“NO!” I screamed as a speeding, moss-green station wagon slammed into my graduate advisor, who had been running across the street. Dr. Ramirez’s body rolled up onto the hood, his head hitting the windshield with a sickening crack, before sliding back down and settling on the asphalt. His arm flopped out to the side, landing in one of the many puddles created by

Meswett, trust yourself and you shall trust the gods.

So it ends, from start to finish,

Steeped in ancient Egyptian mythology, Echo Prophecy, the first book of the Echo Trilogy, is a story of discovery, of an ancient, hidden past, and above all else, of a love that transcends the boundaries of time.


Here's Echo Prophecy's shiny new cover (special thanks to Scarlett Rugers, my amazing cover designer!):

This is a re-post of a guest post I wrote a while back, which first appeared here. It's so personal to me as a writer that I thought it worth sharing with you all as well.

I never received high praise from my high school English teachers for my attempts at using figurative or descriptive language, nor did I take creative writing classes in college. Instead, I’ve always been a voracious reader,

Okay, no, we didn’t meticulously check sales numbers, make spreadsheets comparing

I've finally taken the ill-advised plunge and joined Pinterest. This is/was/will prove to be a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad idea. I fear that much time will be sucked into this evil, black hole of fun. Damn.

But...

Though it may detract from writing time--which really isn't likely because when I'm in the writing zone the room could be burning around me and I might not notice--it should

Oh the INSANITY...

To quote a semi-famous youtube child-star...


Is this real life?



I'd been plodding along--okay it was more like toiling tirelessly--for the past several years working on various writing projects, dreaming about what my life my be like if I one day really did publish a book, and working for other people...to pay the bills (meh). Most nights, once my brain died, I would cook dinner for the hub,
