Bears are supposed to live in the woods, just not one who sends you to the moon.

I promised my friend that I would find the place I was meant to be.  Neither of us had a clue what that meant, but searching for it after he's gone helps me cope with my grief. I pack up my art supplies and hit the highway...

Welcome to my stories.

My passion for writing began in 2020, following a summer of voracious, lockdown-induced reading in my favorite genre, paranormal romance. Besides my self-published books, my stories have appeared in anthologies, and more novels are on the horizon. Not surprising. Anyone who knows me will tell you I'm a dedicated multi-crafter. A peek inside my colorful, cluttered studio also gives you an idea. I enjoy blogging, chatting with indie authors on my Spotlight, and watching classic movies with my husband—a bowl of popcorn on my lap and my rescued fur babies at my feet.

Goodreads review for Ursus Borealis

This is a shifter romance unlike one I have ever read before! I’m enjoying it and book 2 so much I didn’t even sleep last night to start book 2!!! I was trying to figure out how to do a GOOD review without giving away anything…. don’t know if I can besides saying it’s an amazing found family on multiple sides and DEFINITELY a different kind of shifter romance!!! It’s great! Seriously, almost done with book 2 already!!!

Goodreads review for Drago Incendium

This series has amazing world building! The second book expanded on the lore, and we got to know the secondary characters better, making the found family vibe from book one even stronger. I loved it!

The MCs spent some quality time together, too :D There was more danger and action in this book compared to the previous, and I enjoyed that as well. Lots of exciting things coming in book 3, so l’m off to read that asap!

Amazon Review for Tigris Vetus

Amazing

I cried, I laughed, and I was angry. The ride was so worth it! This series was my introduction to reading this genre. I have found this to be some of the best writing, story telling and follow through on all character paths of any prior reading of any genre.

Ode to an Uncle I Didn’t Appreciate as Much as I Should Have Before

First of all, I want to say I adored Uncle Lauran. I just had no idea…

Recently, someone asked on social media about using different pen names for different genres. My first reaction was that a name is the most important aspect of a writer and should sell the author, regardless of the genre. It’s hard to imagine using multiple pen names and struggling to brand each one for different genres. I already have a hard enough time branding my single pen name. Of course, I’m self-published in today’s...

Sunday Spotlight with Fantasy Author Sue C. Dugan! This month, we get to

This month, we get to chat with a fellow Nevada author I met at the Virginia City Writing Retreat. Sue and I enjoyed a great conversation over breakfast on the last morning about her career in education and her insights into the minds of young people, which she features in her writing. I’m glad to have the opportunity to learn more about her life as a writer and her works. Read more...

Sunday Spotlight with USA Today Bestselling Author Grace Draven! A December

I prepared for our chat by poring over reviews of the first story I read, Radiance. To me, this was the perfect book by Ms. Draven to start with because it renewed my love of epic romance and set me on the path to romance writing in fantasy settings. Keep reading to share in this excellent conversation…
