Why yes! Yes you did! One of the things I do to promote my work is to enter it into contests. This worked exceptionally well for The Immortality Virus, which won two awards and was a finalist in a third. Last week, as I was compiling the list of contests I wanted to enter, I […]

Rereading Wheel of Time: Lord of Chaos (Book 6)
And so begins the slowing of the plot… I say this from the perspective of someone who was fond enough of this story to be willing to reread these long books in order to finally see how it ends, but let’s face it, the number 1 complaint of readers when it comes to The Wheel […]
Attn Fellow Chocolate Snobs: An Easter Lesson
Whew! I managed to pull off Easter for the family this year, but it was a near thing. And really, my reasoning was sound. Why stock up on Easter candy weeks in advance, only to have it sitting on a shelf or in a closet, tempting me? Oh, it’s “hidden” from everyone else, but *I* […]
Rereading Wheel of Time: Fires of Heaven (Book 5)
Nations fall. The tower breaks. And the seals on the dark one’s prison are crumbling at an alarming rate. In my rereading of book 5 of the Wheel of Time, I felt a bit impatient with one of the subplots — Elayne and Nynaeve trek across the world after dealing with black aja members in […]

Rereading Wheel of Time: The Shadow Rising (Book 4)
ETA: Check out the clip from the audio version of this book at the bottom of my review. I’ve been reading the series in audio format, and if you’re into that kind of thing, you should definitely give this one a try. My trek back through the world of the Wheel of Time continues with […]
New Interview
A new interview went live today…this one with a few questions I haven’t already answered. 🙂 Check it out at Entropy Central.
Rereading Wheel of Time: The Dragon Reborn (Book 3)
Years ago I heard that Jordan initially planned this 14-volume series as a trilogy. Rereading it, I think that perhaps, at the end of the first book, he might have had a chance at that. It would have involved him taking the easy and simpler road, but it would have been possible. By the end […]
Secrets and Lies Edits are In
Edits are in for Secrets and Lies, book 2 of my Cassie Scot series. I know, I know…you’re all still waiting on #1. Well, just know that #2 won’t be far behind. I got a new editor for this book, and I’m quite pleased about it. She’s found a number of issues, one significant, most […]
