While cleaning old files off of my computer recently, I stumbled across several short stories. I wrote them a number of years ago, but I have never shared them. Since the Georgia Renaissance Festival begins this weekend, here is “The Homecoming,” a romantic fantasy set at a Renaissance Festival. Just click the link below to read …
I have a lot of friends who are heading to London in the near future, most of whom are attending Star Wars Celebration Europe, so I thought I’d chime in with some of my favorite spots in my favorite big city. I think London is best enjoyed when you get away from the ultra-touristy spots, …
I’m excited to announce that my most recent novel, “A Talent for Death,” debuted today. It’s always a little nerve-wracking to put my work out there for the world to see, but it’s exciting and gratifying at the same time. “A Talent for Death” is a young adult contemporary fantasy, and the amazingly talented Shalis …
I’m very excited to reveal the cover of my forthcoming young adult fantasy, A Talent for Death! Shalis Stevens did an incredible job drawing a cover to match the description of a Tarot card that figures into the story – the Knight of Swords, to be exact. A Talent for Death debuts in paperback and Kindle …
Of all the characters I have ever written, Carter Lansford is my favorite. Those of you who have read the Betty Boo, Ghost Hunter Series will remember him as the rich, arrogant ghost-hunter whose paranormal investigation team is a rival to Betty’s Savannah Spirit Seekers. Carter was really a lot of fun to write, largely …
One week from today, I’ll be standing in line to get my badge for DragonCon 2015. The annual sci-fi/fantasy convention is like Christmas for my family, and I start planning and working on my costumes a year in advance. Over on EPBOT.com, Jen Yates has a wonderful list of DragonCon Survival Tips. But for those …
If DragonCon is my Christmas, then Star Wars Weekends is my Thanksgiving. It’s one of those annual events that I have come to look forward to with glee. This year was my third year participating in the parade at Disney’s Hollywood Studios as part of the Star Wars Weekends events. Each year, Disney invites the …
It all started on a Saturday night – well, Sunday morning – at 2:30 a.m., while sitting in the drive-through line at Krispy Kreme. We had just left the Masquerade in Atlanta, where Frank Turner and the Sleeping Souls had played the relatively cozy space in Hell. It was the first time we had seen …
It’s been a week and a half since DragonCon 2014, and I admit that I’ve been so busy since then that I’ve hardly had time to fall into Post Con Depression. To help keep it at bay a little longer, I thought I’d get the highlights of my weekend written down before it all becomes …
Well, another Halloween season in the books! I’m not looking forward to the task of taking down my Halloween decorations (although my husband can’t wait for me to pack away the creepy antique photos). I’ve realized that just as some families have Thanksgiving and Christmas traditions, I have Halloween traditions that just can’t be missed …
