Manifest: An Excerpt
Manifest officially debuts on Monday, June 18! You’ve seen the cover and read the synopsis, so now I’m sharing an excerpt from the book. My heroine, Alice Meriwether, has been sent to Atlanta to be a governess for the Highcroft children. She moves in with the family, whose number includes Mr. Highcroft’s brother Roland. After …
Manifest: What’s it About, Anyway?
As the debut of my young adult steampunk novel approaches, I thought I’d share the synopsis with you. I had fun setting the story in Victorian Atlanta, and although I changed some things around in our city’s timeline, there are some very real places and events mentioned. Here’s a look at Manifest: Alice Meriwether is …
Steampunk Sneak Peek: The Cover of Manifest
My young adult steampunk novel Manifest debuts next Monday, June 18. In preparation for “Manifest Monday,” here’s a look at the cover! The Victorian photo is one that I found in an antique store, and I think he looks like a character named Roland: a little distracted and disheveled, but handsome nonetheless.
Live Forever, Ray Bradbury
The first manuscript I ever attempted to write was inspired by Ray Bradbury. I had just finished reading Dandelion Wine during a flight, and I immediately put down the book, opened my laptop, and began to write. I didn’t get very far.

A Day in the Life

My Guest Post at Pure Textuality
Today I have the pleasure of being the guest blogger over at Pure Textuality, a great site covering book news and reviews. I owe a huge thanks to Jena for allowing me to talk about the craft of writing for her site. My guest post discusses the adage “write what you know” and how I …
Jane Austen Knows Best
Jane Austen is one of my favorite authors (along with Ray Bradbury). A quote from a letter she wrote on October 26, 1813, pretty much sums up my Monday: “I am not at all in a humor for writing; I must write on till I am.” After all, there are clients who don’t want to …
