Today is a book birthday – hooray! Myth Keeper, the much-anticipated sequel to Myth Hunter (Mythical Menagerie Book 1), is finally available for purchase! If you’ve been wondering what happened to Ambrose, or the creatures he and Amari acquired during the events of the blood moon market in Rome, then the wait is finally over.…

Am I Writing Contemporary or Urban Fantasy?
With the imminent release of Myth Keeper, the second book in my Mythical Menagerie fantasy series, I found myself once again wondering in which subgenre the series falls. Up until now I’ve been marketing it as urban fantasy, but if I look at other popular titles in the genre, it just doesn’t feel like the…
My 2023 Reading Challenge
I don’t really understand why someone would challenge themselves to read x amount of books every year. Unless you don’t read at all and you’d like to get into the habit, why put pressure on yourself or limit yourself to a number? Reading is fun. Do it because you like it, and read what you…
Looking Ahead to 2023
As always, the new year fills me with hope and anticipation. I make my todo lists diligently, and I cross off everything I accomplished during the past year with a sense of achievement (while trying not to feel too bad about the things that didn’t get done). This year is no different, but what I’ve…
My 2022 in Books
Before writers ever put pen to paper, they fall in love with stories by reading. Although I definitely think of myself as a writer, I’m a reader first and foremost. And everything I read shape the stories I write. So let’s have a look at what I filled my head with this year. (PS: If…
What I’m Currently Working On: Drinking a Celebratory Milkshake
Wow, it’s been a while since I wrote one of these posts! The last time I was busy plotting Book 2 of my Mythical Menagerie series, and a year or so later I was feeling overwhelmed and decided to hone everything down to just the most important bare bones. And today, I’m drinking a celebratory…
Release Day: A Flight of Reverie
As it turns out, if you write a monthly flash fiction story for your email subscribers, sooner or later you’ll have enough stories for a new collection. That new collection is called A Flight of Reverie and is now available in e-book format from all your favourite online retailers! This collection contains twenty deliciously dark…
Looking Ahead to 2022
Naively, I thought 2021 was going to be the year in which I made up for 2020… but that didn’t happen. I was fairly on track during the first half of the year, until I got a case of the plague (over my birthday, no less!) and since then, not a lot as happened (and…
My 2021 in Books
You know the old adage “you are what you eat?”, right? Well, books are food for the mind, so they shape the way you think. They allow you to live vicariously through the good and bad experiences of the characters, they present you with places and ideas new to you, and they broaden your horizons.…
To Reread or Not to Reread
There was a time when I read nothing new. I had a few favourite books that I would systematically reread each year, and I was quite content with that. I was wrapped in a warm bubble of comfort reads, blissfully ignorant of anything new being published while I stuck with my familiar favourites. But people…
