Planning All the Things
I have a confession to make. I’m a bit of a planning junkie. I’m not always as meticulous with my planning as I should be, but when I am, I’m far more productive. I started to get back into my meticulous planning habit this past September when I discovered my life felt like it was sliding off the rails with…

Playlist for Illuminated Darkness (OTS 5)
For your listening pleasure – a list of songs (on Spotify) that have inspired Illuminated Darkness. This is the fifth book in the OTS Series. The first song on the list is the theme song for the entire novel. Each book I write has a theme song. Listen at your own risk. I have rather aggressive/dark tastes in music that…

Is it Wrong?
Some real reviews of books I never left on said books because I refuse to give any book less than three stars. If I can’t give it at least three stars and find something good to say, I simply don’t review it. Books and authors have been omitted, but let’s face it – we’ve ALL read these books. “When I…

Illuminated Darkness: Excerpt
The following is an unedited excerpt of Illuminated Darkness (OTS #5) — I like the Goetia programming, Lucifuge told me. “You would,” I murmured to the Daemon. Ever since he’d helped me out of my last bind, he’d taken his role of protectorate a little too far. Lately a day hadn’t gone by when he didn’t show up to say…

Author Events and How to Manage #random
A friend of mine recently came to me asking for advice about attending an upcoming con. She wanted to know what authors (and other types of exhibitors) should do (and should not do) to make a con successful. She enjoyed my response so much she said I should post a blog that might help other authors. So, that said, here…

Blackrose Coven #thirteencovens
Blackrose Coven – Audrey Brice Daemons, walking corpses, teenage sorcerers, and self-professed minions of Satan – it’s all in a days work for the Tri-county Sheriff’s Department out of Haileyville, New York. Keeping the supernatural off the official record and under the news radar isn’t an easy job, but Sheriff Steve and the other members of the Blackrose Coven are…

Falling From Grace #bdsm #eroticromance
He’ll give up everything… Kevin Michaels rebelled against his strict Catholic upbringing and spent his days living on the fringe and immersing himself in The Dark Places, a club of debauchery and decadence a lifetime away from the quaint town he grew up in. There, he met Katrine, the first woman he ever dared fall in love with. When a…

Attention Authors: You’re Killing Me, Smalls… #authorlife #promobasics
I do a lot of work with other authors. After all, collaboration, paying it forward, sharing information and all that – it’s a wonderful thing. Writers are my tribe, and I get excited every time an author friend hits the bestseller list, and I cheer on each new book release as if it were my own. I love you guys.…

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…

When Life Requires Prioritization #scheduling #spoons
Recently it came to my attention that some folks have mistaken my dedication to my own work, and minding my own business, as not having the time to be bothered with participating in online occult discussions. While I don’t owe anyone an explanation – I think it’s important that I address this because statements like this suggest that maybe I…
