Read MoreMy mother kills fairy tales. She read us Lord of the Rings twice. The Nargun under the Stars, though it gave us nightmares.

Read MoreI want to talk about the elephant in the room. The green one. The one that sits behind the screen and judges. Both their own self worth and what they have accomplished. A few months back someone sent me a screen shot a tweet that criticized authors for talking about writing many words in short […]
Read MoreI’ve done a lot of challenging, ambitious and straight up crazy in my writing life.
