Twelve Days of (Faerie) Christmas is up for pre-order on Amazon and other retailers! With the real cover! When Charlotte meets mysterious Ronan, her comfortable life is upended in a confusion of magic, monsters, and birds. Lots of birds. But Ronan’s increasingly ridiculous gifts are the least of her concerns – the spell connecting them is ticking like a bomb, and time is running out. It’s a clean, standalone fantasy adventure-romance novella/short novel of about 41,000 words. You can pre-order it on Amazon, Smashwords, and Kobo already, and the pre-order should appear on iBooks and B&N Nook very soon. The release […]

Twelve Days of (Faerie) Christmas is up for pre-order! Right now it’s only on pre-order directly from me with the temporary cover, with a release date of February 21. It’s about 40,000 words (long novella length) and is $3.99. If you get this version, you’ll also get the version with the real cover for free! You won’t be charged until the ebook is delivered. About a week after this version goes live, the book will be available on other retailers with the real cover, including Amazon, Barnes and Noble / Nook, Kobo, iBooks, and others. I just saw the preliminary version of the […]
Thank you for voting on the release date of Twelve Days of (Faerie) Christmas! 57% of the votes were for the “as soon as it’s done” option, so I’ll be releasing it sometime in February! I’m going to do something a little different this time, though. As soon as I’m done editing it, I’ll release it with the current (temporary) cover, available only directly from me. When the real cover is ready, I’ll update that listing on Gumroad and everyone who purchased it can get a copy with the updated cover at no additional cost. I’ll release it on other retailers about a […]
I hope your Christmas was wonderful, filled with the love of family and friends and the joy and wonder of Christ’s birth. We had fun with my parents and Skyped my brother and new sister-in-law, whom we haven’t seen in far too long. Twelve Days of (Faerie) Christmas (obviously) wasn’t ready in time for a Christmas release. Partly this was because I needed to tweak a few things and editing always, without fail, takes longer than I expect it will. And partly this was because my fantabulous cover designer was booked up until well past Christmas! So this leaves me with […]

These are some of the standout books that I’ve enjoyed lately. The Magician’s Elephant – Kate DiCamillo – I went on a DiCamillo binge a month or two ago, and have enjoyed every single book. Definitely recommended for adults as well as children. In a highly awaited new novel, Kate DiCamillo conjures a haunting fable about trusting the unexpected — and making the extraordinary come true. What if? Why not? Could it be? When a fortuneteller’s tent appears in the market square of the city of Baltese, orphan Peter Augustus Duchene knows the questions that he needs to ask: Does his sister […]

The authors of Luminous, including yours truly, are celebrating the release of the boxed set with a series of interviews and a giveaway! I’m interviewing Marc Secchia on my blog today. What is noblebright fantasy? Noblebright fantasy is fantasy set apart by a sense of hope. Noblebright fantasy includes at least one character who, although flawed, still deliberately pursues goodness. And that goodness has the power to make a difference. In a noblebright story, even villains are not without hope. Their redemption isn’t guaranteed, of course, but it is a possibility. You can find more detail here on Noblebright.org. Marc Secchia is […]
