Since I’m writing a fairytale-retelling trilogy, I thought it would be fun to count down the top ten fairytales. When I was researching this, it seems the number one fairytale was pretty universal. From there, a few stayed on the lists, and some of the lists had stories I’d never…
I’m so excited to announce that Dreamthief is getting a makeover! After speaking with my publisher, we decided the original cover doesn’t really fit with the urban fantasy genre. Although I still love the old cover, this new cover more accurately shows my main character in her element. What do…

It’s with much relief and elation that I announce Book Baby #13 is finished! I wrote “The End” on Saturday, which also happened to be my daughter’s birthday. Weird fact: I’ve finished several of my books on important dates. Dreamthief, was published on Sept. 1, my niece’s birthday. I also…
