, so if you're interested in seeing some of my characters as I see them, check out my board.

So, while you're busy reading Shadows of Absolution, would you like to know what comes nex...

I love my readers. They took a chance on a total unknown who was busy flicking ashes at the perimeter of her genre, and then came back for more. Indie readers are enthusiastic and supportive, but sometimes indie authors need just a little bit more help to succeed. There are many ways to support indie authors, and most of them are free and only require a click or two. Here are twenty of them, in no particular order.
1. Tag our books on Amazon. This helps us climb in rankings when someone search...

MyÌýadventurousÌýbaby has left home to see what she can accomplish on her own. I'm going to miss her, but now I get to focus my attention on her younger brother. I'm a little frightened of this young woman, but I have a feeling greatness is lurking under her unassuming surface. She's only in right now, but she'll be buying a new outfit in the next week or two so she can go out as a paperback, as well. She's not much for parties, but she does make a great bodyguard and she can t...

The wolves were always hungry.

Nearly four years ago, I wrote the first words of Shadows of Absolution, a post-apocalyptic fantasy adventure love story set sixty years after the fall of Malora. I had the vague idea of an adventure and a nameless narrator who was destined to be guided across the world the Aulor Bethel. I knew who she was, the great-granddaughter of Ganebra's former Chancellor and member of a quickly evolving race, but it took me a couple of days to find a name for her. She was...

I received my first proof of Shadows of Absolution a few minutes ago. The cover was mostly a placeholder so I could get it before I left for vacation and I need to rework it because it printed way too dark (it's darker in person than it is on the pictures below). I'll be working on it over the next week while the remainder of my beta readers finish up.


And, while you're waiting, here's an excerpt from Shadows of Absolution.
