I have to admit, after the previous last instalment of Indiana Jones (the movie that shall be struck from the record, aka Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull) I wasn’t too keen on going to the cinema to endure yet another disappointing final shot at what was my favourite movie trilogy growing…

A Spark of Reverie is Now Available in Paperback and Hardcover!
Milestone reached! For the first time ever, I held a physical copy of one of my books in my own hands! (And, as it turns out, I received my copies on my birthday, so it was doubly special.) Creating the paperback edition of A Spark of Reverie was an incredible learning curve and involved the…
Revisiting Cardiff for an ASRAI’S CURSE Book Tour
We’ve recently returned from a trip to Wales to visit family, and one of our daytrips included a spectacularly wet morning in Cardiff. We wanted to revisit our old haunts and see some of the sights featured in ASRAI’S CURSE (Part 3 of the Mythical Menagerie, published in the novel Myth Hunter). Since the weather…

Today is a book birthday – hooray! Myth Keeper, the much-anticipated sequel to Myth Hunter (Mythical Menagerie Book 1), is finally available for purchase!

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…
