Let me start by saying that this is not one of those “pity the poor writer” columns. But this is an acknowledgement that I am in a rough place right now. It’s been an amazing two weeks, and a really tough two weeks. Davis Pride, where our local author group had a booth, was very nearly rained out by a huge unseasonable storm. We pushed through it, and it was a successful event, but it was hard going filled with uncertainty. Then we had a great reading at the Lavender Library, but aside from our own “writing family,” only two … Read more

POINT OF VIEW: The World Needs to Calm the F* Down.

Pride Season is upon us, and with it, so many things I have to do, and so little time to do them. We have two readings in Sacramento this week (thank you Jeff Adams for managing one of them!), two pride celebrations, an author lunch, and that’s just the stuff on my local author group plate. The world outside our doorstep seems to be spinning out of control, my writing is on hold until I can find time for it, and somehow I have about ten times as many things to do as I have time to do them. So … Read more

FIVE STAR REVIEW: Ithani

by

Just got an amazing review for Ithani this week from Anne Barwell at Drops of Ink: “…the world building is fabulous, detailed, and very visual…. I found the ending of this series very satisfying, and loved the sense of everything coming full circle, especially with the revelation of how the planet was named. I’d recommend Ithani to readers who enjoy science fiction with in depth world building, complex characters, and a plot that keeps you reading. I would however, recommend reading the series in order as this isn’t a stand alone. 5 out of 5 stars.” Read the whole thing here. Buy … Read more
