Victorian Christmases are beautiful, full of tradition, and multi-faceted in celebration. In fact, many authors of both books and scripts would love to put a gorgeous Christmas scene into their book. So why isn’t there one in Anatomy of a Darkened Heart? You’ll notice that I used the words “beautiful” and “gorgeous” to describe the way […]
I’m proud and excited to be featured on The Scary Reviews today. I was interviewed by David Spell, a very well read indie reviewer and creator of the site, as part of his brilliant Spotlighting Women in Horror feature. It was fantastic talking to him about the music that inspired Anatomy of a Darkened Heart and other […]
This year has been a very productive writing year for me, and to finish it out, you can read my short story “Piece and Quiet” for FREE in The December Awethology – Dark Volume.

NaNoWriMo is almost over, and while I had a major setback that meant I needed to restart the whole book, I also feel the book is shaping up to be something much stronger and more intense than I’d originally planned. My publication date has not changed: early 2016, so that’s a big positive. My motivation […]
Very exciting news! A poem of mine called “Desensitization” was recently published in The Andromedae Review‘s premier issue! You can see it here for free.

An excerpt from Anatomy of a Darkened Heart and a description of the Dark Victoriana Collection along with what you have to look forward to is neatly arranged on the page. Here it is! And don’t […]
So begins the season of hurried writing! During this year’s NaNoWriMo, I’m writing the second book in the Dark Victoriana Collection, Locke and Keye. I won’t be doing a vlog per day this time, but I will be vlogging when possible as well as trying some new cafes that I’ll take pictures of and tell you about. There […]
