“…flying in circles inside a jar…”

Happy Valentine’s Day!!!  Today I’m announcing which brother The Mephisto Kiss is about. Opinions about which one you hoped it would be were all over the board, but here’s how the numbers fell: Kyros – 13 Denys – 5 Phoenix – 4 Ty – 3 Zee – 3 Any brother will do – 5 Thanks [...]

“…cursed missed opportunities…”

Would you like to know which Mephisto brother takes center stage in the next Mephisto book, The Mephisto Kiss? Do you have a favorite? One who you wish it would be? Hint: Due to a glitch, there’s apparently a rollover error on my website, which shows book 2 to be about Xenos. Next hint: It’s [...]

“Run and tell all of the angels…”

I think we can all agree that I suck at blogging. We probably all also agree that people who go off about how they suck at blogging, suck. So, just know that I’m aware. I’ve got a bit of news for readers. Book 2 of The Mephisto Covenant series now has a title and release [...]

“…don’t you run back inside, darlin’…”

Let’s talk about where ideas for stories come from.  I have an author friend who replies, when asked, “I buy them from a guy in Montana.” In interviews, I’ve had all kinds of questions, but I can usually count on this one: ”What inspired you to write The Mephisto Covenant?” In a way, I think that’s a [...]

“I got a scar I can talk about…”

I’m anxiously awaiting edits for Book 2 in the Mephisto Covenant series. My editor tells me I’ll have his line edits and the edit letter tomorrow, then we’ll discuss it on Tuesday. This is going to be difficult because the book needs a lot of work. It was, bar none, the hardest book I’ve ever [...]

“…and you know it don’t come easy…”

Last year, I was asked to contribute an essay for an anthology published by Smart Pop Books. The anthology is a collection of essays that discuss different elements of mythology within P.C. and Kristin Cast’s House of Night series. I had the privilege of signing advance reading copies at BEA in New York last May, [...]

“Woke up, fell out of bed, dragged a comb across my head…”

A Day In The Life of an Author One whose book was just released…. What a day! I woke up this morning to an explosion in my inbox, so many warm, beautiful tweets, and multiple messages on Facebook. I was already over the moon, but the amazing things people have said today makes this SO [...]

“I’ll love you with all the madness in my soul…”

All this week, the lovely ladies at Teen Book Scene are hosting The Mephisto Covenant on a blog tour. Yesterday, we were at A Good Addiction with tweets from Mephisto. This was a fun post – check it out! Today, I’m with Erica at The Book Cellar talking about favorite books. Go over and give [...]

“Closing walls and ticking clocks…”

In four days, THE MEPHISTO COVENANT will be out in the world. I’ve been to book conventions, guest blogged, been interviewed, and properly and discreetly pimped my book on Twitter and Facebook. The ARC has been making the rounds since March, and a couple of months ago, Egmont put the title up on Net Galley. [...]

“…breathing is the hardest thing to do…”

Have you ever hung out at Urban Dictionary? In the procrastination game, it’s pretty righteous – and funny. I went over to look up ‘street cred’, and came up with the following: 1. your “coolness” factor 2. imaginary “points” you get when you do something cool Okay, sounds good. Then there’s this: 1.
