Author, Editor, Media Tie-In Writer

Sale: I just signed the contract for “A Nightmare for Anna” for a forthcoming anthology “By Faerie Light.” Sounds like it’s going to be a fabulous anthology.

Interview: Designer’s Diary: Savage Mojo – Shanghai Vampocalypse (Suzerain) – http://roleplayerschronicle.com/?p=35173

Publication: Happy new book to me! I’m very pleased with CHILDREN OF ANU, the second book in the Karen Wilson Chronicles. It was edited by the awesome John Helfers and the cover image is by Amber Clark of Stopped Motion Photography. The girl on the cover of the book is a representation of one of the villains in the book, 14 year old Victoria Mordecai.

Health: I started using Fitbit just over a month ago. Numerous authors talk about how a healthy mind contributes to a healthy body. I believe it. Thus, Fitbit. There’s something in the awareness of movement and steps taken that make me want to do more. To improve. It’s kind of like having a word count makes me want to write more. I’ve made a concerted effort to move more – number of steps taken and number of flights climbed. It feels good.

Freelance Gig: I’ve been working on a quiet freelance gig for a while. Now I can talk about it. Along with writing for the Shadowrun Returns kickstarter anthology with a story called “Lock and Key,” I’ve been writing and editing on the Shadowrun Returns videogame. I’m loving the work even though it’s hard and sometimes the hours are long. I really think those of you who like videogames will really enjoy it. I’m really happy to be working on it with such fabulous people at Harebrained Schemes.

Sale: Also in the Shadowrun universe, I’ve signed a contract to write a Shadowrun novella focused around a High Threat Response Team Doc Wagon team. Tentatively titled: A Day in the Life of a Lifesaver.

Convention: From June 12-16, I will be at Origins Game Fair as part of their Library. I will be appearing on panels and manning a table selling my books. Please come by and say hello. Get a book signed. There’s a no shyness zone around me. Here’s my list of panels:

Thursday, 11am – Crafting the Love Scene
Thursday, 12noon – Writing the Other
Friday, 11am – Women Writing Horror
Saturday, 10am – Good Guys Wear Black Hats
Sunday, 10am – The Art of the Short Story

I am so happy with my Melissa Allen covers. The cover art was done by Ryan Truso. I don’t know the model’s name. I wanted a corn fed farm girl from South Dakota and that’s what I got. An actual teenager on my YA series. I love this. October 13, 2015 – Never Let Me Sleep (Set in the town of Onida, South Dakota.
