We have settled on a name for our new farm…drum roll, please…Dragon Run Farm. Thank you to everyone who offered suggestions. The final name actually came from a mish-mash of suggestions.
No, that’s not a picture of me. But I hope to find a dragon tree. ...

What’s so special about these trees, you might ask? They look like any other trees, but these are soon to be my new refuge. Yep, we did it. Hubby and I bought a farm. Or at least a property that will become a farm. Right now it’s a big forest with some cleared land that will be pe...
Grimalkins Don’t Purr releases today!
It’s the second day of fall. The weather here is rainy and blustery, but it’s always sunny in the Nether! That’s where everyone’s favorite dervish has disappeared to. Kyra will seek help from her father to find him. The only s...
I took a week off to visit with my mother in August and then went camping for a weekend. It was a wonderful relaxing time, but it meant that I had a 3-week marathon of editing to get ready for publishing. It was grueling, but I made it! Grimalkins Don’t Purr is officially off to the proofr...
What I really like about pre-ordering books is that they miraculously appear on my reader or listening device of choice on launch day. It’s always a little surprise that makes me smile. We all need more of those kinds of surprises these days. So pay yourself forward, and pre-order a lit...
I’ve been sitting on this surprise for a while, but I can finally give it a big shout out!

July is my birthday month. I won’t tell you how old I am (ahem) but let’s just say, it’s a milestone year. So to celebrate, I’m giving away a Valkyrie Bestiary hardcover collection prize pack! There are several ways to enter to win.
First Prize:

A couple of weeks ago, I was walking Maggie, the hell-hound-in-training, when I tripped and busted up my knee pretty badly. Couldn’t walk on it for over a week. You can see a really cute video of Maggie running through the daisies by clicking on the image below (note: this will link to a p...

As soon as I have cover art, I’ll have a more definite date.
But I can officially release the new title. Ready for it?

The Girl Who Cried Banshee, a Valkyrie Bestiary Tale is now available!
Kyra Greene is a pest controller, not an exterminator. She has to be clear about that when the pests can be anything from pixies to dragons. But when her fledgling business teeters on the brink of bankruptcy, Kyra takes ...
I’m getting ready to release The Girl Who Cried Banshee into the world. New releases are always exciting but also nerve-wracking.
Beautiful art for covers helps with those nerves. And I love the art created for this new Valkyrie Bestiary tale by Sergey Velikoluzhskiy. It features a new c...
I’ve had so many readers send me notes asking for more of Kyra’s story. These notes, whether by email, on the blog, or by social media, fill me to overflowing with happiness. So thank you to everyone who asked for more.
And I’m glad to say The Girl Who Cried Banshee...

I have some exciting freebie news for you (scroll down for that). But first, a very thoughtful review for Hidden Coven appeared on Amazon last week (thank you anahatalov!). Here’s a snippet:
“There also seems to be a strong unspoken connection between the Hidden Coven seri...

Happy Easter! I hope this lovely spring weekend finds you safe and well. We are about to go into lockdown again, so no Easter festivities for us. But that’s okay. It just means I have more time to write.
I’ve been getting a lot of emails lately, asking when the next Valkyrie Bes...
If you’ve been around this blog for a while, you know that I love animals of all kinds. Furred, feathered, scaled. It doesn’t matter. I even like the slimy ones, like frogs and snails, and the freaky ones like bats and octopuses. I’m betting that a lot of others like critt...
I get asked a lot of questions about writing, reading and my books (both published and works-in-progress). I’ve been in this biz for a long time, and I even mentor other writers through workshops at my local libraries. I love answering questions! So ask away. Is there anything about Kyra&r...
