The last few months have been a whirlwind of activity, aside from the holiday frenzy. For one, I just launched a new series, the Vanessa Kinley, Witch PI Series. Between a Witch and a Hard Place, the first of four novels and a prequel novella, came out on November 30th. The cover for the first…Continue reading Cover Art Galore

Two Cherokee Myths Used in the Sunshine Walkingstick Series

For me, the tales have a distinct beginning, and that beginning is with Foxfire, specifically the issue of Foxfire Magazine that gathered tales of haunts and haints and other folktales of the southern…Continue reading Painter Tales
Monster Bright
I’ve been gearing up for 2020’s workload. Part of that is creating new covers for the Sunshine Walkingstick short stories. If you’ve been poking around the website, you’ve already seen the cover for Death Omen. The covers for the short stories were, let’s face it, a bit scattered visually, so new covers were definitely needed.…Continue reading Monster Bright
