This is the story of Jade, her first love, and her first time. But Jade isn’t her real name. And this isn’t so much about her first sexual experience as her first murder. Jade (also known as Sissy, though that’s not her real name either) has come to Rainwood, AZ for her first kill. She […]
Things I Find I Do Not Hate
Literary Support Crews
Here’s the thing about being an author: it’s a solitary, always in your head kind of thing. I can ask for help with the very tangible steps in the process (critiques, beta-reading, listening to passages), but there are times when an idea or image is a whisper of a thought in my head, something that […]
A Colorado Girl and Harry Potter Fandom
A few weeks ago I was in Scotland. Aside from the castles, thrones, and really old stuff (more to come on that later) I had the chance to indulge in some Harry Potter fandom. Just to clarify, I’m not someone who knows Harry Potter trivia in detail. I’ve read the books, seen the movies, and […]

Many of my friends and acquaintances are currently in the midst of the sheer madness that is National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). The goal: to write a book (yes, sir, that’s right a whole book) in (gasp) 30 days! As you can imagine, when writing an entire novel in 30 days, a lot of things […]
John Krasinski:Action Star?
In case you haven’t read 13 Hours in Benghazi, it’s a good book which gives the full account of the operatives who were on the ground, and under fire, when US personnel were attacked in 2012.
