Good morning, and happy Wednesday!  I’ll be writing up a storm today to meet my fast-approaching deadline for The Sword Unsheathed, the third book in my Guardians of Erin young adult paranormal series.

I’m also visiting two other blogs today.  Author Jean M. Grant is interviewing me and sharing an excerpt from the RONE Award-nominated The Stone Awakened (Guardians of Erin, Book 2).  Check it out here!


Also, Kameron Brook is showcasing my medieval romance Flight of the Raven, the first of The Novels of Ravenwood.  The excerpt she’s sharing is “the moment of truth” for Lady Emma of Ravenwood Keep, whose wedding night is about to take an unconventional turn.  Read it here!


That’s all the news for now.  Have a beautiful day!  🙂

Congrats again to the winners of my SUN AND SAND GIVEAWAY, whom I recently announced on Facebook.  I chose two winners for this giveaway:  Diane Sabatini and Linda Buzzard-Moffitt.

In other news, I’m on author Linda Nightingale’s blog today.  She’s spotlighting The Stone Awakened, the second book in my Guardians of Erin young adult paranormal series.  If you have a moment, stop by here to read the interview and excerpt.

And speaking of the paranormal…I’ll be investigating Ventfort Hall, a Gilded Age mansion in Lenox, Massachusetts tomorrow night.  I can’t wait!

Happy Thursday, and since tomorrow’s Friday, have a lovely weekend!  🙂

Good news! The Stone Awakened (the 2nd book in my Guardians of Erin young adult paranormal series) has been nominated for InD’Tale Magazine’s prestigious RONE Award! The week of April 15 – 21 is the reader voting phase of the award process, and if I receive enough votes, I’ll reach the actual judging phase.  Wouldn’t you know, I’ll be away on a mostly tech-free family vacation when the voting starts, but I’ll schedule a reminder post before I go.

If you’ve read and enjoyed the book, please consider voting for it. If you haven’t read it but would like to, comment below or send me a message on Facebook, and I’ll give you a free digital copy.  Just to be clear: you don’t have to vote for me to receive a copy.  But this way, anyone who does vote will have had the chance to read it.

Thanks in advance for your support.  Have a lovely weekend! 🙂

My recent giveaway for signed print copies of The Cauldron Stirred and The Stone Awakened has ended.  A million thanks to each and every one of the 682 entrants!  Alas–and to paraphrase a famous quote from the movie Highlander–there could be only one winner.

Congratulations to Jodi Hassel!  I’m sending the books on their merry way and hope you enjoy the story.  I’ll start writing The Sword Unsheathed, the third book in the Guardians of Erin series, next month.

Again, thank you to everyone who entered.  Hope you’ll check out my books, but whether or not you do, I’m wishing you a bright, beautiful 2019!
