Wouldn't it be nice if blurbs were honest? If they could just tell you why a book is cool, and who would like it? "This book is rill good.

Don't worry though, it's a very impermanent cult, and I'll be free of it by Monday. What's that you say? How did I come to … Continue reading Goodbye, I’m Joining a Cult
Gender Reveal For Books
IT'S AN URBAN FANTASY MYSTERY!!! Thank you! Thank you! Yes, we're very proud. We thought we'd be writing another urban fantasy mystery, but you never know if your brain has other plans.

We like to qualify failure. "You'can't fail if you try. If you get back up. If you persevere. If you learn something." The semantics police have the line between failing and not succeeding on lock down. But I'm here to politely request that folks stop tellin' me whether or not I've failed at something. I … Continue reading Failing Is For Everyone!
Wake Me Up Next Week
It's all just sitting there. Taunting me. All of the things I want are staring back at me from where I sit on the couch, trying to make sense of this work I have to do and dreaming about things like painting over nail holes. Is this what I've become? A nail-hole dreamer? Am I so … Continue reading Wake Me Up Next Week

Near Future, Near Failure
I learn a lot from seeing the thoughts of others. A lot of the time, it's bitter medicine. It feels like we spend all this time being told we're wonderful the way we are, that we can be anything, but somewhere around our mid-twenties, if you still believe that, you've stopped growing, and will be … Continue reading Near Future, Near Failure
