Writing and career news
Finally getting around to posting this update. I’ve been so busy with so much writing-related stuff, but not much actual writing… !
The biggest writing news this month is that I finally launched the Vanished Chronicles via Patreon. That’s right, after nearly 10 years of hearing me talk about it, and after the whole saga of Tor Books putting me ( Read more... ) -
Not my usual monthly update… (got married)
Yeah, so… biggest news of the week is that corwin and I got married.
You might be surprised to find that, given all the romance I’ve written, I considered myself “anti-marriage.”
I’ve never been anti-love, of course. I’ve always been a fan of soulmates finding each other. It was just “marriage” that made me itch.

Sample chapter: The Vanished Chronicles Book 1: Bound by the Blood
I continue to be gobsmacked at how quickly the patreon jumped up over the past week! We’re now only $29 short of the monthly goal that will trigger the serialization of Bound by the Blood, the first book in my long-long-long awaited “BDSM meets sex magic in modern NYC” paranormal romance series.

Well, less than 48 hours later and it's rocketed up to $249! With only $51 to go, I better get off my ass and proofread those opening chapters again!

The Time is Now (to support a sm*t writer in your life)
I sent out my email newsletter in the wee hours this morning, and in this post I’m going to expand on some things I said in it. (Because even 12 hours later, some things already need updating!)
“Pornography should be outlawed. The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned.”
These are the literal words in Project 2025, the ultra- ( Read more... ) -
Let’s Talk About Fear (and erotica)
Thinky Thoughts: Let’s Talk About Fear
Welcome to the spookiest month of the year! I figure this is a great time for some thinky thoughts about fear-specifically how crucial fear is in erotic fiction. For me, at least.
I was a fraidy cat as a child. I was one of those kids who would see Godzilla on television and then not be able to get to sleep ( Read more... ) -
English is Weird, Man…
I started drafting this entry while traveling in the UK. And while I am a “native English speaker,” I’m an American, and so hearing the English speak English always comes with some wee disconnects in my brain.
For one thing, posh British accents are so often used in Hollywood to indicate villainy. Have you noticed that? I’m not sure how much of ( Read more... )
