    I’ve loved art for as long as I can remember. Music, paintings, books, quilts… I’m fascinated by the creative energy that goes into making art as much as the results. One of my favorite things to do at our local museum is to pick out a single piece to spend some quality time with. I…

    Ling “Jazz” Zhou was born in Kansas City, Kansas, 33 years ago today (okay, if she was real, that is). A master at showmanship who gives away nothing about herself—she is quite possibly the most direct character I’ve written so far, while also being the most guarded. Her world and her self-view have been turned…

    I’ve read voraciously for as long as I can remember. Listening to the inner monologue of characters, seeing them work through challenges, and learning how different people relate to each other and their world fascinates me. In middle school, I discovered one of the stories that would haunt me for the rest of my life—Gaston…

    I make it no secret that I am friends with A.E. Ash. I’ve already mentioned her once here in this space. We share our writing journeys with each other as well as the day-to-day realities of our existence. Having a writing buddy has been invaluable—someone to share challenges, epiphanies, doubts, and achievements. She’s been doing…

    Writers are often asked about where their ideas come from. For me, that would be lightning strikes of creativity where my brain concatenates events and experience with my imaginative wanderings. Ideas are a popular focus for questions, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone ask where the details of the story develop. This is…

    Did I not mention yesterday, Wandering Soul is out in the world? I can only hope it is being well received and bringing joy to the people reading it. Okay, joy by the end. The characters have to go through challenges to get to their happy-ever-after! In case you haven’t had a chance to read…

    Today is the release day for Wandering Soul! Happy Birthday, dear book! When I signed on with Samhain Publishing, it seemed like this day was so far away. Looking back, the time flew by! I’ve learned so much and had such an amazing experience working with my editor, Holly Atkinson, and all the people at…

    You’ve had a chance to meet not only Winston but Elsa, the heroine of Wandering Soul. It seems only fitting that I should introduce you to the hero as well. Dante’s backstory piece is quite the opposite of Winston and Elsa’s. It’s the tragic and very permanent ending of one of Dante’s most important relationships.…

    Today is the full moon known as the Blessing Moon. I have so many blessings in my life. Too many to enumerate here. But I have been and will continue to focus on them, to hold them close to my heart, and keep saying a very sincere “Thank you” to the universe. And thank you…
