    Quickening Moon Goals Progress

    The Quickening Moon lived up to its name this month! An opportunity arose that I wanted to be part of, and since my novella was done, I ended up doing a cover reveal, getting the pre-order ready, and making the print version in record time.

    Goals for the Quickening Moon

    Happy New Moon day! At least, in my part of the world 🙂 February’s full moon is called the Quickening Moon in some Celtic traditions, and it is one of my favorites. Things are happening. Energy is gathering. Momentum is building. Beneath the frozen earth, things are pushing, pushing, pushing toward the surface. We may…

  • Hoodie Weather!

    The joy of cooler weather doesn’t end with knitting. I’m a huge fan of hoodies, and love it when the temperatures get to a point where I can wear them. Functional pockets and cozy warmth—what’s not to love? Last year, I decided to amp my hoodie-love factor by designing hoodies that had my series logos…

  • Three Words

    I love the tradition of picking a word for each year. A word to focus on, plan around, and maintain during mindfulness practice. 2018 is going to be big. I can already feel it, because this year, my psyche isn’t happy with just one word. It wants three. Home The first word that came to…

  • Focusing on Happiness—Week Eighteen

    What I’m happy about this week: new projects.

  • Back and Forth

    Writing is an intense process that takes a lot of time and energy. It’s given me some of the greatest joys and greatest frustrations I’ve ever experienced. One of the most challenging parts for me is the back and forth that happens at the beginning of pretty much every project. This is before the writing…

  • Focusing on Happiness—Week Fifteen

    What I’m happy about this week: the winter woods. There hasn’t been much snow on the ground, but the woods have a decidedly winter cast to them. You can feel the restiveness of the forest as the trees fall deeply into their slumber. I love being able to see the patterns in the branches and…

  • The Dwellers Database

    The Blades of Janus have many resources to help them combat the alien threats that have spread all over Earth. Rayguns, hoverbikes, silver-infused swords. One of their most important tools mentioned in Pack, the first novel set in this world, is the Dwellers Database. This central repository of knowledge gives the Blades information, descriptions, and…
