Welcome to My Blog
There is nothing more I like than yapping. This is a space where I share poems, short stories, and spiels about my life as a displaced appalachian.
Q&A with Alora, Kaelen, and Selwyn
What happens when a mortal woman, a fallen seraph, and a fae of flame sit down for a chat? Sparks. Lots of them. This week’s post dives into my first round of character interviews for The Flame of Ilythir—and yes, the tension is already brewing.
Shadow, Ice, and Flame: Introducing My Newest Characters
After finishing Alice and the Shadow, I found myself inspired to explore another corner of the Xenia world. This time, I’m diving into a new fantasy: The Flame of Ilythir. It’s darker, romantic, and a little daring—featuring three characters whose magic, love, and choices might change everything.
Finding My Rhythm Again
The past two weeks have flown by in a blur of library shelves, yarn, and new routines. Between starting my new job and learning how to crochet a donkey for my niece, I’ve been learning what balance really means—and how healing can quietly take root in everyday life.
