Book three in the Daughter of the Summit and Sea series is a riptide. I hope y’all are ready to swim when you read it because this thing moves… I’m struggling to catch my breath just editing it!

Side note: Book Two will be available this December 2! πŸ₯³

Tweet reading European writersβ€”I really think we should have our own version of AWP. There could be writing, readings, wine, cheese and other European activities? What do you think? Who is in to help think/organise and make this happen?

Happy anniversary to us!🍾πŸ₯‚πŸŽŠπŸ₯³

A year ago today, Deborah sent the tweet that started all of this, bringing together writers from all over Europe for wine, cheese, writing & connectionπŸ’›

I finally started writing a short story that has been brewing since the Nebula conference last year, and already I love this quirky little character who is emerging. I can’t wait for him to tell me who he is and what he’s like to do next.

Nothing quite inspires me to write about fictional courageous women standing up to bullies quite like real life courageous women standing up to bullies.
