I’m very ready for political season to be done here. I’m tired of the news articles only talking about politics, the signs in people’s yards, and most definitely tired of the telephone calls from pollsters. They always seem to ask personal questions (how much do you make, what do you do, how old are you) […]

Spilled Coffee
Yesterday was release day for The Forsaking of the Blind, the final book in The Wing Cycle trilogy! (Insert shouts of joy.) I’m still super excited about this and am basically riding that book release energy all the way to the weekend. (Quick note: the paperback and hardback books are not available yet. They’re stuck […]
All the Stories
Okay, so here’s the thing about having rheumatoid arthritis. Things hurt. Yes, I’m managing the pain, but i’ve only just recently been diagnosed and am still working with my doctor to figure out the best drug combination. But all the treatment stuff aside, I am still experiencing joint pain. I will probably always have some […]
Book Planning
This week has been a strange week. Though, I feel as though I say that about most weeks. I suppose that’s better than falling into routine, but alas. This week has been a strange week. Mostly, because I started writing the fourth book in my upcoming On Behalf of Death series. This follows Cal Thorpe, […]
Too Early the Sun
Yesterday, we had a massive silver maple taken out at the house. The tree was six feet wide at the base, had three main trunks, was probably 80-100ft tall (hard to tell) and, unfortunately, was rotting. The limbs that hung over the house and power lines were the worrying bits, so it had to come […]
Cover Reveal! The Forsaking of the Blind
The Stormbringers are flying to war. But are they prepared for what the aftermath might bring? Ravenna has spent the last moons preparing her people for war, and now it is time to fly. She knows that this is right, but facing Davorin has consequences that not even she could predict. Reunited with Miska, with […]
Multi-book Weekend
Okay, here’s the thing about rheumatoid arthritis that I didn’t know. (To be honest, there’s a whole bunch I don’t know, as this is still fairly new to me.) Fatigue sucks. A lot. Yes, I’ve had fatigue before in my life–read coeliacs, allergies, all those lovely autoimmune things–but this feels a lot more…intense. For the […]
The Dog Days of Summer
Summer and I do not get along. At all. There are about two weeks in the middle of spring where I think, “Hmm, maybe it would be nice to sit out in the sun and be warm.” And then the heat hits and I realise that those thoughts were Not A Good Idea. Basically, I […]
Almost Done with The Wing Cycle
If you’ve been following any of the newsletters/slightly rambling posts on my various social media pages, then you probably know I have been working on finishing up The Forsaking of the Blind, the third book in The Wing Cycle. At this point, I have about a week’s worth of work left to do on this […]
Midway Between, Part IV
Midway was essentially the centre of the world. We had all sorts of trade running through and people besides. And people get bored. When people get bored, they head to the bars. Midway had a whole number of them. Oxygen deprivation for the cloud folk who wanted to feel a little more at home. Oxy-full […]
Midway Between, Part III
We went to analytics. Analytics folk are unusual people. They spend more time with their head buried into their vid screens and their piles of data than they do walking the decks or climbing up the city and seeing the real world. I think I’ve seen an analytic type out of their den twice in […]
Midway Between, Part II
“Checking the database,” Silver said. “We should have information on him come false dawn.” I nodded. Then pulled out my lapel comms pen, called up the head office. “Slocum here,” I said. “We could have one of those things you like to call a big problem here. Dead guy, looks to work for or be […]
