Two old favorites are coming back next month

Two old favorites are coming back next month
September 21, 2026

Hello all my peeps and pups.

It has been a busy week. I've been working lots in a slightly deranged occasionally off-task way. More rain has kept the farm work broken into smaller bites, including some extra barn cleaning after it flooded. 

Saturday's event at Evanly Bakes was a ton of fun. His shop is lovely and filled with yummy treats and wonderful people. If you're ever in New Kensington, stop by and enjoy.

A little book news... 

Books Books Books!
It's coming up on this Saturday. Can't wait to meet all my peeps in person. Every single event, you make it so much more fun. Last week I did offer up two tickets for the event and of the entries the winners are...
Anna who wants a copy of Forgiven
and Joanna who wants a copy of Lost Soul of the Wolf. 
And to everyone else who entered, it's not too late. You can still buy your tickets at the door. I hope you can make it. Find me at tables 110-111.

I've also set a couple pre-orders for October including two more Origin stories. Vali's Curse and A Spirit United were both released ages ago with Cobblestone Press. After a fresh edit and some new material, both will be re-released in October.


Read more and try something new... again!

September 14, 2026

Hello all my peeps and pups.

This week has been full of little jobs. making and packing up tons of swag for the  upcoming events. Most of it has arrived. A few last minute orders on books. Some of them might arrive in time for Books Books Books. What doesn't, will at least be available for the October and November events.

Speaking of events, I'll be joining in another one a bit last minute. So if you're near New Kensington on this Saturday, September 19th, I'll be at Evanly Bakes for the Pints, Plants and Paperbacks event. Come out and say hello.

And out on the other side of the state... If you're near Lancaster and want free tickets for the Books Books Books even, check out the contest below.

My next release will be Vali's Curse. Unless I get distracted by something more fun. Maybe some new pretty hardcovers? After a few shorter works I'll get back to finishing Guardian.

FARM UPDATE

The electrician came and gave us the bad news. He said what we had set up was done right but probably wouldn't be enough to run the bigger fridge. I might have been too excited and planned too big.
