Spring Writes comes to Ithaca this weekend!

Spring has come to central New York. That means the temperature bounces from 50 to 80 to 35 up to 65, down below freezing for a couple of nights, and then back to 72. Or maybe 90. Anything from wind to snow to thunderstorms to love can be in the air. Flowers manage to blossom. [...]

Vampires, Werewolves & Fairies, Oh My!

It’s been a long quiet spell here. I’ve been working on Deadtown #5 and fleshing out some ideas for other projects. I’m designing my own do-it-yourself writing retreat, and will be back with updates on how that works (as well as how it’s working out). Today, though, I’ve emerged from the shadows for

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Lately, I’ve been thinking about romance–and not just because my wonderful husband sent me these lovely roses for Valentine’s Day. I’ve always considered myself as first and foremost a mystery or urban fantasy writer. A touch of romance was fine, but the primary emphasis was always on setting the wo

COVER REVEAL: Are you ready for Vicky’s close-up?

I just got the OK to share the cover for Darklands, which shows Vicky up-close and personal. Over the course of the series, we first sawVicky from the back on the cover of Deadtown, as she clutches her flaming sword and looks out over the city. Then in Hellforged, we saw her profile as she [...]

Happy New Year!

I managed to miss the entire month of December on the blog, thanks to a combination of revising Darklands, an influx of day-job work, holiday preparations, and a bout of the flu. Except for the flu, all that was good, but it took a lot of my time. So 2011 ended in kind of a [...]

Fall has fallen!

After finishing my Bloodstone blog tour and a writing project, I’ve got a few days’ space to catch my breath. Fall is my favorite season, so I’m delighted it’s still going strong in my part of the world. Today we had mild temperatures in the 70s. It’ll get colder toward the end of the week, [...]

Spooky Legends at All Things Urban Fantasy

Today I’m at All Things Urban Fantasy with a story in the Spooky Legends event. Spooky Legends are mashups of urban legends and urban fantasy–each participating author started with an urban legend and set it in the world of their books. I started with a legend in which a psychic predicts a Halloween
