An Excerpt from Tales of Dunes and Dragons
I’m so excited about this book coming out! Only about six weeks to go! The sled is moving closer and closer to the city walls. My momentary excitement dwindles like the water supply now that we’re here. The alpha wolf stumbles as he crosses the entrance, but he catches himself and resumes his gait. Orion’s …
The Tale Behind Tales of Sand and Stars
Tales of Sand and Stars is the novel that I wrote about when I talked about how The Scorpion’s Lullaby came to be. Tales wasn’t the first novel I ever wrote, nor was it the first one to get me an agent, but it’s still extremely special to me, because it was my first NaNoWriMo …

An Excerpt from Tales of Sand and Stars
I sit on my sleeping mat and unweave the braids in my hair, wondering if I’ll be able to sleep. I knew I never fully belonged in the Kingdom of Sand, and it wasn’t just my eyes telling me that. They welcomed me as their Storyteller, but it wasn’t enough. The Kingdom of Sand might …
You Gotta Read This: Wings of Time and Fate
Wings of Time and Fate had me riveted from the first page. Seriously, this is a gorgeous book!

The creatures were amazing and they were …

The Long Journey for The Scorpion’s Lullaby
[Note: this basic story was sent out to my newsletter in March.] Almost four and a half years ago, writing under a different name, I started a young adult fantasy tale during National Novel Writing Month. The story just flowed, and I finished it that month. A few weeks later, I landed a literary agent …
The Scorpion’s Lullaby – Chapter One
I’m so excited about publishing this YA fantasy, because I’ve been working on it for years! It’s quite a bit different from my Haunted Halls books, though, so I wanted to give people a chance to check it out and decide if it might work for them. So, here’s the first chapter! Chapter One My …
