Last weekend amidst the wild snowstorm we got hit with up here, I got to chat with the awesome Caramel Lucas of the "Keeping It Real" podcast! We touched on the type of magic I weave into my fantasy books, what gets me up in the morning (besides my awesome dog, Rory, of course!), and talked about my snarky lesbian archaeologist becoming a TV show (c'mon Netflix!)

I spoke with some of the incredible people behind the SNARC comic: Dr. Bruce Olav Solheim and Gary and Laura Dumm. The team discusses their history in comics, the process behind creating SNARC and what drew each of them to the naive alien who comes to Earth as a vanguard of an invasion.

a testament to the possibilities of the fantasy genre

So honored that - Aurealis Magazine chose to discuss Blood and Mercy in their 139th issue! This book was one of the hardest to write, and so rewarding to finally complete. 

"The series excels in using allegory to mirror contemporary issues and explore them in a unique, thoughtful manner. Frustration, hope and the transformative power of righteous fury ooze from the pages leading to the finale, and it’s cathartic to see how much of the societal commentary ends on an optimistic note...The underlying optimism of the series, balanced with unflinching realism regarding the difficulty of change at personal and systemic levels, is a testament to the possibilities of the fantasy genre—and a worthy read for our times."

Dreadfully Comforting: Finding Solace in Horror

I joined the amazing people over at The Horror Tree to share my article Dreadfully Comforting: Finding Solace in Horror. I discuss why I find the Horror Genre Comforting!

"This past year has been my horror homecoming. I took a deep dive into Hannibal and The Haunting of Bly Manor; in my reading, even when I turned to romance, the pieces I picked up had thorns, darkness, and deceit. The bodies piling up in the news tumbled into my writing. Many of the guests I’ve spoken with on my podcast in these grief- and panic-ridden times have expressed the same thing. Art–particularly fantasy and science fiction–is typically seen as escapism. So why, when we tear ourselves away from doomscrolling through horrifying headlines, do we descend into a different darkness?"
