On Monday, I started a new book. Specifically, book 10 of my Real Werewolves Don’t Eat Meat series. This one’s a little bittersweet for me. Originally, back in 2011-2014, RWDEM grew to a 5-book series. Book 5 was intended to be the final book, had a distant-future epilogue, and so on. And that book, published READ MORE

I Want to Write a Christmas Story…
I want to write a Christmas story.Naturally, because I *want* to write, my brain is like, “Nah, that’s no fun, here, have a blue screen of doom instead.” Because that’s usually what happens when I try to write a story that isn’t a direct part of one of my series. (And sometimes even when I READ MORE
So, here we are…
I haven’t been blogging recently because there have been a lot of things going on. Some good, some not so much. But also, when I sit down to do a blog post, or a newsletter, or even a social media post, I’m battling my own brain sometimes. Executive dysfunction leads to me sitting at the READ MORE
Almost Done…
As I type this, I’m about one chapter away from finishing the first draft of Much Ado about Muesli, book 9 of my Real Werewolves Don’t Eat Meat series. I probably could have already finished it, but this past week, between recovering from surgery (though at my follow-up appointment they said I’m recovering better than READ MORE
Paperbacks!
A lot of people nowadays read books on devices. Kindles, phones, computers… there are plenty of electronic methods of reading a book. Personally, I prefer hard copies of books. I like being able to flip the pages back and forth. I like how a book feels in my hands. And words on a paper page READ MORE
Grumble Grumble Book Blurb Grumble
I’ve spent the past couple of days struggling to write the blurb (a/k/a book description) for Storm and Shelter, which is book 3 of the Ebb and Flow series. The first draft of the book is complete and I’m working on some rewrites now prior to editing, and I want to put it up for READ MORE
I’m Thankful for Werewolves
(NOTE: This was originally posted on my Facebook profile on March 1, 2025.) With everything that’s happened in the U.S. in the past couple of days (well, since January 20, really), I’m extremely thankful for werewolves. Yeah, that paragraph is a bit tongue in cheek. Anyone who knows me, knows I have a bit of READ MORE
A Love Letter to My Childhood
The book I’m currently working on, which is book 3 in my Ebb and Flow series (a spin-off of Real Werewolves Don’t Eat Meat that takes place primarily in Nova Scotia), is rapidly becoming a love letter to the summer cottage my Canadian grandparents (my mother’s parents) owned until I was 14 or so. I READ MORE
Still Writing
I live in the United States. By now, I think everyone in the world knows what’s happening here. I’m privileged to live in a “blue” state, i.e. one where policies tend to be relatively liberal and actually in the best interests of most residents, but even here we’ve been seeing signs that the “executive” orders READ MORE
There’s Something In My Eye…
I’m currently working on the first draft of Sorry About the Seitan (Real Werewolves Don’t Eat Meat 8), and yesterday I wrote a scene that almost made me cry. I guess it’s good if I can elicit that kind of reaction in myself; it might mean my readers will like the scene too. I can’t READ MORE
