"Do you take constructive criticism?"

I only accept three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky.
"Do you take constructive critism"

I only take cash or credit.

Demelza, a world-weary witch, and Uliana, an even more exhausted vampyre, work together to send wayward demons, ghosts and otherworldly creatures back to where they came from. But some jobs are more difficult than others.

WRITING TIP: If you feel the inescapable itch to write, but nothing done when you sit in front of your WIP, try journaling. Any topic you want, no one ever has to see it. Just you, your pen, and the page.

Full disclosure: I've decided to pass on enrolling my books in the Smashwords End of Year Sale in 2025. The event has historically not been great for me, and I want to put my energy toward a more active and fruitful 2026.

Don't let that stop you from buying my books, though!

Here’s why you shouldn’t pull your punches as a writer:

A big part of the appeal of a book is how dedicated the author is to their idea.

That crackling energy only comes from compulsion, the true driver of creativity.

Restrain it at your own peril.

I finished checking the paperback for errors. Yes, there were some, but not enough to make me embarrassed.

I'll fix them tomorrow.

For now, I'll leave you with the last line of my author bio:

What I say: I've outlined a new book to write!

What I mean: I've imagined a couple of really cool cinematic scenes, and now I need to figure out how to turn it into an actual story.

As if having standards, ethics and morals and caring about the planet is somehow a problem 🤣😏
