Big news today, on two fronts!
I’ve never seen this before! I don’t set the pricing on the audiobook of Fired Up, Frantic, and Freaked Out, and it’s rarely on sale—but just now, it’s on a 75% discount. That’s just $3.25 USD for the whole audiobook!
Please feel free to share this link with friends or clubs or whoever, to grab while the sale is on. Again, I don’t set the price on this edition, so I don’t know when it will happen again. Go get it! 
I’m so excited to share this beautiful cover with you!
Continue readingCover reveal! Feast your eyes on Carpe Noctem, a collection of stories about the night. A little spooky, a little edgy, and an extra surprise you might not expect from a book…
Night transforms the world. Owls and bats claim the sky from songbirds, nocturnal predators prowl beneath cover of darkness, and cloying shadows grow thick enough to swallow a scream. As the saying goes: people aren’t truly afraid of the dark—they fear what could be in the darkness with them.

The twenty-two authors featured within the pages of Carpe Noctem descended into these midnight waters to explore the deepest horrors and wildest wonders which darkness cloaks. This anthology is not for the faint of heart.
Carpe Noctem offers an exclusive solo-roleplaying game by Maxwell Lander to serve as your guide to this collection of nighttime tales. Or you can journey alone. What’s the worst that could happen?

Update: We did it! See note at bottom.
Once upon a time, there was a town.
It wasn’t a city, large and anonymous and impersonal. It wasn’t a tiny village, either, with only a few households of families local for generations. No, this was a town, of exactly the size you’d think of in a heart-warming holiday tale, and populated entirely by middle-class folk with harmless quirks and mildly interesting jobs.
Henry (he sponsored lighted wreaths for two lamp posts on the town square) noticed it first. He watched for a moment, and when it was time for his coffee break he went next door to the post office (garland on the counter, with some fairy lights twisted in) and pointed it out to Tanya. She was intrigued, and she thought to take a photo and text Miranda (who saw to the lighted and animated Grinch figure in front of the library). Miranda knew Todd (lighted candy canes for the courthouse lawn) would have a good view, so she asked him to walk by and report.
Continue readingJust a quick update!
I’ve just returned from the RealmMakers conference and awards banquet. Of the five short story finalists, two were mine! They were “Neon Green in D Minor,” a cyberpunk retelling of the Pied Piper fairy tale, and “Love My Neighbor,” a contemporary fantasy.
And “Love My Neighbor” won Best Short Story!
