When Merrick crashed a Halloween party at the big When Merrick crashed a Halloween party at the big Victorian house on the outskirts of town that was legendary for throwing wild and weird parties, he had no idea what he was in for. In the end, he found himself with new powers, a girlfriend who can visit him in his dreams, and a seven year bond with the local Fae court. Then the mortal enemies of his new friends show up to his band's first gig, and Merrick finds himself trying to prevent the start of a war that will have consequences for everyone, Fae and human alike.

New Blog Post! "People tell you to write what you New Blog Post! "People tell you to write what you know. It’s one of the most common pieces of advice to aspiring writers. And it works: when you put down words that are based in your lived experience, they ring true. They are solid, trustworthy, something understandable by most readers. It’s why autobiographical books from famous people often do well. Readers want to feel what it was like to live that life, be involved in those moments, understand the parts of the story that weren’t shared with the general public at the time. Maybe it’s a voyeuristic compulsion, I don’t know. Maybe it’s just curiosity."

Some writers need community to help them stay focu Some writers need community to help them stay focused and motivated. I am definitely one of them! I like setting goals and seeing progress, and I enjoy working alongside other people focused on the same task, even if it's only virtually. Both my books owe a lot to NaNoWriMo, which gave me just the right push to achieve a little more than I might have. July is Camp NaNoWriMo month! Want to join in?

Some writers can push through blocks or pauses in Some writers can push through blocks or pauses in the writing process. I am not one of them, and I don’t think that’s a healthy approach for me anyway. A pause is when the story stops rolling out of my brain and through my fingertips onto the screen for a short period. It isn’t the same as a block–where nothing will come and it feels like a scramble to find any words at all–it’s more like needing to hit the pause button on a video while I take a bio or snack break. Except in this case I’m not the one hitting the pause button, it’s the story itself. It’s like the story needs to gather itself together before we can go on telling it.

I’ve talked about the soundtracks [aka mixtapes] I’ve talked about the soundtracks [aka mixtapes] to my books a couple of times here, and how the music is part and parcel of the atmosphere and story — integral, if you ask me. You could read the stories and never listen to the tracks I chose to go with each chapter, but you’d be missing out on some of the nuance and thematic references. I mean…it’s up to you, I guess… Seriously though, the concept of a soundtrack for my stories comes in part from the longstanding tradition in visual media, sure, but even more so from my longstanding tradition to make mixtapes for people I care about, or who I want to care about. I’ve been making mixtapes since I was about ten years old; at first, I used one of those old cassette recorders with a condenser mic and buttons that would make a loud CLUNK every time I would stop the player. My very first foray into learning how to make a proper mix was figuring out how to eradicate that CLUNK from the recording. ---read the rest, including my super secret way to eliminate the CLUNK that will serve you well if you're traveling back to 1978, at my blog.
