Hi readers!

Thank you for your continuing interest. I am no longer active on Inkshares, but Writing Bloc is releasing my collection Silly Little Monsters in time for Halloween.

Silly Little Monsters is a whimsical collection of nine tales to chill your spine and tickle your funny bone. These aren’t your typical bedtime stories. From “Alpha” to “Omega”, everybody wants to make sense of their world.

To find a place to belong.

To connect.

What can be scarier than that?

The e-book is available for pre-order on Amazon. Paperbacks will be available through Amazon and Barnes & Noble by Halloween for that fantastic new book smell. The stories span different genres from urban fantasy to realistic fiction. They are intended for young adults and up due to thematic content, and some adult language and situations.

Meanwhile it’s a race between two exciting works in progress, A Better Me and Fallen (formerly Grimalkin), to see which will become my debut novel.

Hello, readers.

Awesome news!

Grimalkin got a nod from the Inkshares syndicate, Break the Bechdel with Strong Female Characters, which means a lot to me because I value avoiding clichés and subverting expectations.  The 2018 Inkshares Horror contest also helped me overcome my latest bout with writer’s block. Now the only obstacle is time.

I had hoped to share Grimalkin up through a major cliffhanger that would hopefully elicit sales from people dying to find out if I really did what it looks like I did. Alas, it won’t be ready in time due to work, illness, and parental duties. It really is a killer cliffhanger, though. ;)

Thanks as always for your support!

PS. I did add Chapter 6.
