I drew back as every hair on my arm stood on end, and fought…

2018 Publishing Schedule (Tentative) #goals
2017 was a bust for me. From June onward I was so busy focusing on in-person signings, conventions, parties and public speaking, that actual writing took a back seat while I juggled communication, planning, marketing, and prep work for said conventions. I only managed the equivalent of ONE novel last year, down from my usual two or three (plus novellas,…

Fiction vs. Real World Occult
It never ceases to amaze me the questions I receive in my email where people have blurred the lines between fiction vs. real-world occult. Or perhaps it doesn’t amaze me so much as saddens me. For some people, there’s a real disconnect between reality and pure fantasy. They are willing to believe that fictional accounts like Marlowe’s Dr. Faustus, Milton’s…

It’s that time of year again where I feel a need to do a horror film marathon, and read as many creepy books as possible. On my Halloween watchlist each year, Spellbinder, Skeleton Key, The Baby’s Room, Rosemary’s Baby (original), The Omen (original), The Exorcist (original), Insidious 2 (better than the first one), The Conjuring 1 & 2, and the…

Update 10/23/2018: Thirteen Covens: Bloodlines Part One is a 2018 CIPA EVVY Award Winner!! I promised those who prefer to read in paperback that I would put out the first 7 Thirteen Covens novellas in paperback once I finished the 7th novella.

A Week Off #amwriting #blogging
So one of the fabulous things about #DoMagick, is that it forces me to blog every day. That’s a good exercise in and of itself despite the fact that it takes time to blog. On the downside, I ended up needing a bit of a break. So I took about a week off from blogging. The good news is I…

Day 20: Progress! #DoMagick
So, a lot happened today. I am rather impressed with my energy and the sheer amount of what I got done. So first, I opened the temple. Had my coffee and breakfast, then cut my husband’s hair. Answered some email. Went back into the temple, invoked Flaros, Bael, Paimon, and Agares – then Sorath. I re-anointed the magickal model, held…
