The Rules of Magic #1 There are two kinds of Magic: Creation Magic – the Magic of Making – and Old Magic – the Magic of Unmaking. Something made with Creation Magic can only be negated with Making. If the magic of Unmaking is used, a cataclysmic instability can occur. Think antimatter. When I wasContinue reading “Trilby’s Rules of Magic”

My Alternate Universe
I have published dark fantasy involving giant spider creatures and good and evil Magic, a contemporary fantasy/time travel story set in 10th century Ireland and modern times, and children’s books. As an independent author I hustle my books wherever I can. I recently took part in an art fair with artists and other authors. ThereContinue reading “My Alternate Universe”
Current Works in Progress – It’s all Fantasy
I’m working on three books at the same time. The reason is Chaos, which is finished pending final proofing, has been in the works for ten years and I want to get it out there. A couple years ago, while searching my computer and backup for all my files on Chaos, I found Fire Song,Continue reading “Current Works in Progress – It’s all Fantasy”
Updating my Website
Someone once told me a good bio should tell things nobody knows about you, so here goes. When I was nine, I lived in Ismay, Montana. I wrote and illustrated a story my teacher talked me into submitting to the Montana State Fair. I won a blue ribbon! As an adult, I’ve written two booksContinue reading “Updating my Website”
Do you believe in fate? No scary spiders, promise!
This morning before I leave for knitting I drop two Eggo waffles – my usual quick breakfast – into the toaster. I do not like pancakes or waffles, but I love the “chocolatey” chip Eggos (which I realize aren’t real chocolate). I only like them toasted crispy so they’re not the least bit soggyContinue reading “Do you believe in fate? No scary spiders, promise!”
Free Book! Get Gatekeeper, dark fantasy

Click on the cover image to snag your free copy. What happens after the evil spider creature, who was once human, is defeated?Continue reading “Free Book! Get Gatekeeper, dark fantasy”
Giant, Scary Spiders and More
Welcome to the world of Chaos, nightmares and spiders For all of you to whom I have promised a sequel to my scary giant spider novel, Gatekeeper. I’m three chapters from the end of Chaos–which are written, but need revision. Then I’ll do another draft and get it out to a few readers who’ll giveContinue reading “Giant, Scary Spiders and More”
Do Not Read if You’re Afraid of Spiders!
I am terrified of spiders. I’m working on the sequel to Gatekeeper, a fantasy horror novel. The second book is Chaos. Both books have scary spiders. I’m not fond of autumn. I don’t like the sound made by blowing leaves or tree branches rubbing together. Especially at night. I think dry leaves moving inContinue reading “Do Not Read if You’re Afraid of Spiders!”
You can read this because I haven’t gotten to the scary spiders yet!
Suppose universes exist like bubbles in a vast cosmos. Suppose there is a way to travel between these bubbles from one world to another. I can’t “science the shit out of this” like Mark Watney in Andy Weir’s book, The Martian. So, in the spirit of fantasy readers and writers, suspend disbelief and accept theContinue reading “You can read this because I haven’t gotten to the scary spiders yet!”
From Red Paint People to Magic
In my world of contemporary fantasy, the unreal can become real. Real historical facts: Vikings and other explorers visited northeastern North America at least 1000 years ago. Scottish sailors and others probably explored the region in the 1300s and 1400s. The Red Paint People were an indigenous group that livedContinue reading “From Red Paint People to Magic”
