Yes, that is my real name. Author. DIY-maniac. Mom. Wife. Generally overwhelmed by things I've created.
When trying to decide on the artwork to share this month, I kept coming back to pictures with Benja and going, “Aw,” at myself because her fate in the books hurt me more than it hurt you, I promise. She’s always been one of my favorite side characters from thisContinue Reading
Okay, so it’s the second Wednesday of the month and I meant to do this on the first Wednesday of every month, but last week was crazy with the start of school and I needed a minute. 🙂 BUT, here is the second piece of artwork I made recently forContinue Reading
Today’s the day when I can finally share with you the artwork I’ve spent months preparing. (I have 70+ of these! No generative AI was used, but I did spend countless hours searching through free-use stock photos and drawing/painting in my Sketchbook Pro and other art programs — huzzah forContinue Reading
Sirens and Assassi, Book 5 of The Alt-World Chronicles, comes out tomorrow! A huge “Thank You” to everyone who preordered! In other news, I’ve decided to no longer review other authors’ books on my site. While I love 99% of the authors I’ve worked with, there were a few recentlyContinue Reading
Book 5 of The Alt-World Chronicles is out this Saturday! This book has a definite summer-read vibe, so I wanted to get it out in time to be read on a beach, beside a pool, or wherever you like to chill during the summer. I had a lot of funContinue Reading
Since I’ve been creating a LOT of character/world art for The Alt-World Chronicles, I decided to update the cover for Origini because I kept staring at it and thinking it was lacking. Now is definitely the time to sign up for my newsletter if you haven’t already, because starting nextContinue Reading
It’s been a while, but I have been BUSY! There’s a lot of cool stuff coming in the near future, but for now… “Sirens and Assassi,” the fifth book in The Alt-World Chronicles, is nearly ready. I’ve set the release date for July 25, and the eBook is available forContinue Reading
Greetings and Happy Holidays! Quick news: My collection of eBooks is available as part of the Smashwords 2025 End of Year Sale! This is a huge sale where you could easily find enough books to fill your Kindle this Christmas, and many eBooks are completely free! This is a great wayContinue Reading
It’s my birthday weekend, so here’s a gift for you! I recently added a new Part 3 onto the end of “The Eighth” (Intro to the Alt-World Chronicles). This little scene, tacked onto the end of the previously existing short story, gives a brand new perspective on events from Roman’sContinue Reading

With “The Fairy Master Capturi” coming out early this summer, I’m reviving my ARC Team for The Alt-World Chronicles. If you’re interested in reading any (or all) of the books in this series — with the understanding that you will then write honest reviews to help me promote the booksContinue Reading
For those of you who follow me on social media (Facebook and Instagram), you might’ve seen the new covers I created for the prequel and the first 3 books in the series. I did this largely because I lost the artwork for the previous covers and needed to make aContinue Reading
I can’t believe it has been 20 years since I finished the main books for The Kota Series! In reality, this series started when I was 9 years old, back when my mom suggested I write a story about the “game” we played every day as kids. (I’m not goingContinue Reading
I first read “Creepy Sheen” from this author and was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it, and this collection was a great follow-up, full of fresh, creative, somewhat insane ideas. I think I laughed almost as much as I cringed. A turducken come to life? That’s only theContinue Reading
I loved everything about this book and read it in about two sittings. The main character is written so well that you feel like you know him personally, and he’s by no means a perfect character but rather a relatable human with complex emotions, thoughts, flaws, and a history thatContinue Reading
Have I read pretty much everything this author has put out? Yes, yes, I have. And once again, I was not disappointed with this short story collection. These are fun – albeit spooky and disturbing – horror stories that are unique and always, always leave me wanting more. Demmer isContinue Reading
