I wonder if Dan Brown goes through this.

I'm deep into research for the next book in the Relic Hunter series and wanted to take a moment to talk about what that looks like for an Urban Fantasy author. Since I write a contemporary story using historical objects and myths, getting my characters from point A to point B involves a lot of …

I was in the middle of final edits when my computer died. Since I'm also a graphic designer, I had to have my new computer built - which took about three weeks - but now that it's here, I'm back to editing and will have a pre-release blitz coming up in the next few weeks. …

Detours into Death Valley

I'm currently finishing up a novella in the Relic Hunter series. I decided this was a good time to send Arienne on a different sort of adventure with Coyote and a few other Native American Spirits. To get them all to one place together was challenging, but I chose a location and away we went. …

What a busy month!

I'm finally DONE with the final edits on my new release. It's been weeks since I stopped writing the book and started fine-tuning and editing - weeks of staring at commas, re-chaptering, uploading, revising, uploading again. It's finally done, and I'm super excited that the 4th book in this series is about to be released. …

  I've been dying to put this cover out there! I've had it for YEARS waiting for the book to be done. Allow me to explain the artwork for a moment. I wanted the Celtic cross because if you read Legendary Magic, the last time we saw Ari and Evan they were looking for an …

Excerpt from Jealous Magic

Dr. Arienne Cerasola knows what it's like to start over...here's her discussion with her Grandfather - the eminent Archaeologist Dr. Christopher O'Flynn about that very situation... “Arienne, I need you to think about something.  If the memory of what led you to being...whatever you call yourself these days…”  Pops spread his hands out as if …

Kindle Countdown Deal

Right after publishing The Last 6 Weeks of Summer I started to feel guilty. The last time I saw Arienne Cerasola, Evan, and Coyote they had just returned to the summer residence of the Queen of the Southern Tier Fae. I've left them standing on the door step of that house long enough, so I'm …
